The commissioned theme song I wrote

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

A couple of weeks ago, Judd from the Business Jive interview podcast commissioned me to write him a theme song. It's done now, and he has posted "Can You Dig It? (Business Jive Podcast Theme)" (MP3 file) to his site, one day in advance of its appearing in his interview show with Patrick Byrne.

I'll post the track to my Penmachine Podcast soon, but here's an important note: unlike almost all my other tracks, this one is released under the Creative Commons Music Sharing 2.0 license, rather than the more flexible Attribution-Share Alike license I use most of the time. That's because Judd has paid me to write it, and for it to be exclusive for his use as a theme song. So:

• You CAN copy, share, podcast, and distribute the song for non-commercial purposes.
• You CAN'T use it as a theme song, for background music on a podcast (i.e. you should play the whole thing), for sampling or remixing, as a soundtrack, or for commercial purposes.

(You can do all those things with most of the other tracks in my podcast.) As usual, "Can You Dig It?" was mastered by Les Thorn in New York City.

So go to Business Jive and check out the track, and subscribe to the Business Jive podcast while you're there.
