The war of art

A friend writes,

Thought you'd be interested in the online music distribution channels that're popping up to route around Big Media's disinclination to air anti-war songs. Artists are taking it directly to the people (listen to REM's "Last Straw" at http://www.remhq.com/finalStraw/finalstraw.html) and at least one new site has sprung up: http://www.protest-records.com, from Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore. Take that, Clear Channel.

I have no interest in talking about the war, but music is interesting. I'm downloading a few tracks from the protest records site now.
