Murderous psycho and wannabe musician Charles Manson has released a
record under a Creative Commons license, according to the LimeWire
Music Blog
<http://blog.limewire.com/posts/1616-Even-Charles-Manson-Digs-Creative-Commons>.

Manson, ringleader of the "Manson family" cult that killed actress
Sharon Tate and committed other ghastly crimes during the late '60s,
always fancied himself a musician. His record One Mind -- which was
originally released in 2005, according to CharlieManson.com
<http://www.charliemanson.com/updates-2005.htm> -- gives everybody a
glimpse of his musical artistry (as well as his whack-job theories) --
and the Creative Commons license means you're free to share and remix
Manson's mad tracks.

According to a blurb on the website of Manson's label, Family Jams,
"One Mind is pure Charlie, no additions, no corrections, no added
opinions, filters or editing. This is all new material, the most
recent as far as we know, consisting of songs, trance-poetry,
conversations, raps, ramblings, musings and more."

With his out-of-tune acoustic guitar, warbling vocals and nutty intros
("This is a song about something that I'm not even thinkin' about,"
Manson says before "Angels Fear to Tread"), the jammin' jailbird
sounds like a demented hobo on One Mind's 16 tracks. Can't wait for
the killer remixes.

In opting for the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 Generic
license <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/>, Manson
follows in the footsteps of Radiohead, Trent Reznor and others who are
paving a new path through the music biz. While old-school record execs
probably think you have to be nuts to release a record under a
Creative Commons license, Manson's move proves you can be crazy and go
that route.

You can download One Mind <http://limewire.org/mblog/manson> (69-MB
.zip file) or head to the Family Jams website
<http://www.familyjams.com/> and order a hard copy for $15. (Also
available: A DVD of Manson's 2007 parole hearing, a bargain at just
$35.) Or you can forget that this monstrous music even exists.
