DAngerer09 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Via Pitchfork Wilco, Bright Eyes, Wrens on Rock the Net Compilation Also: Portastatic, DJ Spooky, They Might Be Giants, more to come DC-based non-profit Future of Music Coalition is celebrating the first anniversary of its Rock the Net campaign. To celebrate a year of fighting the good (and somewhat confusing) fight for network neutrality, the campaign is assembling a compilation called Rock the Net: Musicians for Net Neutrality. The full list of the compilation's contributors has yet to materialize, but it is shaping up nicely with confirmations from Wilco, Bright Eyes, the Wrens, They Might Be Giants, Portastatic, and DJ Spooky. And there is still time for other artists to join the fold, as Thirsty Ear Recordings is preparing the comp for a June release. On the legislative tip, strides are still being made for net neutrality. Congressmen Ed Markey (Democrat, Massachusetts) and Chip Pickering (Republican, Mississippi) recently introduced the Internet Freedom Preservation Act to the House of Representatives in an attempt to set guidelines for net neutrality. And on March 11, singer Damian Kulash of founding Rock the Net band OK Go will testify to the issue's importance for musicians before the House Judiciary Committee. Perhaps we'll get another unreleased song (Let's Fight)? Or maybe just a track off SBS to keep promoting it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
