More Protests on Thurston's Site

Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth has now placed sixty anti-war songs on his new Web site, protest-records.com, for free download. The site, now two weeks old, received a half-million hits in its first three days (!). In addition to the earlier offerings by the Beastie Boys ("In a World Gone Mad"), Sonic Youth ("Youth Against Facism"), Cat Power ("Rockets," "Maybe Not"), Jim O'Rourke and Glenn Kotche (a cover of Bill Fay's "Pictures of Adolf") and Chumbawumba ("Jacob's Ladder"), the site has recently added a pair of songs by the Moldy Peaches' Kimya Dawson ("Viva la Persistence," "Anthrax") and tracks by Jonny Polansky and Peter Stuart. The stencils by New York City artist Chris Habib that ben mentioned are still there too.
