Free Classical Music!!!

I discovered this site sometime ago and was reminded of it while browsing through my old bookmarks. Musopen is a warehouse of free public domain classical music.  After creating a free account you will be able to download a vast catalog of mp3's and sheet music. Musopen let's you browse by composer, performer, instrument, period, or form. If you do enjoy the site, I would recommend donating to the cause so they can pay for other performances to be recorded and uploaded for the use of the internet community.

Horror in the Public Domain?

Who doesn't like old campy horror movies from the 1950's to get in to the spirit of Halloween? The Internet Archive host a multitude of movies and television shows which have entered into the public domain. For those that don't know, "The Internet Archive (IA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and maintaining a free and openly accessible online digital library, including an archive of the World Wide Web." - Wikipedia

IA hosts about 49 titles in the "horror" category (some entries have been duplicated, some may be better quality uploads). 1968's Night of the Living Dead and 1962's The Brain That Wouldn't Die are two good examples of films in the library. These films have entered into the public domain and are available for free to download. If downloading isn't your thing, they also stream the movie on the site (akin to youtube, hulu, etc.).
