I'll be giving it a listen as soon as I can. Another source of good CC music is always appreciated. I can understand the decision not to use anything with an ND clause. I can't say I planned that far ahead when starting Rathole Radio. I've played the odd ND track over the course of the show but I agree it's sad when artists do that. The NC clause may be unpopular with many people but I can understand why some artists choose that. As for the football, North Korea did very well yes and their striker is a great player. He could well end up moving to a bigger club after this tournament. I still think the first games were pretty awful for most teams. I mean in terms of attacking, not just goals but even shots and chances were few and far between. Germany did well in beating Australia but I can't really remember any other teams attacking freely. The less fancied nations have done really well and I'm happy for them, but it's a shame no African team has done well. Ghana look like the only ones likely to make the last 16, I hope that doesn't affect the atmosphere in South Africa. @doug Thanks for the tips, I encourage everyone to check out your show.

Here's a RHR music suggestion: check out the music Tom and I post for Music Manumit (http://musicmanumit.blogspot.com). We have a weekly talk episode (missing this week since I was in South Africa) and a music show...which I've been so out of it I'm not sure if Tom got one together. Either way, the format for the music show is we each pick 6 songs, so depending of the genres the music show could be 24 minutes or 72 minutes, but is going to usually fall in the middle. Track listings along with licenses can be found on the website. Everything is remixable, aka no -ND Creative Commons. We do allow -NC in our show though, so if you are looking to use anything for commercial purposes, make sure you check out which songs are available for use. As somewhat of an aside, I disagree that the games haven't been good. North Korea/Brazil was great as were both New Zealand games. The Swiss upsetting the Spanish, etc. Although, I guess all of those are the stories not the game itself. North Korea/Brazil was really one of the most enjoyable games I've seen in a while. It was like watching 300 on with 300 Koreans holding off the mighty armor. I had expected the Koreans to have nothing in attack but the "Asian Rooney" proved that wrong. In the end, AR didn't get the goal but their LEFT BACK got the goal. Talk about putting that parked bus into drive!
