FREE COUNTRY, FREE MUSIC



Happy 4th!

The method to our madness at My Damn Channel has always been simple. We put independent artists we love & trust in charge of their own channels to bring you free comedy & music.

Don Was conjured up mighty free magic with the release of "Stand by Me," a new version of the Ben E. King classic - made for the people of Iran - by Iranian superstar Andy, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks, Don Was & friends. 

"Stand by Me" is only one week old today and we're closing in on the first million views worldwide! THANK YOU for sharing this song and video and free mp3 and for moving it across continents and into Iran.

Here's the first, in-depth interview with Don about how this all came about by Nicole Sandler.  (giving me trouble on IE - fine on Safari?! - must need more beer)

Nicole has one of the most impressive careers in radio. She's broadcast on some of the best music radio stations across the country. A true music fan with fine taste. You can find Nicole talking music, politics and more on Air America and we also recommend her blog at RadioOrNot.com.

Nicole spoke with Don Was about putting together the "Stand by Me" project - about Was (Not Was) - and about creating, producing and curating the Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music here on My Damn Channel.

    By kmarkscott on August 19, 2009, at 4:39PM PST I can't thank Don Was enough for the Nashville recordings. It included some of the most outstanding song writers, artists and musicians this crazy music biz has to offer. The vids with Sweet Pea Atkinson and "Better Slow Down", Guy Clark with "Hollywood", Lori McKinna's "How Romantic Is That", Sass Jordan's "How Do I Get It Right" all came at a time when I needed REAL, heart-felt, tangeble lyrics. Damn!! The whole Damn Channel is great. THANK YOU DON!! You a Damn Talent!! Mark Scott, Idabel, OK
