Has anyone come across any good open source or free (as in doesn't cost $) music?

Please share links, would be interesting to hear some of it. I haven't found anything myself, but I'm sure it exists?...

I'm not looking to pirate commercial music, I'm trying to find good FREE music.

I have used http://www.jamendo.com/ before and even made a review, forgot about that site.

Any more ideas? Maybe specific artists?

I am looking for anything that you think is good, but is not just for me but a general thread to find good free or open source music.

I think this one is a good site for royalty-free music:

I'm a commercial music composer as my day job, who would be more than willing to create music for an open source project or anything having to do with Linux, under a creative commons license. PM or email me for my website.
