The current Recovery.gov site is running Drupal on Apache/Linux, and the site designers made at least a token effort to support current Web standards in the markup (while it is XHTML with a tableless layout, the W3C's validator did flag many problems when I checked it so it isn't perfect). :
On the other hand, the new prime contractor's Web site www.smartronix.com is running on Microsoft-IIS/6.0. They do not appear to be making much of an effort to support current Web standards (fixed, table based layout).
There is a dizzying array of music available under the Creative Commons family of licenses released online via "netlabels". Much of it is electronic (ambient, IDM, etc.), but other genres can be found.
I've recently started blogging netlabel releases that I personally enjoy at: http://circumjacence.com/

So who knows, maybe they will build a beautiful new site for that $18m, but I like the old site and will be sad to see it go.
I am bald, you insensitive clod!

Much of the material I blog about comes from a fairly short list of netlabels, including (but not limited to):

Much of the music is actually hosted on archive.org, which has a good starting page at: http://www.archive.org/details/netlabels
There is a whole world of CC-licensed music out there for the adventuresome listener!
