Due to cost and legal hassles in licensing a single track for a small
project I strongly recommend that you find suitable music somewhere else
where it's either free or can be licensed with a few clicks and a credit
card for a few hundred bucks.
I recommend Jamendo (www.jamendo.com) for that, they have a catalog of
over 50.000 albums distributed under creative commons and many of them
offer their music under a license that allow derivate works (sometimes
even commercial) without any payment or special permission.
Others wants to be paid for commercial use and Jamendo has a standard
fee for that and a license can be aquired and paid for with a few
clicks. The license used for each track is prominently displayed and
they are all standard creative commons licenses so its easy to find out
what you are allowed and not allowed to do. If in doubt you can always
contact the artist directly. They are all struggling indies and
friendlier to deal with than a star or a major label.
Let me know if you need any help in finding music or sorting out the
license details. I'm a big fan of Jamendo and creative commons. As a
matter of principle I only listen to music released under creative
commons so that I'm free to copy it to my friends without being called a
thief or pirate. I have about 120 favorite albums from 80 artists on my
computer and I've gotten nearly all of them from Jamendo.
You can find some of my artist recommendations on my blog:

They cover most kinds of music styles.

I would really like to use some of the music of Nellie McKay in a few
promotional videos for Ubuntu. How do I go about getting them? If anyone
has experience with these types of inquiries, I'd appreciate some advise.
Kind regards,
