While busy with my annual compilation I came across music I found on musical-heritage.blogspot.com (as always: found through www.weirdomusic.com). It's a great weblog about world music with many downloads. So here you have my tip of the day :)

Pop Music: The Early Years 1890-1950
A few weeks back I had much fun with the 2-disc compilation Pop Music: The Early Years 1890-1950 that I found on Bravo Juju. The title of the compilation pretty much explains it all. Disc 1 starts with the "Washington Post March", which may scare you off because of it's poor recording quality and because, well, it's a march. But stay in there. The second song "King of the Bungaloos" already sounds a lot better.
Other favorites are:
- How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm? - Nora Bayes
- Black and Blue - Ethel Waters
- Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man - Aunt Jemima
- Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition! - Kay Kyser & His Orchestra (who doesn't love a song with a title like that? :) )
I'm back
The last few years I gathered a multitude of accounts on social networks such as blogspot, last.fm, hyves, facebook and even twitter (just to name a few). Because with each social network account comes a blog, I had to a post for each and every social network. What a drag. Now I managed to collate hyves, facebook and twitter to my blog on blogspot.com.
To make a long story short: I saved myself some work so it's fun to start blogging again. I'm going to use my blog to post my latest discoveries in music, so be prepared :)
