In bumbling and stumbling around the internet, I've happened upon a couple of music blogs recently. Both post mp3 files for a limited time - so you can evaluate them, of course, not so you can steal them, no - and both are moderately entertaining, but one of them is so much cooler than the other.The less cool is Some Velvet Blog - posting semi-thematic mp3 collections every few days. All in all, worth bumping through once a week or so.
But then there's The Late Greats (check the blog's address backwards) - into which I stumbled via this Wilco-related post and into which I've fallen into true music-geek love.
The Late Greats gives mp3 collections in absolutely fascinating ways. To whit,
- Homonym Monday - different songs with the same title
- Saturday Soundtracks
- A driving mix for the blogger's wife Yes, I Think You've Seen This Before - comparing oddly similar album covers
- Guilty Pleasures for Humpday - in which we get music that just eats into your brain every Wednesday
- A collection of Hawaiian music
- And my personal favorite Cover songs better than the originals
