    The Eleven Best Music Makes Me Posts of 2009


    8 months. 100 posts.

    Modest, I know, but this is a purely subjective selection of posts from this site in the 8 months it's been going.

    It's a bit like those 'The Best of the News' things they do on local TV around this time of year: pointless (but somehow compelling?)


    1 - A Recording of The Original Bow Bells

    2 - Alec Wilder & American Popular Song
    3 - Stickball in Stereo

    4 - An Ipswich Hip-Hop Tale

    5 - The Four Seasons - in Jazz!

    6 - Six Classical 78s - Delius, Debussy and Daniel Melsa

    7 - Coon Songs Reconsidered

    8 - Paul Patterson's Time Piece

    9 - Home-Recorded 78s Made by an Unknown French Pianist

    10 - Moroccan Found Sounds

    11 - Missa Luba (1967) - Mass in the Congo
