It has been awhile since I posted any music links but the Carolina Chocolate Drops make good music and deserve another update.

Here is an interview followed by a performance. Enjoy.

Here is an article about two diverse yet notable musical anniversaries from way back in 1936. Neat how both have stood the test of time.

I have always been a bit torn about protest songs. First, most of them are before my time and those who still use the same old songs – not to mention drum circles – seem to be as out of touch as those backward-thinking cretins they are protesting against. Second, other than making you feel good, it often does nothing to advance the cause. Hell, it probably turns off more people than anything.

That said, here are a few songs that have – in the main – stood the test of time.

They may still be of little value, but a lot of good music here at least.

This was a pretty good segment on music and writing that I listened to yesterday. I got to hear most of it and have had it on in the background today.

Cool animal related musical medley. Buried a bit into the episode since the old links are dead.

The New Year's song: "Auld Lang Syne" - CBS News Video

This is just damn cute. Enjoy.

Not sure how I missed this interview/DJ set but I am entertaining myself by giving it a solid listen this morning.

You, too, can enjoy it as well.

Hugh Laurie makes good music. Check it out:

Sunday Morning had a nice story on his music, but they inexplicably haven’t put the video online.

An exceptional story about the song and the band itself.
