Yeah, an archive of sh*t. Old farts warbling into cans. If this "music" was actually good they wouldn't have to give it away.

Nah, I'm kidding, this is awesome.

All music is available for free.

I might maybe be a little stoked about this idea. Maybe just a little.

Copyright?

Credit card? (It has TWO c-words, so it's twice as bad, right?)

Awesome.

The Lomax recordings are definitely in the category of Auditory Diamonds In The Rough. My guess is that if they had been required listening for all to-be-future-musical-performers, we wouldn't have 75% of the crap that gets airplay nowadays.

I salute Cultural Equity for their decision.

I've been a fan of Wolfgang's Vault for about 6 years now, very cool. Between that and this

Most of the performers are pretty obscure, you probably haven't heard of them.

That dude was kinda racist.
 
2012-02-03 03:04:20 AM
As long as it has the works of Dickie Crickets and The Jersey Kid (new window), I'll be happy.

I wonder how Bernie Lax feels about this?

I just saw him last week in the hamptons and he was looking a bit stiff.

Ah, a hipster's treasure trove then.

I predict a flood of "the Lomax recordings were so much cooler before they were released on the net" in 3...2....1....
