You decide! →[More:]Now that the whole countdown thing is over and I'm taking a couple days break from it, I've narrowed down the next theme to two choices:

Early Recordings: records done by well-known artists before they became famous (and in a few cases under different names).

Oddities: some only a little unusual, some really freaking weird, some in WTF territory.

Both seem equally fun to me and I have over 100 tracks already culled for either. Based on votes here, I'll do either one first.

Early recordings.

Oddities; everybody wants to see you with a Dr. Demento-style beard and top hat.

Yeah, I would vote for early recordings first. You can always do the Oddities afterward! Heh.

Early. I love that stuff. (Oddities are fun too, obviously, but the early stuff is more exciting to me.)

posted by languagehat 25 March | 14:25

Yeah, early recordings first, weird stuff after

posted by TheDonF 25 March | 14:26

Can't go wrong with either one of 'em. Early seems like it should come first, though.

I guess I've been away longer than I thought - I have no clue what this discussion about. But I trust your instincts. I'd love to see your spin on oddities.

The intersection of both lists.

(Or, what Flo said.)

We have to choose?

posted by Eideteker 25 March | 17:21

Why not both? Alternately?

posted by redvixen 25 March | 18:06

yes, vix. I'm a one mission guy. The votes will be tabulated before I go to bed tonight and the first entry will be tommorrow.

Early Recordings.

Early recordings. The weird music site has the oddities covered.

posted by TrishaLynn 25 March | 22:35

(I've got shit even they don't have)

But it looks like the 'early recordings' have carried the day!

posted by jonmc 25 March | 22:51

Do both, stat.
How early is early¿
Karen Dalton early¿

That's it, country and yodelling, early.
