ohmanohmanohmanohmanohman...

The Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project is some amazing project going down at the Santa Barbara University of California.  What's it all about?  Converting old-timey music from wax cylinders to mp3s and putting them on computers!

Check out the site, browse about, there are hundreds of amazing relics from our musical and comedy past.  I've included a few in this post.  Some of my favorites are the incredibly off-color songs about the Irish...there appeared to be an Irish character named Flanagan that caught most of the flack.
