Several music-related items to mention:

Interesting article from NYTimes #1, about Maxine Sullivan. Altho it suffers a bit from what I think of as Sunday Times house style (affected prose, infatuation with real estate, inability to get to the point), it's a good introduction to a wonderful jazz singer. Even though the theoretical point of the article -- the fate Maxine Sullivan's papers and memorabilia -- is essentially forgotten for most of the piece and left unresolved at the end.

Archeophone is a label focused on preserving and re-issuing music from the early days of recording. And they do mean early. Music of WWI, vaudeville, even minstrel shows. Stuff that I wasn't even aware had ever been recorded. Just reading thru their site is fascinating. I'll definitely have to check some of this out further. (found via Neil Gaiman's blog)

My regular day o' radio will be changing. Starting this week I'll be on air every other Thursday, 7am to 9am. Yes, it'll be the return of the best show name I've ever had -- "Wake Up and Smell the Chaos."

Finally (also from today's NYTimes) a moving farewell to the great Lee Hazlewood. I think it's fitting that someone as defiantly off-center as Hazlewood should get his eulogy now, while he's still here to contribute to it.
