eftychia at 01:48pm on 2018-03-20I've resumed listening to Music from 100 Years Ago[*] after catching up on history podcasts for a while. I'm up to the start of 2011 now, working my way through the archives ... And wow, it was several episodes ago, but "Accentuate the Positive" is still stuck n my head. Except for a while this morning when a passing siren ripped me out of an immediately-forgotten dream, and my brain kept trying to merge "Lilli Marleen" with "Molly Malone".
My Lilli of the lamplight
Singing cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o
[*] Recordings, mostly music, from the first half of the XXieme siècle[**] with a fair amount that really is 100+ years old. Looks like he starts each year with a show entirely of recordings from exactly one hundred years earlier.
[**] After I wrote that, I realized it looked funny, and it took me a moment to realize I'd switched to French. Dunno why, since "20th Century" is a construction my fingers have more muscle-memory for, but ... today it came out in French. Brains are weird.
