It's funny how these linky weblogs seem to go in cycles. A month or so ago, while going through my out-of-control bookmarks file for its first real cleanup in a number of years, I found that, coincidentally enough, a number of sites from long ago were turning up on various weblogs of today. Something in the air, I suppose. So why shouldn't I also go straight to the source (that they weren't actually drawing from)?
Here's an old favorite of mine: A Child's Garden of Record Labels -- a fine collection of obscure 45s, presented alphabetically by label name, along with learned and puckish comments. A most excellent presentation.

I've also been seeing lots of ancient, moldy stuff from the Dawn of the IntarWeb getting posted lately as if it were the fresh Link o' the Day.
Maybe we really have reached the end of the Internet?
Posted by MrBaliHai at 03:34 PM, April 27, 2004.It's a very common internet phenomenon. I see it all the time and have probably been guilty of it myself. "Everything old becomes new again," as the old saying goes.
What I hate worse is when someone steals an IDEA without credit. That happens often enough, too.
By the way, I stole this link from you, but I'm giving you full credit.
