I'm currently rerunning a series of blog posts I did for BoingBoing last year on my own blog. It is an overview of music from the first half of the 20th century and it covers everything from soul to bluegrass to jazz to classical to folk blues and country music... nothing but the very best. The focus is on how music and animation work together, but there's plenty for non-animators too. Each post has a video clip of an amazing performance. I'm up to post 11 right now, and the whole series will run 16 posts. The jump page with the introduction and links to all the clips is here...

Open your mind and ears and enjoy!
