Music blogs spanning 1920s-1960s?

Where are the music/mp3 blogs for music spanning the 1920s-1960s? The amount of mp3 blogs out there is staggering and overwhelming, and it seems they're all devoted to new music. I'd like to expand my knowledge and grow my library of music from the early half of the 20th century.

I'm not picky about genre, and I welcome diverse tastes and influences.

I'd also welcome any suggestions for other music blogs that divert from the usual offerings of indie darlings, mash-ups, and ironic covers.

Can you recommend any non-Rapidshare music share blogs?

Can you recommend any non-Rapidshare music share blogs? As a musicshare blog addict, I am always on the look-out for new and exciting blogs sharing rare and cool music. Like most people doing this however, I’ve found that most of these blogs use Rapidshare in order to facilitate downloading. Unless you’re a premium subscriber, this means a max of one download every hour and a half or so – and that’s just not good enough! So I’m looking for music share blogs that use something other than Rapidshare, like direct-link MP3 downloads, or turboupload or megaupload or whatever. I’m mainly interested in older, out of print records, preferably psychedelic in nature, but the sky’s the limit really. Two non-Rapidshare faves to give you some idea are De Music Alterque and Brazilian Nuggets.

Music blog download tool?

Music blog download tool? I have a dream application: you give it RSS feeds to mp3 blogs, and it downloads the music to a well-organized target folder. Does such a thing exist? I found Jeffery Veen's wget command, but I'm wondering if there's something with a GUI out there. Mac or Windows, doesn't matter.
