"Jon Ward's Excavated Shellac focuses on ethnic music on 78's. He's one of the smartest obsessive record collectors I know, and the stuff he posts I would gladly pay to download.

"Anything named after a book by Pessoa is okay with me. Disquiet is a mix of new music, electronica, and general sound related weirdness, with plenty of downloads, news, and even images of new sound technology. Should definitely appeal to Wire readers."

"If you like old book covers and literature in translation, this kicks butt. The texts are amazing and you will discover authors you never heard of and must find. And I have to say I drool over all the early book covers... One of my favorite blogs."
