These horseless carriages will never catch on. I, for one, don't want to turn that damn crank every time I need it to move. Here's another funny one. You'll Have to Get Off and Walk, by Will F. Denny. Please, comment below.

He's the chief justice at a baseball game. This is his job. He takes it very seriously. At least he gets paid. Nice to know the meme predates the internet. Here's The Umpire is a Most Unhappy Man, performed by Edward M. Favor. Seriously, I enjoyed this one alot more than I should have.

Enforcing the "one per artist" rule is getting a bit tricky. The subreddit seems to have a thing for artists like Arthur Collins and Billy Murray. In fact, the song I originally wanted to feature in this entry had to be changed because it conflicted with my choice for 1911. That said, this is In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree, by Henry Burr.

My fifth entry, and only now do I feature quartet music? Dearie me, that simply won't do. Here's Sweet Adeline, as performed by the Haydn Quartet. This song tends to get around. In the suggestion box alone, I noticed covers by the Mills Brothers as well as a contemporary group. I may end up revisiting this one at a later date.

movies/tv Breaking Bad or Walking Dead?
Mand'alor Dash replied to Techno-chan's topic in Media Discussion
Breaking Bad had 5 excellent main seasons, and just started a brand new spin-off that's every bit as good as the original. It will be remembered as one of the greatest television shows of our generation, if not of all time. Walking Dead had three mediocre seasons, a fourth season so unbearable that I couldn't even finish it, and a fifth season that I don't even want to touch. It will be remembered as a lazy, low-budget cash-in that treated its viewers like idiots and ran several years past its expiration date. Never seen a single episode of Law & Order or NCIS. I watched one episode of CSI: Miami, and had to turn it off because the brazen idiocy gave me migranes. Breaking Bad is nuttin' like the typical crime drama. -
MLPF's timed publishing feature is a godsent. Helps me complete these things in a wide swathe without worrying about publishing times. Good afternoon, forums. Here's Always in the Way, as sung by Byron G. Harlan. And yes, I apologize profusely for the audio quality. Recording technology was still in its earliest form in 1903. It'll get better quickly.

Thank you for your suggestions yesterday. I've taken a few of them to heart, but understand that I can't let every song be a request. One of the 1900s suggestions I received, for example, was not recorded until the 1920s. I'm going for historical accuracy here, so sadly, this means I can't use anachronistic recordings, even if the song was written or scored in the correct year. I admit, I'm leaning on the subreddit a bit for these early years. As much as I love old music, these early recordings are new to me, too. Reddit's a very helpful resource. Today's record is Bill Baily, Won't You Please Come Home by Arthur Collins. Enjoy.

A Century in Song is written up to 1911. Feel free to suggest songs from after that year.

Ren: '29. Nice. I'll keep this one in mind, it sounds fantastic. I might want to use a different artist though, since it's already hard enough to narrow it down to just one song by Louis.
Cedar: Sounds right up the alley for this project. Though, the recording I found sounds like it's been restored. I'd like to find an unchanged version to keep with the period.

@, Is there a vintage recording of Elgar's Twilight you can point me to? By that, I mean one that was recorded in 1910.

I've already finalized the tracklist up through 1909, but the rest of these I could very well do!

And the journey continues. Here's When You Were Sweet Sixteen By Harry MacDonough. I forgot to mention this in the first entry, but please comment. Discuss the music, recommend future songs, anything. Let's get this thing going.
