1853

If I can remember to do this often enough, this will hopefully be the first in a (more or less) daily review of music, year by year, up to the present. It ought to allow me to update more often, since I won't really have the pesky requirement of trying to think of some vaguely interesting text for each post. The year-by-year thing is its own justification; I just need to wiki each year to come up with some interesting minutiae about each 365-day period, and the posts should make themselves, right? But I looked up 1853, the year I am arbitrarily starting with, and nothing really interesting happened that year, except potato chips were invented.
