And you, and your sweet desire...

Call me an old school geek, but here it is, well past my bedtime on a school night, and I'm jamming out to the Best of ELO. I love those guys. I defy you to be unhappy when listening to "Mr. Blue Sky."


If I didn't live in a crackerbox apartment, I'd have the volume up, and I'd be dancing around to "Livin' Thing" right now. Livin' Thing has cowbell in it.

And lord knows, we all need more cowbell.

Oh, I love ELO! That is, I used to play them a lot until my sister insisted (insistered?) that I gave her back her cassette...

You're hereby invited to come to stay with us, no neighbours too close, but a decent stereo :)

Oh, heck yeah!! Now you've hit upon one of my major guilty pleasures... Jeff Lynne's one of my favorite producers ever; everything he touched seemed to turn into brilliantly overproduced gold, or at least gold leaf. I even still love their later albums ("Balance of Power" comes to mind) after everybody stopped liking them. Wish I could still squeeze into my "ELO: The Big Night 1978" concert tee without looking like a puffier Freddie Mercury...
