Quiet lurker/music lover who "accidentally" also became a part-time weird conversationalist. Music Recommendations. I prefer CDs and records. Ironic.

(please set the order of the photos from a-z on the album, as except for the last few, that's the exact order I took them in.)
That's the link to the photo album, because I was having trouble uploading them to Fimfic.

Ouch, I fell off the tightrope into the abyss below!

I don't know what I just did with this blog post at all.:raritycry:

Tightrope by Electric Light Orchestra from the 1976 album A New World Record.

ELO Week 3/9 (Mixtape 20) · 12:27pm Yesterday

Ah, yes we come to what I deem to be my "favorite" (hard air quotes there) ELO song.

I mean, there's probably others I like just as much (and I truly enjoy all of their songs) but there's just something special about this one.
It also helps that this song reminds me greatly of Past Sins, but that's a story for another day.

ELO Week 2/9 (Mixtape 19) · 12:50pm Last Thursday

ELO's fourth album is called Eldorado.
Best Fimfiction mod.

It's structured so that a lot of songs flow together without any silence between tracks, which is wonderful.

This isn't my favorite song (Well, a song and its intro song, similar to Sirius/Eye in the Sky), but I would be remiss if I didn't include it.

Eldorado Overture and Can't Get It Out of My Head by ELO, 1974.

You won't be able to get it out of your head.

ELO Week 1/9 (Mixtape 18) · 12:25pm Last Wednesday

Y'know what, I'm gonna take like nine days and pick a song from most of the Electric Light Orchestra albums that I have (but not all of them).

I hope by next Thursday you'll have understood completely why this is necessary.

Eheheh... Favorite Band Time. :pinkiecrazy:


Dreaming of 4000 by ELO from the 1973 album On the Third Day, their third album.

Tape Deck's Mixtape: Track 17? · 12:36pm Last Tuesday

The band with the best-selling album of all time in the US, and the second best-selling album of all time in the entire world is the Eagles.

While not my favorite band by any means, you can tell by listening to the album in question, Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975), that the reason they sold so many copies is pretty obvious.

Tape Deck's Mixtape: Track 15 · 12:38pm Last Sunday

Just a disclaimer: I'm pretty sure the song's not even supposed to be offensive.

(And this isn't a Parental Advisory warning or anything like that, but you'll see.)

Mongoloid by Devo. (From the 1978 album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!)

Mmmm...that drum intro...

Remember CCR a few days ago?

Yeah...Deep Purple's another band that Anthropology directly introduced to me.:twilightsheepish:

<sigh> What can I say but the truth?

They're pretty amazing. Of course I could put Smoke on the Water here, but that's not my favorite song from the only album I have of theirs, Machine Head. (Released in 1972.)

That designation has to go to:

About Me. (Oh Boy) · 3:19am May 25th

Hey there, friends and followers of mine, as well as you randos who just clicked on this page. Yes, I see you there, and I don't mind.

Heck, I made this blog post so that people can get to know me more, so you're in the right place. (It gets more interesting after my random things that I like, but I'd still like you to read those, please.)

And RainbowDash2012 says to tell you that I, Tape Deck, am AWESOME. Fine by me.
