    ELO Week 5/9 (Mixtape 22)

    This is a "symphony" of four songs, if you will, entitled Concerto for a Rainy Day from ELO's seventh album Out of the Blue.

    It's comprised of Standing in the Rain, Big Wheels, Summer and Lightning, and Mr. Blue Sky.

    I won't blame you if you don't have time to listen to all 18 or so minutes of this.

    But if you do...

    It's spectacular.

    Pics from my hike on 5/31/24 at Dolan Lake, Hamilton County, Illinois

    (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.

    ELO Week 3/9 (Mixtape 20)

    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)

    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.

Tape Deck's Mixtape: Track 7 · 12:54pm May 18th

Want some decent, pretty much standard alternative rock from 1996?

Here ya go.

King of New Orleans by Better than Ezra, from the album Friction, Baby.

Comments ( 5 )

Reminds me of my favorite Norm Macdonald joke:

"In music news, Number 1 on the college charts this summer was Better than Ezra. And at Number 2: Ezra."

Wait, really?
I've never heard that.
That's hilarious.:rainbowlaugh:
And thanks for stopping by.
(If you're interested in his as well, I'm basically piggybacking off of Vertigo22's Daily Dose of music.)

As a teenager in the 90s, I was legally required to watch SNL, back when it was still funny. Here's my other favorite quote from Norm's "Weekend Update":

At a press conference this week, FAA officials studying last year's crash of TWA flight 800 announced that they have pinpointed the cause: a frayed wire leading from the jet's fuel tank. According to the investigators, the wire became frayed when it was struck by a missile.

A little context: TWA flight 800 crashed into the ocean after it exploded midair. Eyewitnesses saw what looked like a missle hitting the plane, and radar imagery seemed to confirn it. However, the FAA blamed the frayed wire in the fuel tank.

Great again, and thanks for the context.:rainbowlaugh:

This was surprisingly good. Great choice!
