So that's what Daniel Ingram has been talking about for a while: the score for the movie. :)

The score comes out on iTunes, Spotify and YouTube online tomorrow, though it seems to have released one day early. (Unless the videos for the score are taken down on YouTube later.)

"Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today, hey hey

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?

So some of you may be wondering why I haven't updated Spectrum of Lightning in the past month.

And that's because I was busy practicing and recording my lines for this bad boy.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

I'm so excited! I know it's past its "Now in Development" stage. And it's still in there somewhere. But my god! This was so sick! (Sora too OP)!

Never a Christmas music mix without some Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Today, we're listening to their rendition of "What Child is This?"

I had the pleasure last year to see them live--and it was EPIC! Up till then, I didn't know their tracks were more than instrumental (boy, did I learn quickly).

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.

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

I'm no shipper.

benjovi2004 knows this.

But I can't help but think of Sparity for some reason whenever I hear this song.

The Diary of Horace Wimp by Electric Light Orchestra from the 1979 album Discovery.

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.

Secret Messages by ELO, from the 1983 album of the same name.

Basically during the Eldorado/Face The Music years, Elo was accused by some of having malicious backwards messages in their songs.

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

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

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

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't even have to explain this one to you.

Prologue/ from the 1981 album Time.

I locked Tape Deck out of his house.

What?

I just wanted a turn again.

(And yes, this is the song for June 6th, but Tape Deck was already planning to do it tonight anyways, as he'd be busy tomorrow.

Now he's busy being attacked by wolves.

(Actually, I hope not. He's really a great guy. If I were one of his followers, I'd be sure to admire every word he types.)

Okay, ELO time!

Wrote this arrangement about a year ago; decided it would be time to just upload it.

Hope you enjoy it.

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.

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 (1977).

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.

Some guy even wrote a fic inspired by it:

I hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas today!

Here's a few songs for the season:
