ELO Week 6/9 (Mixtape 23)

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 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 (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...

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.

Tape Deck's Mixtape: Track 9 · 1:36pm May 20th

Hey RainbowDash2012.
I remember us both saying we liked 80's music a lot.

The Plastic Age by the Buggles.
(The video was edited together from some different promos, with maybe some extra images I think, by someone on YouTube.)
Their entire first album (The Age of Plastic, 1980) which includes both this song and Video Killed the Radio Star, is filled with great tracks. Please listen to it if you have the time, all of you.

It is beyond excellent, and even the bonus tracks are great.

I can't overstate how much I love that album.
