Cool fact: Much like Secret Messages, Time was originally planned as a double album! Apparently there are at least two tracks from those sessions ("Sad Affair" and "Time Transporter") that have never been released in any form.

Today is the fortieth anniversary of Face Value, so it sounds like there's some Phil Collins in the air tonight!

And of course, one always turns the volume way up just before that climactic flourish on the drums.

Oh no! I just found out that Louis Clark, conductor/orchestral arranger/occasional keyboardist for ELO, passed away on the 13th.

Oh no! I just found out that Louis Clark, conductor/orchestral arranger/occasional keyboardist for ELO, passed away on the 13th. sorry to hear that. I played Dr Hook's greatest hits this week. It's the first time I've heard lots of them. I found a fiver on the street, a verse into Millionaire. I quite liked the tongue in cheek approach to a number of them, which gives it something more than a lot of easy listening ballad styles. I quite liked the mesh of influences too, like country, soft rock and I was picking up a little light funk later on.

I fell down the 70's rabbit hole last night. Lots of ARS, Paul Davis, Robbie Dupree. Just some great old stuff from my youth.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

I was telling someone at work about the lyrics of I Need Her Love:-
"She tells me everything, she makes me smile, she tries to sing,
But never shares her suffering, if things are going wrong,"
Apart from Lynn patronising her singing ability, what tool thinks that a partner not sharing problems is a good thing. Creepy lyrics of the day award.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

I've always thought
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day
from "Do Ya" is pretty bizarre. Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Eh, "Do Ya" has terrible lyrics. It's like a nerd pretending to be a ladies man. Unless it was meant as a parody of the machismo of the early 70s when Lynne wrote it?  Anyhow, the riff is great, the melody is strong, and the beat is good, and those are the things that keep me listening to it again and again.

It was originally a B-side to the final single by a band that was no longer the main focus of its members, so he might not have put a lot of effort into polishing up the lyrics.

EDE, have you ever thought about writing a book about the ELO family tree and/or the Genesis family tree? I think you'd do a great job.

D.F. could readily do that blue-eyed Soul growl when he felt so inclined, despite everyone remembering him more for lite-rock ballads like "Longer," if they still remember him at all. [video:youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=653k7H7yGrw[/video] ("Missing You," - live version, 1991) Makes you wonder what other musical directions he'd have gone in if the cancer hadn't had its way.

The WIlburys were SO GOOD. Loved both of those albums. Always thought it was such a shame that Orbison died so young right when his career was re-accellerating.

Glad to learn you're a Wilburys fan, too, GL. Regarding Orbison, I try to be philosophical about it -- he'd endured career setbacks and terrible tragedy, then found both true love and a great manager in the same woman, and staged a comeback of the type almost never seen. He also seemed to be a good person with good values who had arrived at the best possible place in his life. So, even if it meant we wouldn't get any more music from him (bar the posthumous collection of "Mystery Girl" outtakes) maybe he was just meant to go out on top.
