Been listening to them all day. Genuinely upset I never got to see them live, was just a tad too young when they were last in Aus.

The album Alive was pretty much my crews soundtrack in 2007/8. We were up in Byron running amok. There was a cyclone off the coast so it rained for weeks and the swell was so crazy that the beach was closed. We stayed at a caravan park just outside of Byron and it went off every night. So much fun.

That's awesome Val - one of those albums you will forever associate with a particular time in your life. I love how music does that. It can be such a time machine for me.

Great song koshari - ELO is one of my "time machine" bands. Whenever I hear them I flash back to riding in my aunt's Barracuda as a kid, going with her to take her new lab puppy to the vets for his first visit. She was the best aunt ever - the "crazy" aunt that hopefully everyone has one. The one who let you stay up all night and watch horror movies when she babysat you. The one with cool cars and lots of dogs. And later horses, that she took you riding with. The one who would sing at the top of her lungs to the songs she loved.

Anyway, ELO always flashes me back to riding with aunt Val, and her singing at the top of her lungs, ELO cranked at 11 to this song, windows down in the summertime (yeah, it was circa Xanadu! haha.) and the puppy Bart was carsick the whole way. He must have puked about 6 times. And Val had a roll of paper towels, and each time the puppy puked I caught it in the paper towel and we put it on the dash. There was no pulling over, no stopping. That's not how Val lived. By the time we got to the vet the dashboard was lined with rolls of puppy throw up. Weirdly, one of my best childhood memories. My aunt was my hero as a kid. I wanted to be just like her.

This was the song we were singing that day. Could probably use a bit of this post-Covid.






Thanks for taking me back koshari! Time machines.

While we're on time machines, song for my dad. He wasn't a Queen fan, but he always loved this one. I love it too.

Must say i have only really been giving ELO and the Yardbirds fair airplay recently as i have been going back over the 70s back catalogs, there are a lot of bands that were awesome but were somewhat over shadowed by some even more awesome bands of the time, i think ELO and yardbirds fit this category, even The Who were some what over shadowed by the rolling stones and Co of the day.

Jeff Lynne was really a very talented musician, and its like a fusion of the Beatles with some Bee Gees influences later. of course he was a big part of the Traveling Wilburys as well.

which beggers the question where are the great bands of today?

i can see why he saw a clear distinction between Queen (even with Queens real divisive catalog this one sits even further left of center) and this song, for mine it has traces of style that hint to john denver with minute traces of the seekers.

And the trivia fact ?

Just discovered Cheersquad Records on bandcamp. I can see this getting expensive - have already ordered the Chris Wilson Live at the Continental vinyl reissue. The Meanies, Even, and Snout all look like a good chance of coming into some of my money.

Cheersquad Records & Tapes

Cheersquad is the home of Wally 'Meanie' Kempton's musical adventures. Artist management, bookings and the brand new label Cheersquad Records & Tapes!

Also if you're interested in supporting good local jazz, Lion's Share Records, also on bandcamp, has a good catalogue. Mostly Julien Wilson's own stuff but also helps out some of his mates with their releases. "Stock" from last year is really, really good, and I am currently very much digging the John Scurry stuff.

Lionsharecords

Independent Australian Record Label established in 2013 by saxophonist Julien Wilson. Recordings are all available (where possible) in High Definition 24bit audiophile quality versions as well as standard CD quality format.

wonder if he was the influance of ace freehleys face makeup?

i have to say i have experianced the old runnaway hay bale personally, taking one up to the shed i had the rear forks a bit low executed a bit of a sloppy gear change, nekminit said bale was rolling down the hill, all you can really do is stand back and hope like hell it dont take out anything major on the way down the hill, fortunately mine bounced of a few fence posts an came to rest against a thick fencepost at bottom of the drive. quick look round to see nobody saw my stuff up, into reverse down the drive, reload bale and play on,

neighbors were not so fortunate , they had one this season go through the fence and rest in the dam, they still havnt got it out yet.

you might find that is silage? we have both hay and silage. with hay if its rolled tight enough just netting on the outside is enough to preserve it, you then store it end to end to preserve the ends which are accessable to the weather. having said that wouldnt suprice me if it was a bale of silage that took out old mate, its far heavier due to the moisture content.
