ELO - back to the 70s!

Went to see the film 'Paul' the other week - being a bit of a Sci-fi nerd I really enjoyed it. One of the music tracks used was 'All over the world' by the Electric Light Orchestra. It rekindled my interest in ELO so I searched out my CDs and loaded up my ipod.

In the late 70's I bought a copy of 'Out of the blue' - blue vinyl, double album import (those were the days when import albums had cuts in the album sleeve) I used to play it regularly and sing along . One of my mega favourites was 'Mr Blue Sky'

Oldies but goodies..

Got nostalgic seeing as I'm fast approaching 50. My mother loved music and when I was young we had a collection of old 78s, 7" singles and LPs. I loved listening to them so I decided to see if I could find some downloads on Amazon. I managed to find a few of my Mother's oldies plus some that I loved when I was younger.

My Boy Lollipop by Millie was one of my favourites

John Lennon

What can I say -it's been 30 years since John Lennon was murdered. I often wonder what songs he would have written had he still been alive.

Rumer

I was going to comment on the album by Rumer - 'Seasons of my soul' - but my ipod is playing up again so it'll have to wait

John Lennon 9th Oct 1940 - 8th Dec 1980

Today would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday and I suppose you have to wonder what he would be like if he were alive today.

My second-hand usb turntable has arrived so now I just need the time to start copying some vinyl to CD, better buy some record cleaner as well, the records are pretty dusty.

My iPod isn't working at the moment - some how I managed to break the little 'lock' button when I was sitting on the bus one morning. I'll have to get it fixed, just a matter of getting round to it (and finding out how much it's going to cost)

I was slowly adding some of my favourite music but will have to hang on for now.

I still have some vinyl albums and singles (and cassettes), some I just can't bare to let go of, others I need to transfer to CD as they're never likely to be issued on CD. I've bought a USB turnatble from eBay - fingers crossed it turns up safely and more fingers crossed that it actually does the job!

Anyway, a little bit of 80s indie music - Modern Eon - still have the vinyl album but as yet no turntable.
