Commercials

Just saw a new NFL tv commercial with Mr. Blue Sky being used as the background music. I find it amazing that most people don't even know who it is. That song has got to be the most used in commercials and movies.

Some of my ELO most prized possessions

I was lucky enough to find the traveling Wilbury book on sale 2 years ago. As for the Wembley book I was able to find it at a good price on eBay one day :)

graphic design based on “Send It”

Made this for a typography class a while back. The prompt was to use the lyrics as part of the design to visualize a song you like. I was really into Balance of Power around then so I chose “Send It”. It’s upbeat & poppy, yet dreamy & futuristic and so this was my take!

Jeff Actively Working on New Album!

In a very recent interview, comedian Jasper Carrott mentioned seeing Jeff Lynne back in November, and that he "was talking about bringing out a new album so we will wait and see."

I feel like it's been a few years now since we heard official word of Jeff working on a new album, so this is encouraging to hear! It's good to know his health scare last year didn't shake his love of writing and producing.

ELO on NFL ad

Just saw an ad for NFL on CBS featuring Mr. Blue Sky! Didn't the NFL use Fire On High in their advertisement for Monday Night NFL in the 1970's? That would make about 50 years of ELO and NFL, if so!

Favourite Melancholy Song?

It's hard to narrow down for me, but some of ELO's earlier stuff hits the feelings so hard. Not always outright sad music by any means, even if the subject of the song is sad, but more melancholy. My favourites like this are:

  1. Mister Kingdom

  2. Momma

  3. Bluebird

  4. One Summer Dream

I know One Summer Dream is a bit later in history compared to the others, but I had to honourably mention it. It's beautiful but melancholic at the same time.

Got this tattoo to commemorate an album that made a huge impression on me — Time.

Done by @glossy_future.

This was the first ELO album I heard from start to finish, and wow was I floored. The beautifully written melancholic lyrics about existential dread combined with a fascination for sci-fi, which I believe I share with the man Jeff Lynne himself, really touched me.

Furthermore, the design is cool as heck, I've always been insanely fascinated by space! We did some artistic liberties, but I hope it's still recognisable as the Time album to ELO fans 😊 next I'll get the spaceship! ✨
