A bunny girl on a flying sword and Twilight? I think not. I love ELO, but I don’t like anime. A bunny girl on a flying sword and Twilight? I think not.

A better one is the Greatest Hits CD. They were at their tops in the late 70's--I felt like they really went downhill in the 80's with the Xanadu stuff (soory!) The first nine songs are awesome. Telephone Line will always be my favorite and boy, does it take me back to being 13 years old. Also love Mr Blue Sky, Rockaria, Turn to Stone, and Can't Get It Out of My Head. ELO opened their concert at Cleveland Stadium with a spaceship all lit up on the field. Coolness. I love ELO too–but the second half of that “Essential ELO” CD, not so much.

I've seen few official video accompaniments for ELO songs, but the second clip so closely approximates what I see in my head when I listen to this band that it's scary. Many thanks for this.

And Xanadu? One of my most favorite stories to tell people of my wife, Andrea, was when we were in the early years of dating and she scared the beheezus out of me when I put on that soundtrack (vinyl, natch) for funsies and she SANG EVERY SINGLE WORD off that album. I sat there stunned. I knew right then and there we were made for each other. (I didn't even have to tell her that I had the 8-track when it first came out.) About the Don Bluth animated segment of the film: I remember thinking when I first saw the movie how more lively and likable (and alive) Olivia and her partner were animated than they were as human beings.

My favorite ELO is "Time", most of "Secret Messages" and the tracks from "Xanadu"...I'm sure ELO purists think I'm a fool, but hey. "Xanadu" and "Time" both hit at that marvelous moment in adolescence when things cease to be just music and start "speaking" to you, and both meant a lot to me at that time. I remember laughing at the line "with its ivory towers and its plastic flowers, I wish I was back in 1981"..."what idiot would want to be here?!" I asked myself at the time. Now I'd be more than happy to spend some time there again. I need to direct my longtime friend and ELO maniac Eric (http://capsuper.livejournal.com) to these.

Wow indeed. As a proud ELO fan, I can only say thank you for posting that Daicon IV clip. Wow indeed.
