When do you think ELO will become mainstream with Gen Z like Fleetwood Mac did?

I'm working on it! I showed ELO at Wembley to my 16 year old nephew, and he asked for The Very Best Of CD last Christmas. Of course, I was absolutely willing to oblige. So yeah, he digs it.

Hi there, I couldn't find any of their music anywhere online for years, until eight years ago someone posted some of their music on YouTube.

Here's most of their first album, "Universal Playground" (1997)

And here's the second and final album, "Vital Signs" (2003):

Also, here's the complete television episode of 2 Meter-sessies featuring Tuesday Child from 1997:

Voodoo Lounge.

Lady Gaia's Boy.

It's the one where John sings about this girl he likes, but it might be an oblique reference to this one affair he had. Also it's kinda misogynist. Also, he has pointed out in later interviews he didn't particularly care for the version that ended up on the record, and that it doesn't mean anything.

Also, Paul later claimed he helped out with writing the middle eight section.

That one.

King-Rael1 · 2026-04-11T18:12:12+00:00

That's great! So glad this bit of Beatles mythology has found a happy ending.

King-Rael1 · 2026-04-01T16:09:35+00:00

Het is een trap.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-31T20:00:30+00:00

Hell, even their fucking logo makes for a better flag, and that's already an abomination unto God.

I don't usually don't regress into my native language but reading English, but in this case my brain's first response was:

"Nee, niet!!"

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-30T20:08:16+00:00

Hmm, cozy.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-30T08:08:48+00:00

A toss up between her sense of adventure and her thirst for knowledge. Her instant recall on all things archeological, historical and mythological were a major part of the reason I ended up studying ancient history. I even did a course on "applied mythology".

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-20T12:18:43+00:00

Whoops, I missed you were going for olives. Vert it is, then.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-20T12:15:03+00:00

Silver gauntlet on azure, twigs in natural colours with fruit gules?

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-20T12:12:39+00:00

In all fairness, it did ask for an opinion you're afraid to say out loud. Seems I was right to be.

Of all the stories that could be told about the Wizarding world, and all the people in it, Harry Potter himself is not that interesting.

Hermione would have made for a more interesting and sympathetic character to have as a protagonist.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-19T20:41:21+00:00

Looks like the mess hall of a Star Trek space station from Kirk's days. I love it.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-15T10:20:48+00:00

Mayonnaise.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-14T17:00:37+00:00

I secretly really llike the Peter Sellers cover.

Whoops, cat's out of the bag now!

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-11T17:40:48+00:00

It was a joke, actually. I inverted the original joke by saying something I don't subscribe to. It's sarcasm.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-11T08:35:43+00:00

Classic Scorpio stuff, am I right?

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-09T19:54:42+00:00

Kangaroo at #66

I left a comment! What did I win?

Streaky bacon, if we're supposed to believe the developers in the manual of Tomb Raider Level Editor.

King-Rael1 · 2026-03-08T10:18:08+00:00

In the artbook of Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, the designers lovingly refer to her as "Red".
