On the turntable

Two great ones today. In the car today The Current played their My Three Songs segment at noon and the winning entry played Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, A Day In The Life by, um, some band, and Everyone's a VIP to Someone by The Go! Team. I was pretty blown away by VIP - I was sure it was Ennio Morricone.

Next up is Bluebird Is Dead by ELO, from On The Third Day. The original is standard issue Beatles-Lite, but on a Jeff Lynne tribute album Todd Rundgren stripped it down and rebuilt it into a psychedelic ice sculpture extravaganza. Unfortunately the clip doesn't really do it justice. Plus it helps if you like Todd.
