Searching for What Is Gone
Song of the Day:
Electric Light Orchestra – Nightrider
We know ELO were probably never cool. Even before they damaged their reputation with the machine-tooled Disco/Pop of their commercial hey-day, they were just not hip. But, we don’t care because we love them anyway. (We definitely prefer the pre-disco days though.) So, today, we are presenting for the listening pleasure of our discerning Imaginary Readers a hidden gem in the Jeff Lynne catalogue. Nightrider is the secret weapon of their pretty fantastic 1975 Face the Music album. It’s dark and mysterious and of course, as it’s a Jeff Lynne song, catchy as hell. Can you be cool enough to dig it? We knew that you could.
