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.
