Listen to Mr. Blue Sky
Mr. Blue Sky was the first ELO song I was introduced to. After hearing Out of the Blue, I find that it's still my favourite song and I need to give the album another listen. I'm sure the charm was there, I just had company over and focusing on the music was kind of hard. I don't like giving an album a listen when it's just background music. Tomorrow is Friday and the last day of ELO week. Discovery looks promising, I'm sure it won't bring me down (haha lame I know).

A New World Record by Electric Light Orchestra
Listen to Telephone Line
I'm really appreciating the fact that I have yet to be disappointed by Electric Light Orchestra. Mind you, they have over ten albums over the span of thirty years so - maybe somewhere along the road I might stumble across one I don't like. Here's hoping I haven't jinxed myself! A New World Record is yet another great album by them. When listening to the album, I had to stop to put Telephone Line on repeat. The song Shangri-La was the perfect end to the album. It's going to be a good week - I'm especially excited for tomorrow and Friday's albums!

Face the Music by Electric Light Orchestra
Listen to Strange Magic
Day two of Electric Light Orchestra week and I'm still loving what I'm hearing. I put the album on a couple of times and I have to say that Strange Music is now one of my favourite ELO songs. As with Eldorado, the entire album was entertaining to listen to. To be honest, I don't think any of their albums I listen to this week will disappoint me. Unfortunately, that means shorter review blurbs from me! If you liked Strange Magic, check out ELO's 1975 album Face the Music.

Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra
Listen to Eldorado Overture-Can't Get It Out Of My Head
It's Electric Light Orchestra week! Well for me at least. I will be listening to ELO albums till Friday, starting with Eldorado. I have The Angry Beard to thank for introducing me to ELO with their song Mr. Blue Sky (on Out of the Blue which I'll cover Thursday). Yesterday we were both at Jack Astor's and Don't Bring Me Down (on Discovery which I'll cover Friday) was playing. Upon discovering the artist, I decided that it was time to get into ELO. I listened to Eldorado a couple of times. Overall, the album was a good listen, a little slow at some parts (the pace was right, just a little too slow for me at the time). I'm really curious to hear what I'm going to come across the next four albums and which will be my favourite. Stay tuned!

Hail to the Thief by Radiohead
Listen to Sail to the Moon
To be honest, I had listened to Hail to the Thief many years back. Unfortunately, I couldn't stand the album at all. With my newfound love with a few songs on the album, I decided to give the Hail to the Thief another chance. To my dismay, those few songs are still the only ones I really care for (although Wolf at the Door isn't too bad). I absolutely adore Radiohead. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of their albums (Okay maybe not so much for Pablo Honey), but Hail to the Thief is still my least favourite. Thom Yorke's The Eraser is on the to do list.

Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin
Listen to The Feel Good Drag
I caught the last minute of The Feel Good Drag at a Rogers Video. I quickly wrote down "feel good drag" on my phone before I forgot the title and was able to enjoy that song to the fullest on youtube at home. I had forgotten about the song until recently and decided to check out the entire album. If you enjoyed The Feel Good Drag, it might be worth checking out Never Take Friendship Personal considering it's pretty decent overall. I think you might agree with me that The Feel Good Drag is the best track on the album.

I'm a Mountain by Sarah Harmer
Listen to Oleander
I have to admit, I haven't listened to much folk/rock music. To be honest, I first thought I was listening to country when I put on Sarah Harmer's I'm a Mountain. Her sweet voice and gentle melodies make this album really enjoyable to relax to. While no songs in particular really stand out for me, the overall album was nice to listen to and I'll be sure to pop it on again when I want to take it easy. Also, hooray for Canadian music! Sarah Harmer is from Burlington and was also a member of the Toronto band The Saddletramps.
