Hearing Cut Copy’s “far away” track on the “In Ghoust Colors” album and comparing it to Electric Light’s Orchetras song “four little diamonds” on their album “Secrect Messages” showed me how got the first got their name….ITS THE SAME CHORUS, notes and sounds even!

I can’t get over this, “Yours Truly, 2095″ sounds like it came out last week! This ten thousand year old Russian guy that I work with loves ELO and I thought it was going to sound like old Pink Floyd or something. I’m banging this track at the club tonight for real!

@ Stafford: wow, very flattered by your high praise! It’s as true in blogdom as anywhere: those who don’t study the past are doomed to forget that Jeff Lynne did everything first. :)

Also, the performance scenes in the “here is the news” video, have definite shades of Hot Chip live performances.

I have to thank you for this post. I find that a lot of blogs that I read seem to have no sense of music history extending beyond 10 years or so. Or maybe they would just be embarrassed to admit ELO is really great and can maintain relevance despite white guy afros. It’s really nice to see someone who, to be a bit gushy, “gets it.” I’m just tired of bloggy types claiming they know everything, but then having no sense of the past. So yeah, enough being pleasantly surprised, keep up the good work.
