Jeff Lynne has recently been talking about the work that went into the song. There’s a fair bit of speculation (60 pages on the SH forum) to say that more than a day’s worth of work.

Two sources say that GH […]

Utterly fascinating – thanks for posting the link @NigelT. I think Now and Then sounds incredible above and hope one day it gets completed/released.

Booyakasha!

Not quite sure where Joni stands on the Islam question, but she seems happy, at least.

Here’s the original demo:

Our Price?! Is that still a thing?

Some friends have run Indiegogo campaigns to fund albums and tours, with gifts like handwritten lyrics, badges, fridge magnets, CD credits, signed CDs and so on. They’ve tied that to Facebook and Twitter appeals. […]

Good read. Ta.

I struggled to take them seriously, what with that balding side parting longhair thing going on and All Around My Hat. But @Twang has shone a little light on their early stuff and I may even move on to the second […]
