HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.  This was quite a quiet year.  With the exception of a new ELO DVD and a few Rossif Sutherland tracks, there's not been much to discuss this year.  Hopefully, that will change with the new year.

Anyway, have a safe and enjoyable holiday.  See you in 2011!

CONCERT FOR GEORGE

Musictap.com is reporting that Concert For George is coming to Blu-Ray on February 22, 2011.  Well, it was shot in high-def...

BLUE LIPS

Credit to Nicolas at ELO Discovery for catching this one first.  Regina Spektor's new DVD Live in London has a great little surprise.  An instrumental mix of the Jeff Lynne-produced Blue Lips plays over the closing credits...

This is the kind of stuff that turns my crank and re-affirms everything I've always loved about this song.  So original and so well done.  This DVD has been on my shopping list, but I just finished a big move (for a new job) and haven't had the chance to settle in yet.

Anyway, the track was slowed down a bit perhaps for effect.  Except for the short edit in the beginning, the whole track is there.  Awesome.  You can get this on DVD or Blu-Ray with a concert CD.
