WHERE: Birmingham, England

WHY:

One of my favorite songs ever. I love the melody of this song and I love the lyrics.  Bummed about not being able to call America? I experience that every time I tour outside of the US! ELO is one of my favorite bands at the moment, I can not stop listening to this song in particular, but I love all their jams. (Bethany)

    I’ve always loved ELO’s beautifully layered harmonies and liberal use of the synth. Nice pick.

    Ladies and Gentleman, we have pleased the Baboon, I think that is a first. There’s a party at TITB HQ tonight! ;-)
