Bitch, I will carpet bomb Ireland with copies of Office Space if you don't spend the five minutes of your day that it'd take for you watch this amazing animation that you would love.

All right then Ori: opinion? Should Lynne have just left it after the band broke up or was he right to resurrect ELO when he was the only original member left? Did it work, for you? What did you think about Across the Universe? And various other questions yet to be asked.

I haven't heard the newer stuff.

But yeah, in theory, I don't really have much of a problem with Jeff Lynne carrying on with the ELO name, considering it was his baby. It's a bit of a jerk move, but it's not like it's a dealbreaker.

You haven't missed much. AtU is not great - few good tracks but other than that, I found it to be a disappointment in general, while Zoom is actually quite good. I heard/had Lynne's solo album Armchair Theatre years ago, and I found it to be a big wet sticky dollop of ****. He did some fine work for Petty, can't be argued. Still, I really feel ELO ended on Balance of Power, and it kind of should stay that way considering they're all gone now. Sort of like McCartney continuing to issue Beatles albums.

Yeah.

So...

Did you watch it?

No

I mean, Office Space jokes aside, you can do whatever you want. I just thought you'd like it.

Btw I'm probably gonna drop my ranking of the ELO albums I've heard later.

I’m gonna do top five songs

No I will, just no time at the moment. I make you that promise. I will.
