Intro to ELO-L

Welcome to ELO Labefactation!

I'm your host and willing participant, Aaron. I'm sure you have many questions about this website. Well, let me help you out a bit with the:

PAQ
Possibly Asked Questions

1. What exactly is ELO Labefactation?
-ELO Labefactation is a website where my brother and I will be participating in our own music and social experiment. Each day I will randomly choose a song by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). We will then both listen to the song, and then each write a short response based on how we feel about the song. It can be funny, sad, interesting, a story, a critique, whatever. This goes on until we have gone through every ELO song I have, one song a day, day by day.

2. How many ELO songs DO you have exactly?
-Thanks to the wonderful Internet, I pretty much have their entire discography! I have 13 albums with a total of 142 songs. Hooray!

3. So...you must really like ELO, huh?
-No idea! I've only listened to 2 of their songs....I'm actually hoping that I DON'T like them. That will make this experiment all the more entertaining for the audience.

4. How'd you get your brother to commit to this?
-I kinda tricked him. I told him I was going to do something fun and made him promise to stick to it. We're in this together, for better or for worse. Actually, at the time of writing, I haven't told him what exactly this is yet.

5. What's the point of this?
-It was a spur of the moment idea. I just wanted to do it. There really is no point. Maybe we'll find that out as we go.

6. This website is stupid and your ideas make no sense.
-That's not a question

7. This website is stupid and your ideas make no sense, correct?
-Yeah I guess.

8. Labefactation?
-Rare deterioration; weakening
(C17: from Late Latin labefactio, from Latin labefacere shake, from labi to fall + facere to make)

As in, "As Ethan and Aaron continued to listen to ELO day after day, there was a labefactation of their will to live."


ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS!


This section just for Ethan
But you can read it if you want, you voyeur you.

Well Ethan, there you go. You up for it? I'll e-mail you the song every day and you can update this blog as you want. Here are some rules.

-I choose the song using itunes shuffle and e-mail it to you.
-If you happen to finish before I do, feel free to start the days blog.
-You must update within 24 hours of receiving the song (or for me, first listening to the song)
-You must update on the current song before listening to the next one (Which shouldn't be a problem considering the previous rule.
-Don't deface the site. Help me help you. Don't delete anything I write, and vice versa.
-You still have control over this site though. Have fun, just don't screw it up.
-And don't forget to punch out!

Yippie...
-Love Ethan.
