If you love "Electric Warrior" and "Slider" then you'll like like "Tanx" a lot!! For me, Marc Bolan has one of the greatest rock voices of the time. I don't know what he was putting in his tea between 1971-1973, peppermint jasmine awesome , perhaps? "Tanx" picks up right where "Slider" left off and even broadens the band's sound adding horns and back up singers throughout the record. This album also serves as a perfect self confidence booster when you get ready to go out on a Friday Night, but don't get too sexy! In [...]
Not to make too much of this, but it's an awful lot of fun watching David Vandervelde (myspace) play guitar.Ever see that Ringo Starr-directed T. Rex concert film? When Marc Bolan - who'
Friday evening, while listening to T. Rex's "Jeepster" on repeat, something came up about Blur's thinly veiled nod to the tune on the track "I'm Just A Killer For Your Love" off their 1997 self-titled album. Sounded like a fine idea for a post, what with the 2003 reissue of T. Rex's Electric Warrior complete with [...]

I'm not sure why a modern day 18-year old would fantasize in the form of the video for Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," but it certainly made for nice promos for last night's episode of The O.C. Ryan is falling for Taylor, and visualizes her all Tawny Kitaen-like in his mind , but instead of to Whitesnake, the sequences are to the song "Hot Girls in Good Moods" by Butch Walker (which itself is an homage to T. Rex's "20th Century Boy." ) [...]
T. Rex "Raw Ramp" Before I'd heard "Raw Ramp," it'd been described to me-fondly-as "like the most misogynistic song ever." It might've been up there at the time it was released as a b-side to "Get It On" in '71, but I'll lazily vote for "Bitches Ain't Shit" as usurping that title in the meantime. (Maybe that one was just plain misanthropic?) So yeah, glam godfather Marc Bolan is mixing up his come-ons ("baby I'm beggin' off ya please") with his euphimistic/gynecological putdowns ("you think you're a champ/but, girl, you ain't [...]
(alternate title: Electric Warrior in Valhalla ) It was on this day in 1977 that former T. Rex frontman and glam rock pioneer Marc Bolan died in a car crash, two weeks short of his thirtieth birthday. While he may not have had fellow glammer David Bowie’s flair for musical innovation and experimentation, Bolan’s pulsating brand of hard rock boogie epitomized the gorgeous excess associated with the genre. He was a major influence on the punk and new wave movements. In an interview for The Big Takeover a few years back, Captain Sensible [...]
