Weirdness with T.Rex

T.rex has infected everything. A couple of weeks ago, Mike sends me the Breakfast on Pluto trailer, which makes the little girl inside me shriek because Cillian Murphy (aka Killian Murphy if you've seen Red Eye) runs around in a tress, but it makes the man inside me growl because of the trailer music. Crunchy guitars, sexy violins, men sound like bats' screaching falseto. Children of the Revolution by T.Rex. The music tongues my ear hole and it turns me on. So I go searching for glam rock. The results, like some weird shit by ELO turns my interest flaccid. But T.Rex is still gold. Whoosh! It's the present and I'm reading the Engine and Matt Fraction says that the new Flaming Lips albums sounds like T.Rex. I figure that the album is released and I check out their website. No dice, it's coming out in April. They do tack about the album and said that they were inspired by Devendra Banhart. I check that out, only to find that one of his albums was inspired by T.Rez. Odd how things went full circle.

WOW!!! YOU FINALLY POSTED SOMETHING!!!

Before you badmouth ELO *too* much, their song Mr. Blue Sky is a fucking grade A masterpiece.

Devendra Banhart is also very very good.

I should get some more T. Rex.

I got 20th Century boy by them. It's good, but it's not Children of the Revolution good.
