Today, the electric swagger and veiled seduction of Bolan's boogie is back a huh-huh. That's right patients, Marc Bolan has chained our hearts to our rock ‘n roll stethoscopes and "T.Rextasy" is, again, in full bloom here... causin' the doctors and nursemaids here at the asylum to put dashes of glitter on our rock 'n roll stethoscopes. King of the Asylum Commeth Bolan's rock 'n roll turin' point was...
Yes ~ you'??re absolutely right. The name???s got to go!?? But the bike is a winner. The perfect commuter bike. Weaves through traffic and hits the straights like a Tour de France sprinter on a powder cocktail!?? It may have one of the most stupid names since Marc Bolan decided to call his son Rolan, [...]
Do my ears deceive me, or is this some long lost T. Rex track? Has Rolan Bolan been holding back on a treasure trove of sweet boogie oogie laid down by his late father, the great Marc Bolan, before his death? If it's not T Rex, then it has to be an old dusty groove done by Joe Walsh, or Grand Funk Railroad, right? Wrong, wrong, and wrong. If the id3 tag is to be believed, "If I Get Myself Anywhere,"...
In terms of debut albums, David Vandervelde’s The Moonstation House Band was easily one of the most memorable of 2007. Though he was singularly proclaimed by some to be little more than an entertaining imitation of glam-rock heroes in the vein of Marc Bolan and David Bowie, the actual songwriting presented on the album was [...]
Just about a year ago, I saw David Vandervelde play one of the best shows I witnessed in all of 2007 . He was touring in support of his first album, The Moonstation House Band , a melodic swirling, psychedelic, glamrock gem steeped deep in the influence of artists like Marc Bolan and and David Bowie . For his new one, Waiting For The Sunrise , David softens the focus a little bit an comes up up with...
Stars including DAVID BOWIE and BILL LEGEND have signed a petition against a T-REX tribute group marketing itself as the defunct Seventies band. The impersonating band have called themselves T-Rex, with the subtitle A Celebration of Marc and Mickey, after original T-Rex stars Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn. And now a petition to halt the band has [...]
Legendary rip-roaring rocker Kiyoshiro Imawano — who bears the soul of Otis Redding and the flamboyance of Marc Bolan — hasn't had the best of times over the last few years. The keen cyclist first had his bicycle stolen, which seemed a threat to future Fuji Rock performances as he has been known to pedal up from Tokyo to the festival in distant Niigata Prefecture. Then, in 2006, the former R.C. Succession...
I feel a blast from the past coming on, courtesy of retrograde Mercury. Marc Bolan, lead singer of T.Rex, British glam-rock band from the 1970s. Born 30 September 1947 in Hackney, London, died tragically in a car wreck on 16 September 1977, just before his 30th birthday. It's difficult to visualise that, had he lived, he'd be over 60 now. Below is a dual 12noon chart for (inner ring) the date of Marc's...
For a scruffy foursome out of Chicago, The M's sure keep some esteemed musical company. Barely a review goes by without the mention of such cherished tunesmiths as John Lennon of the Beatles, Ray Davies of The Kinks, Marc Bolan of T Rex, or Damon Albarn of Blur. Believe me, I wouldn't be perpetuating these comparisons if they weren't so spot on. "Don't Be Late," from The M's latest release, Real Close...

São 12 faixas incríveis, que não podem faltar em sua coleção. Confira! Tracks 1. Ray Dorset of Mungo...
It's hard to imagine a meeting between Marc Bolan and Prince. What would the two pint sized wizards talk about? How hard it is to find pants in x-tra small? How easy it is to score with women when your talent far outstrips your shoe size? I guess we’ll never know, but we can listen [...]
Once upon a time, down on a little spread in the West Country, a farmer and his wife decided to stage a music festival. On 19 September 1970, the day after Hendrix died, Marc Bolan rolled up at Worthy Farm in a velvet-covered car to play to a modest crowd of 1,500 long-hairs. The £1 entry fee included as much free milk as you could drink. The farmer, Michael Eavis, hoped to pay off the remainder of...
T. Rex’s “Jeepster” tore up the charts in 1971, when it clawed its way to the number two chart slot. Was it singer Marc Bolan’s guitar skills or the fact that their former record company, Fly Records, caused a scandal by releasing the record without the band’s permission. We may never know, but we’re glad [...]
The ex-Ambershades frontman suggests a Marc Bolan updated for a new era of studio options. Sexed-up vocals swoop over a template that reads punchy electrobeats as the stuff of glam rock. Strong stuff, but its Davey La's future upside that really thrills. Download free MP3 now!
