T.Rex

The timing of this rec might make you think it’s somehow related to the movie Longlegs, but I can assure you that T.Rex has been an obsession of mine for months. This glam-rock act is somehow always exactly what I want to listen to. If you’re unfamiliar, you almost definitely know their largest hit Bang a Gong (Get It On) which is a classic car commercial / needle drop type of cut, but it’s far from their best. I’ve been spinning Electric Warrier non-stop, but writing this rec and reading more about Marc Bolan / T.Rex is making me realize that I really need to give that same love to The Slider. I know what I’m doing this afternoon.

I WANNA BE YOUR DOG - THE STOOGES

Time to get this out of the way! this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greats… led zepp…. pink floyd… uh… the beatles? idk who else to consider…. and im purposefully not talking about the rolling stones BECAUSE this song is very stones inspired- but the big difference (as pointed out by lester bangs) is that while Jagger primps and preens, iggy writhes around and dares you to take a look at what it means to be horny, confused, dirty, no-dream, no-promise, no-skill, no-nothing. the real animus of the end of the fever dream sixties- that mask comes off and you get just a gaping and confused id. Ok those other bands i mention can rock, but i dont think i ever really feel their music in my guts… it’s more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! that’s a cool wall made of bricks! this is like a whole psychosexual unmasking- the hippies preferred making love, but i think everyone really just likes to fuck if you know what i mean! like why did it take someone so long to just come out and sing so messed up / i want you here? Isnt that just the most honest way of expressing yearning…? this has the velvet underground‘s errrr s&m “sexiness” but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. it’s Primal. You just cant beat that riff either. just give it a listen.

RING OF FIRE - CARLENE CARTER

My friend Jack posted this album cover on his IG story... funny because it does look like a Matador buzz band from 2010 cover instead of the authentic 1980 Nashville freak shit it is. June Carter's daughter with acid-house bass singin the Cash-Classic. Sounds like Orange Juice Rip It Up kind of? Bangs

Accepting your dark dark feelings as totally UNDERSTANDABLE and okay

They all come from somewhere and have their reasons for arising and it’s okay to feel them

a note in my notes app i just found from late at night six weeks ago that says the following

Pretentious mouse “I’d gladly brave a trap for the perfect Camembert” “If we want to see a little local colour, I know the perfect hole in the wall” “Well… in a manner of squeaking, yes”
