The timing of this rec might make you think itās 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 youāre 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 itās far from their best. Iāve 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 Iām doing this afternoon.

Time to get this out of the way!
this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greatsā¦ led zeppā¦. pink floydā¦ uhā¦ the beatles? idk who else to considerā¦. 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 gutsā¦ itās more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! thatās 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 yearningā¦?
this has the velvet undergroundās errrr s&m āsexinessā but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. itās Primal.
You just cant beat that riff either.
just give it a listen.

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfectās day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that Iāve been quietly plotting for two years and itās completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride š«¶ let's see where it goes
