Marc Bohlin was incredible; I bought that album the day it was released in the states.

My kids prefer Jeepster to Bang a Gong, though.

Electric Warrior in surround-sound is a revelation. Vocals isolated in the front channel. Cool stuff.

i love how they still have the bongo guy in there. i mean - at that point, it was pretty much the marc bolan show, right? was that steve peregrine took or whatever his hippie-ass tolkien-esque name is/was?

When Marc Bolan sang "Ride a White Swan" -he wasn't kidding. He was exactly the right height and proportions to fit onto a large swan.

you can buy this song on Rock Band ("you're not a real band blah blah blah!") and as one of the only 21 year old T Rex fans, I use it to promote an incredible band to all my hipster friends. Not to mention its really farking fun to play.

yeah, being young and liking these bands is tricky. The hiptsers will naturally gravitate to stuff like this because other people in that age group haven't heard of it and it was great music.

The drawback is that no matter what you do you'll be stuck having to hear "electro" forever when you go somewhere with them because they will not adapt to the better music...

/speaks from jaded experiance in doing almost exactly the same thing lol
