Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Thee, Stranded Horse - "Fiend Over Your Knees" And where does this fall, but putrid from out your drawer, long kept sealed and for good reason. It writhes and wriggles on the floor, moan-buzzing and gnashing, and warning of peril, of the horizon's coming struggle. It seems to bleed milk, or perhaps that's a natural discharge, but with all its little bumps and strangeness, you can't look away. It's beautiful having a stroke, which is still nothing but beautiful. [MySpace] As with a lot of T.Rex's songs, this is about seduction. But all the "baybeh"s and "huh"s and "woo!"s in the world wouldn't make me want to go home with T.Rex, when that rhythm guitar is standing right there. Forget the soloing, the one playing the main riff, yeah, that one, wearing the unassuming Hard Rock Cafe Belfast shirt and basketball shoes. Yeah, I wanna go home with him.

I always had this strange half reluctant attraction to T. Rex, without ever knowing how to explain it. I think I understand it better now. I guess it's always been about the "unassuming Hard Rock Cafe shirt". Thank you for that. Posted by garrincha at March 27, 2007 8:07 AMyou know, i always drew this weird connection between t.rex and devendra banhart. -long lost cousins who both wanted to get "freaky" in opposite meanings of the word. does anyone else hear it in that quivering falsetto? Posted by Dylan at March 27, 2007 12:08 PMThere is a very apparent connection between them if you compare t rex's "My People Were Fair And Had Sky In Their Hair" from 1968 to devendra's work, specially "cripple crow".
