@ketanjoshi.co It just occurred to me that the lyrics to the 1970s glam rock song that nobody understood at the time now make perfect sense in the world of AI chatbots.
"Metal guru could it be you're gonna bring my baby to me?
She'll be wild you know, a rock 'n' roll child, oh yeah
Metal guru has it been
Just like a silver-studded saber-toothed dream
I'll be clean you know, pollution machine" -

"Get It On" is a song by English #rock band #TRex, featured on their 1971 album #ElectricWarrior. Written by frontman #MarcBolan, "Get It On" was the second chart-topper for T. Rex on the #UKSinglesChart. In the United States, it was retitled "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" to avoid confusion with a song of the same name by the group #Chase.

That must have been in a time that didn't remember who the rock band T Rex was. RIP #MarcBolan -
“Get It On” was on T. Rex’s 1971 album Electric Warrior, and this compilation T. Rextasy, the band’s biggest hits from 1970-1973. It was renamed “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” for U.S. release since there was already another song named “Get It On.” #trex #marcbolan #glamrock #vinyl

"Catblack the wizard's back
Daubed in doom in his tongue tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek"Tyrannosaurus Rex - Catblack (The Wizard’s Hat) (1969)

T. Rex - Electric Warrior
I have no idea why I've avoided this album for so long. Maybe it was because Bang a Gong (Get it On) was so ubiquitous, and it seemed like it was just offering more of the same.
But, well, no. Yes, it's boogie-glam, with semi-nonsense lyrics, but it's also...kinda...great?
And if you're going to make up for lost time, the Rhino High Fidelity version is great.

V době, kdy byly hranice zadrátované a desky kolovaly po známostech, hrály hlavní roli magnetofonové pásky. Electric Warrior od T. Rex patřil k albům, bez nichž se u nás neobešla žádná párty. Ne kvůli hitům, ale kvůli rytmu, který držel přítomnost pohromadě.
Marc Bolan — viditelný, slyšitelný, těžko přehlédnutelný. 🎸

T. Rex, T. Rex, 1970 on Reprise
Debut album as “T. Rex” for Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn, having previously released as Tyrannosaurus Rex, out on Reprise in 1970. Tony Visconti produced and reportedly added bass and recorder to some tracks.
The electric guitar Bolan holds on the gatefold cover signals the shift into a more rock sound from the folkier early records but also still a fair amount of strings and acoustic stuff here.
My copy is the 2024 VMP Reissue on green (“Jewel of Frost”) 180g vinyl.

Music from the 1970s that remans timeless, no.36
T Rex. Get it On
Marc Bolan's boogie classic is a mash up of the blues, glam rock & a classic rock groove. Its a simple rumbling rhythm arrangement backing Bolan's arch vocals & includes some great burbling sax in the background. This is from the first LP I ever bought (I still have my original copy), Electric Warrior, which is full of great songs & is worth checking out (if you've never heard it).

I've sat with the "new" T. Rex track for 24 hours. OK it's clearly a discarded demo but showed promise. In the right producer's hands it could've been a good un. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSdYwbYEDYM&t=5

I appear to be going through a Marc Bolan and T-Rex phase, which is bringing back a lot of my childhood memories from the 70’s. What a cool looking band they were, but we could really do without the “Popmatch” banner here… -

A lower quality version of this video hit 227K views on YouTube, yet this higher quality version’s lagging miles behind? Something’s seriously wrong here, and this vid definitely deserves a post.
Taken from us way too early, the one and only Marc Bolan (and T-Rex) with their incredibly catchy hit “New York City.” -
