If You Didn’t Live it This Documentary Might be an Eye Opener About Glam Rock – Marc Bolan – T Rex

This will walk you further down the rabbit hole, looking for that elusive white swan

The fall is not always pretty, actually pretty sad in this case.

This then left an odd question about where the millions of dollars went?

Documentary -"Who Got Marc Bolan´s Millions?"(Pt 1/8), C4, September 2003
He made millions in the Seventies, but where did Marc Bolan´s money go…?

His family couldn’t believe he died with just ten thousand pounds

 

2 B Sides – for the fans – cheap tickets on purpose, a modern day record company antagonist

 

The Bahamas offshore accounts

The kids, settling down and his son.  Was he in charge of his own destiny though?

 

The rumors, and myth, was there a missing will for his son and partner…

No taxes paid, will get you in trouble with Inland Revenue every time, who went after his wife, who had to sue the trust and offshore companies. Many untimely deaths and a possible curse???

Milking a dead man, Milking a dead star

A Journal of Dance in Video

People often wonder if it is safe to dance, and cartoons can help put you at ease

 

when people of short stature down under make you uneasy

All you have to do is ask someone, Let’s Dance

There’s a long evolution of dance though so you’ll need to be prepared to pick a style or get lost in a medley

But then when you are mocked by transformers it must be the best flattery

So where does one begin?

But what if you don’t have the equipment, can you go virtual?

Engaging in too much dance will not harm your political aspirations?

That said you have to be careful not to mix politics with dance or things will just get out of control

Reset

Ah, Shit,

Hit the reset button on my computer with a thumb drive inserted and triggered that virus

If you watch that last one too much it will kill, you but don’t worry, even the dead can dance

 

That’s what happens when you rely on a search engine, here’s a better example of the dancing dead ~ after they dead marry

Or get a conjugal visit in prison

But then they’ll have to hustle off back to their cells

But line dancing is really a punishment, for those people that kill others with music

They haven’t found a chemical yet to correct that type of aggression, but the goal here is not to get people to dance like monkeys

We can surely evolve past that because if we don’t the results might be catastrophic

People will be forced to hide their dancing

 

maybe in some cases that’s not a bad thing, but we have come a long way

even if it starts a little dirty from time to time and uses a frivolous number of horses

We have to remember that there is more to dancing than just shaking your butt

even if they won’t always shoot your legs

You’ll just have to find a way to show off some other part of your body

so that you can keep on moving

Didn’t Know it Then but wish I had ‘A Split-Second – Flesh’

This is a song that I was introduced to visa-vi my wife’s college roomate, who hailed from Rockford.  She I believe was introduced to this by a couple of her friends, including one, Bob, who became her husband. 

Unfortunately, I didn’t know this particular song back when it came out, but it was definitely a song that I glommed onto pretty hard early in the 90’s when I finally discovered it.

This song is one of those great songs to add into any Fantasia viewing btw, especially if you can get it into the fawn, angles, devils section….

Infectious, Danceable but Stupid none the less

I’m sorry but there are just some songs that were just plain stupid.  Some of them even were produced by some of my favorite groups, such as Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus.

Another one that strikes me as fitting this category was Bring Me Edelweiss (mixing Julie andrews via Abba with rap and house music)

Of course the music video was probably the reason why MTV first made the decision to get out of the music video business in the first place with midgets and purple cows and those Ricolah Players before Ricolah was invented.

In the late 80’s probably the best symbol for this was Vanilla Ice, infectious as hell but just stupid….

This was even recognized at the time and probably helped to create this genre.

Then there is the cattle call version of infectious and stupid.  Its one of those songs where you have to be herded (Zapp, move along little doggies) onto the dance floor.  No I’m not talking about the Chicken Dance, I’m talking about The Electric (aka The Electric Slide).

Doctorin’ the Tardis – Doctor Who Music Video – and a Bogus KLF History

One of my favorite 80’s songs made popular in both discos and hockey rinks (real fucking weird mix that) is Doctorin’ the Tardis by the Timelords.

here’s a quick short music video, which features a robot so ridiculously unreal that it would make Will Rodgers blush.

Now, weirdly enough The Timelords reformed as KLF in the late 80’s remixed in the early 90’s with a popular dance hit 3AM eternal which also ‘rocked the discos’ but not so much the hockey rinks.  In both songs, you could almost swear that the group went on one two many acid trips with Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson with a round trip ticket down paranoid lane taking the detour past conspiracy theory and straight into the cul de sac of ancient civilizations that sank in the oceans for $1000.

Here’s the concert version

 

Here’s an obscure version of 3AM

Also from KLF, Last Train to Trancentral 12 inch version

By this time if you are wondering wtf the Justified Ancients of MU are or where they are from, MU is basically a lost continent that sank in the Pacific (not Krakatow, which actually blew up off the face of the earth in volcanic explosion which created a winter around the world as it cover the planet in ash) but a sinking continent.  Basically the Atlantis theory for the Pacific, but the Ancients of MU were basically in opposition to the Illuminati of Atlantis so don’t make the mistake of thinking the two were the same.

Now, if you are wondering how the Ancients of MU escaped a sinking continent, it was basically in a sale boat powered by techno, soul singing and a little bit of rap which the Ancients of MU invented.

 

Now don’t even get these guys started about their angst against The Jams.  Their not ‘kicking out the jams’ as in kicking out some cool tunes, their talking about kicking a political party known as the Jams (but you can think of them as Pre-Civil Rights Democrats if you are looking for an American analogy).

But in this video, you’d swear that these trance/techno types were more akin to a trancy reincarnation of Johnny Rotten.

But then again they also call themselves the Jams, so things get a little in bred with this ancient conspiracy theory stuff.  The truth is they seem to have factions within factions.

 

At the end of the day, who cares they make good music.
