An eBay Transistor haul! + some questions

I could never vibe with track 2 "cosmic dancer". Something about the way he pronounces it "doncing" just irritates me. And he says it a lot. I donce myself right to the skip button.

I could never rock bell bottoms like that even "back in the day". Always too short and roly poly.....

So funny story that just happened this week....I've lost so much weight I needed some new jeans. I'm in a 30x30 "slim fit" these days.
I tried some on from Amazon and my wife gave me the stink eye. I had to go get a second opinion from my kids to see if it looked like I was a "dad trying to look hipster wearing skinny jeans"....heh. They both gave me the thumbs up. Apparently, there are even skinnier jeans than the skinny jeans I got......

Hang on, I gotta go dig through some old photos for skinny jeans

I thought "everybody" knew about T-Rex

 

[steviejr92]

Nope. Ive heard of them but i never explored their music.

EDIT: Listening to that album though i realized i know much more of their music than i realized...

Im really digging Bang A Gong. I feel I've heard it before. I feel a little embarrassed saying that lol

You may know the Power Station version--it was the one that was famous in the 80s, and more popular than the original.

Not my favorite T. Rex album, but still a masterpiece throughout. Bolan was an absolute treasure. Gone too soon

In the UK and the Commonwealth, yes, but not so much in the USA, where they're considered a one-hit wonder.
