Title: 20th Century Boy
Artist: T.Rex

I'm pretty sure this was either lip-synced or dubbed, because the soundtrack is pretty obviously the studio recording. But still a great song by the first great Glam star. This was apparently broadcast on French TV in 1971.

Yeah, TT, you're totally sexy in a pants-up-by-your-moobs (man boobs) bowling pin sort of way.

I missed the LNMC last night ... I got comfortable and closed my eyes around 8:45 pm and the next thing I knew it was 6:00 am this morning ...

Leon Redbone music is always unusual and entertaining. Love the bloodstains in When You Wish Upon A Star. Thanks for the cool tunes.

Last night was no different; I’m always paddling against the currant!

“When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.”

Henry David Thoreau

Music is so human and appeals to our spiritual mysterious selves.

Music deeply touches everyone in some way. It is a beauty of life to be treasured.

The Jules dude couldn't make it past this cover. He's actually one of the Donnie Darko producer's sons. You know, one of those.

Who among us doesn't feel this way? I'm in my early thirties and just wonder.......

Songs from the past that I love and haven't heard in years.

It's always a voyage of (re)discovery at C&L and it feels fine.
