Someone cannot just live off
cinema only. There has to be other hobbies, and there are plenty of areas where
the term "Abstract" appears quite frequently especially in music. Its
fascinated me, through podcasts, blogs and interacting with people, how individuals can be cold to "difficult" cinema yet it is easier to for many to accept
and love the more unconventional sounds and genres of music, to the point
they can even become Top 10 songs and albums. It can''t be denied music is more universal, and it
feels like even the membrane between the mainstream and the experimental is very,
very thin, vast sub-genres to trawl through and enough musicians who could fill an entire asylum band on offer in your local media store. It feels apt to indulge in a track a week, and the first perfectly
encapsulates the above view, a musician my own mother grew up loving but
fitting the site at the same time:
Even as the figurehead of T. Rex, a band that I have fallen in
love with as my mother and many in the seventies did, Marc Bolan in his brief tenure in life was magnificently odd in his
music, where even hit number 1 and 2 songs in Britain like Ride A White Swan are lyrically and musically unconventional as you hum along with them. The following above, while not directly connected to T. Rex, is unbelievably catchy even with
breaking glass as a percussion instrument.
