I've felt for some time that the music I post on my personal tumblelog is often lost in the mix.
I like to share.
I spent 10 years in the music industry and I've been an avid consumer and collector of music from almost every genre and decade since I was a wee child.
What I post here may be familiar or foreign, old or new. Good music is just good music to me.
You can also find me here, for a more visual representation of my sensibilities.

T-Rex - Life’s A Gas
I’ve been a fan of T-Rex since I shoplifted a video compilation of theirs when I was a teenager. Wait, did I just say that? Anyway, Marc Bolan is a legend, not just because his life was cut way short in a car crash aged 30 in 1977; he worked closely with seminal producer, Tony Visconti and the result was an enduring influence on some of my favourite musos, despite being dismissed as a novelty artist by most critics in his time. The ridiculous sequinned costumes and platform boots probably didn’t help.
Also, he was a folky before he turned into the Glam King of British rock. See above.
It was difficult to choose just one song to post, but I settled on Life’s A Gas because it’s a nice, mellow tune for a lazy Sunday.
