Welcome! - Audiophoria #3 - 3/14/09

Welcome to the Audiophoria blog! Audiophoria is an internet radio show that airs exclusively on SpiritPlants Radio, Saturday evenings at 10pm CST. Each week, Audiophoria picks a different musical theme as a feature. My first show featured new-ish indie rock, and last week's Show #2 was Part 1 of my two part series: 90's Alt. Rock (1990-1995).

This weekend (3/14), LeAnn is bringing you a 1 hour long T. Rex retrospective. Here's what Last.fm has to say regarding T. Rex:

"Initially a psychedelic folk-rock combo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, T.Rex was a primary force in glam rock, thanks to the creative direction of guitarist/vocalist Marc Bolan (born Mark Feld). Bolan created a deliberately trashy form of rock and roll that was proud of its own disposability, which stood in contrast to the low-key whimsical poetry of the earlier duo. T.Rex’s music borrowed the underlying sexuality of early rock & roll, adding dirty, simple grooves and fat distorted guitars, as well as an overarching folky/hippie spirituality that always came through the clearest on ballads."

So if this sounds interesting to any of you or if you're already a closet T. Rex fan, be sure to tune in Saturday evening at 10pm CST!
