all riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!!!! well, people, marc season is over, it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!! so many great songs, so many wonderful performances, so many brilliant videos! there were outstanding originals, i think my favourite MIGHT have been RAB's "la la lynda", but they were all just so great i can't really pick "the best", they were ALL the best! indeed i think alan dp has taken over the marc mantle of awesome prog folk song writing, he brought superb marc-style originals. there were fuzz-filled glam floor-fillers, rocking riffs and super solos, tongue-twisters terrifically tamed, every single song had me singing along, i did ALOT of dancing too, linda louden brought us THE sexiest knees ever seen on the seasons, there was percussion a-plenty, ukefoote brought my lyric of the week - THE COSMIC SEA IS LIKE A BUMBLEBEE - in an AMAZING cover of "the slider", which cranked up the fuzz to 11 and beyond, partway through, in super-dramatic style. berni shaved off his goatee and donned sexy man-make-up to continue his life-long labour of love as a full-time marc look-alike, we had headless vids and bird's eye views, geoff shared super cute black-cat pics, and elmann had an amazingly well trained tabby cat do two walk-pasts the camera, wizard's hat off to that. outrageously sexual lyrics and songs were bravely brought with barely a batted eyelid. ralf gave us THE perfect lesson in how-to-bring-marc-on-uke, with a super-iconic song choice in "children of the revolution", fantastic solo-ing, and wow-ed me with wonderful mickey-finn-style percussion on the uke he was playing, mid-song. everyone who brought their fantastic song choices and performances on acoustic ukes proved that one person and his or her uke can totally bring rocking t rex songs beautifully this way. HOW DO I CHOOSE A WINNER??? if i could send everyone a t-shirt confirming that you ALL brought marc on uke, and TOTALLY rocked, i most definitely would. however i must choose one person. i was very tempted to throw up my hands, confess that choosing one song or person out of all this week's rampant wonderfulness is impossible, and pick a name out of a hat, but i am determined to stick to my original plan, and promise, to pick someone myself. and so this week's winner is.................................
TRENT - recovering bassist
trent, you brought me a song i had not heard before, a very early one from marc, "misfit", so, :worship: and thank you for that! you also brought ten, count them, TEN, songs, which i honestly think is as many, if not more, than even i could bring for a season where i can get away with doing all-marc-songs-all-the-time! you brought difficult, challenging and frankly totally outrageous lyrics brilliantly, you "yeah baby"-ed, and, in every single vid, you totally rocked
please PM me your real world address, t-shirt size, and preferred t-shirt colour, and i'll send you your prize asap
thank you
and thank you EVERYONE
a really wonderful week for me, thank you all
