Marc

Advantages: Great for Bolan fans
Disadvantages: none

...From his early days as Marc Feld to his name change to Marc Bolan he had dreamt of being the Superstar he eventually climbed to be, almost since he left the womb. From John's Children ( his first band ) to Tyrannosaurus Rex in the late sixties, he slumbered with the elves and danced with legendary creatures on camomile lawns. He saw his destiny on a silver cloud and sliver clouds don't lie. He was by no means your contemporary Rock Star, he almost lived in the fantasy worlds he had read about in the early years, fixated on dreams and things that couldn't be, but then don't we all a little. He certainly didn't lack in the ego stakes either, but that can be said for pretty much most Rock Stars. This album takes you on Marc's Trip from the soft acoustics of Tyrannosaurus Rex to the much more raunchy electronic tones of T.Rex, from 1969 to...

Review of Legend Lives, The - Marc Bolan

Thanx Marc

Advantages: Seventies glam
Disadvantages: none

...From the London underground of the mid to late sixties there were rumbles of a new star, a new people's hero a new superstar. He had risen in popularity the hard way but at the beginning of the Seventies Marc Bolan had his first commercial hit and glam rock was born. With his pink Bolero and glittered eyes he took the Seventies to new heights along with groups like Sweet, Mud and Slade. His elfish charm and cockney wit were to make him one of the biggest stars since the Beatles. The music papers of the time hailed him as the new king The Wizard of Notting Hill, not since the hey day of the Beatles had such a mania been seen in Britain. Glam Rock was here and T.Rexstasy was leading the way. With his group T.Rex Marc was to have a succession of number one hits and many top ten hits. His youthful exuberance had the teenage girls...

Review of Tanx - Marc Bolan/T. Rex

It's Not Marc's - It's MINE

Advantages: Gorgeous, fresh, sensual smell
Disadvantages: None

...Most fashion designers these days seem to have their own frgrance. It's the perfect complement to over-priced shoes, bags and trouser suits, don't you know? Marc Jacobs is no exception. For those of you who aren't in the know, Marc Jacobs is a popular New York designer, who set up his first collection in 1986. Since then, he appears to have gone from strength to strength and now has a chain od designer stores and boutiques, a full range of both mens and ladies wear and popular fragrances to go with each. I say popular, but I wouldn't blame you if you'd never heard of him or it. I certainly hadn't. My first experience of Marc Jacobs was whilst talking to somebody in a bar. Every time I lent forward to speak to him I silently - and then openly - remarked on how gorgeous he smelt. Sadly, I was a little pished, so when he said it was by...

Review of Marc Jacobs Eau De Toilette

Marc Anthony - The reigning king of salsa

Advantages: It's Fantastic and timeless
Disadvantages: None!

...Marc Anthony. Who is he, you may well ask? Well, in my opinion he is a genius song writer and an incredibly talented and heart-felt singer: a man that puts his whole being into every word he sings. Marc Anthony is a 32 year old American Latino, born and raised in Spanish Harlem. Although he has had a huge following in Latin countries since the early 90's, he only received international acclaim in the English speaking world after the release of this album, in September 1999. The success of the album was kick-started by his huge hit - 'I need to know' and the album subsequently sold a staggering 2 million copies in the US alone. Marc is a talented individual, not only does he sing the songs, but he has also co-written 10 of the tracks. Such is his popularity, a leading Puerto Rican newspaper hailed Anthony as 'A prophet in his native...

Review of Mended - Marc Anthony

MARC ALMOND : STARDOM ROAD

Advantages: Each song is a gem
Disadvantages: None, except maybe next time he could do a double-cd in this style!

...Welcome back Marc - this album is absolutely THE BEST. Each song is sung in Marc's unique style, with guest appearances from Jools Holland, Antony Hegarty and Sarah Cracknell. Brilliant versions of Strangers in the Night and Dream Lover. Recommended to all fans of Marc. Not one bad song on the CD - quickly became one of my favourites. A1 for Marc! One of those CDs where after listening to it a few times you get to know the words and you quickly find yourself singing along. Absolutely spine tingling album - I saw him live in Bristol when this CD came out, and each time I listen to it it takes me back to that night. Absolutely recommended to everyone. I dare anyone who buys this CD not to like it....

Review of Stardom Road - Marc Almond

RIP Marc-Vivien Foe

Advantages: A player who was at the top of his game
Disadvantages: A career and life cut short in such tragic circumstances

...Football is today coming to terms with the shocking news that Cameroon international Marc-Vivien Foe collapsed during a match yesterday and died shortly afterwards. The 28-year-old, midfielder will be remembered in England for his spells at West Ham in 1999 and Manchester City last season. Foe was seen to collapse in the centre circle with less than twenty minutes to go of the Cameroon?s Confederations Cup semi-final match with Columbia. He was treated on the pitch in Lyon, France before being carried off to the stadiums medical centre where further treatment and attempts at resuscitating him were unsuccessful and he died around forty-five minutes later. Although medics have said it?s too early to determine the cause of death it has been suggested that it was likely to beat a heart attack. Tributes have been pouring in from...

Review of Marc-Vivien Foe

Nuyorican - Marc Anthony

Advantages: Excellent voice
Disadvantages: Some songs too slow. Married to J-Lo!!

...This album came out in 1999, I bought it in 2000, after hearing I need to know, whilst on holiday in Turkey, (a vain attempt to keep my holiday memories alive!). Marc Anthony is a Puerto Rican New Yorker, a Nuyorican, as they have decided to call themselves. He has been around for some years, I believe this is his first English language album, but don't quote me on that. He has starred in a few films, one of which being 'Sneakers', if any of you remeber it, I think it was about computer hackers? It is the way his voice brakes in the middle of a note that gives it such sincerity and attracted me to buy this album. You just know that whoever he is singing these songs to is definitely a lucky lady. Well, he's singing them to Jennifer Lopez now isn't he? Who would have guessed back then, not I, that's for sure! Track 1: When I...

Review of Marc Anthony - Marc Anthony

Life is indeed a Gas

Advantages: It's MARC
Disadvantages: Some slight quality issues, which are really insignificant

...Generally regarded as the father of glam rock Marc Bolan?s career although not totally dissipated was indeed in a slight decline towards the end of the 70?s. It was perhaps once again starting to incline with the release of ?Dandy in the Underworld? on which I think he has shown his true potential as a musician. It was shortly after this release that he was given an afternoon slot on ITV with a music show called simply MARC. It was quite a simple formula where Marc performed some of his best known and some of his lesser-known work. Each week he would have along an invited guest, with the likes of Stephanie de Sykes getting a little TV boost. Other guest included David Bowie, Generation X and The Boomtown Rats. Before the final show was released the tragic accident that was to claim his life took place. This DVD is...

Review of Marc (DVD)

We still Boogie Marc

Advantages: Bolan at his best
Disadvantages: None if your a T.Rex fan

...I have been a Marc Bolan fan for longer than I care to remember. My son is named Marc after him. I probably even started writing poetry because of him. ( I've had a few published so I think I'm qualified to talk about lyrics.) I still regularly play his Albums and this is one of my favourites. the tracks on this Album are as folows :- Get It On Beltane Walk The King of the Mountain Cometh Jewel Born to be My Unicorn Dove Woodland Rock Ride a White Swan Raw Ramp Jeepster Fist Heart Mighty Dawn Dart By the Light of the Magical Moon Summertime Blues Hot Love From the raunchiness of Get it On to the meloncholic melodies Of first heart Mighty Dawn Dart and the Rocky overtones of Summertime Blues this Album takes me on an emotional trip from which I'm in no particular hurry to return. After listening I'm left...
