Для тех членов клуба, кто не слабо знает английский язык, размещаем любопытный материал "10 причин, почему Мики Финн крут". Теперь вы будете знать, а то даже не догадывались. Все больше по поводу Марка Болана... Но и этот лыком не шит.
10 Reasons Why Mickey Finn Was Cool!
(в сокращении)
1. T-Rex sold about 39 million records, despite never having mass appeal in North America.
2. Finn designed the cover to The Kinks’ Schoolboys In Disgrace album.
3. He brought his groovy style to the bongos and conga on The Soup Dragons’ Hydrophonic in 1995.
4. The way Mickey’s bass drum and cymbals on "Jeepster" punctuated Marc Bolan’s breathy vocals. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go out and buy Electric Warrior. Right now.
5. He was never one to merely sit behind a conventional kit, often using tabla, bongos, clay drums and other percussive instruments to add new layers to the T-Rex sound.
6. On T-Rex’s eponymous album, he is credited with playing "pixiephone."
7. When Mickey joined Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took’s band, they shortened the name from Tyrannosaurus Rex to T-Rex and began eschewing their folky leanings for the glammy sounds they became known for.
8. Long hair, jaunty silk scarves and elephant flares: the man had style.
9. As a member of T-Rex, he was responsible for The Slider. Featuring songs like "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru," two of the finest singles produced in that era.
10. Their only song to make the American chart was "Bang A Gong (Get A Gong)," later covered by Robert Palmer, John Taylor, et al in the Power Station. The cover doesn’t come close to the original — in case you couldn’t tell.
