So, I went browsing through my album cover art in iTunes (called CoverFlow for the uninitiated) today and noticed something peculiar. It seems that the 70s band T-Rex has totally taken over. Perhaps they made a deal with The Steve, although in exchange for what I can’t even imagine.
As you can see in the picture above, this cover for T-Rex’s (I believe) fifth album with notable tracks “The Wizard” and “The Children of Rarn,” is popping up in CoverFlow where it doesn’t belong. It’s showing up for albums who’s covers cannot be found by iTunes. I have many albums which cannot be found on iTunes (some digitized from vinyl — yeah, I know!) and iTunes insists that they’re all the same T-Rex album.
In the instance in the picture above, the album is something which doesn’t exist. I made the album up myself based on a compilation of internet radio recordings I made from Virgin Radio, broadcasting out of London, UK. Yet, there is the trusty ‘ole T-Rex cover.
Maybe they’re making a resurgence. Are the kids getting back into the T-Rex?
We are the seekers of space! This is very funny and weird! I love T.Rex and it thrills me to think that lots of kids will be getting a white faced and frail Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn for album covers. Who’s been messin’ with the mystic then???
LOL — Nice, Rarn Man. Well met.
