you can't change love with geography
so it occurs to me that, well - i have three favourite artists in the world right now, really. one is neil young, who basically everyone knows, one is nick cave, who is well-known in certain circles, and the last one is tex perkins, who is well-known in certain circles again but these cirlces have always struck me as smaller than the nick cave ones.

so if you've ever wondered "who is this tex perkins fellow and why does this guy have a hardon for him":

first: i know you know i know. i'm sorry, he's just gorgeous.



WARNING: do not have the sound on loud for this next one, it's shitty quality. but THIS WAS AT THE BIG DAY OUT. YOU KNOW, THE ONE I WENT TO. I SAW HIM DO THIS: HOLD THE LINE



here is him performing lucid on rockwiz. it is convenient that this is short and embeds, because the official video has embedding turned off. so suck it, universal, way to make people have to pay for music. or something. ...i don't know what you're gaining off this, guys



and early, rockin' tex perkins (watch out for the hair) - words from a woman to her man



and now, the infomercial for number 1s and number 2s, which features i'm not in love and is awesome.



true facts: the only people who viewed all those videos already knew who tex perkins was. search your feelings, you know this to be true

(BONUS: lyrics to 'i wish i was tex perkins' (which i know, i know, subjunctive. deal)

and thus concludes my sudden entry spam

Truly he is everything a man should be.

I've never seen the clip to I Know You Know I Know before. How have I never seen the clip to I Know You Know I Know before? It's not at all what I would have pictured, but really it's just perfect, isn't it? And I forgot about Lucid. I bloody loved Lucid, man.

I've been meaning to make a Tex appreciation post for ages now. Just had a sudden wave of inspiration to do one in response to this, but bloody universal won't let me embed half the videos I would have used (including Whenever it Snows, which was my first Texposure* and is still one of my favourite songs), so will leave it for now and maybe have another go tomorrow. Because TEEEEEEEEEXX.

*sorry, had to be done.

i know, right? my main texposure (if you use it, i get to) has been dark horses/beasts with a bit of cruel sea, and it's sort of hard to find non-live videos for the songs, so i'm stuck with what i got, and i ended up just linking to the two videos that i wasn't allowed to embed. which... i guess is what they want. i still don't get the logic behind it! (although i did just find an excellent radio-studio version of 'thanks' which i'm going to embed at the end of this comment)

i really need to get into his more collab-y stuff, like tnt or tex don and charlie, i just haven't gotten around to it yet. (god, i'm not even busy enough to justify that sentence being at all credible)

and now, THANKS!
