I've been really appreciating them a lot more lately ever since I put on their debut last week.I went on youtube and found this cool doc about them and I thought more people would be interested to see it.
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCSZTU0LXW4 Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmJGtyqa1es Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c_Xk2YhDGs Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpp0JY9JBK4 Easter Everywhere is their best album and a stone cold psychedelic classic. I especially love the trippy version of dylan's "its all over now baby blue" on the record.Its rumored Dylan considers it his favorite rendition.Either way its one of the best dylan covers I've ever heard Discuss this greatly underrated psychedelic band and their electric jug

Documentary about rock n roll pioneer Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson, whose band the 13th Floor Elevators coined the term "psychedelic rock" in the 60's. Struggling with drug abuse and schizophrenia, he spent 3 years in Rusk State Hospital after pleading insanity on marijuana charges. His new band, Roky Erickson and the Aliens managed to stay vital during the 70's with a darker and more aggressive rock sound. After losing interest in music, he became a recluse, living in poverty and filth. The movie details the rise and fall of Roky Erickson and his brothers struggle to get Rokys life back on track. ETT... TVA... TRE! This is why I like blogging; you can post absolutely dire stuff for ages, get negative comments and people hating your take on some random band or other, and then one day: BOOM. You post some DYNAMITE shit like this and suddenly you're back in favour again, TF is hooking you up, random recordlabels from Tokyo is sending you albums to upload, and the MySpace site is buzzing with spam. What a summer hey? Today it is raining and I just woke up. http://only-in-it-for-the-music.blogspot.com/ |
