I Walked With a Zombie
Monday, February 19th, 2007BrooklynVegan has a cool post about Roky Erickson, the original LSD burnout (well, assuming my calculations are correct… it’s prolly the late Sid Barrett). Roky, a native of Austin, is set to do some live gigs this year. BV also links to some classic 13th Floor Elevators, solo and cover work.
I loved the 13FE, but they did this sound effect thing that was supposed to bring listeners outside of their music (or some such), which really ruined (IMHO) their classic blues-rock. You can hear it in their great “You’re Gonna Miss Me” mp3 linked to on the BV site.
Other site news: I fixed the notifications so that I’ll now know when I have comments to approve. Even if it’s Auz killjoying me making fun of Drew Barrymore’s MUSE typo =P
