Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The Austin Chronicle stories on Roky seem to indicate that Tommy Hall was his introduction to acid, but I don't think that they rule out the SF connection.

AC: When did you first do LSD, Tommy?

TH: I won't answer that.

AC: How were the Elevators formed?

TH: Tary [Owens] had raved over Roky Erickson as a dynamic singer and asked me to go to the Jade Room with him one night. Clementine and I went with him, and Roky was indeed truly amazing. He was playing with some band called the Spades, and they had even cut a record with the song "You're Gonna Miss Me."

After the show, Tary introduced me to Roky, and we invited him over to our apartment. I told him I wanted to do what Dylan was doing, playing rock music but with serious lyrics. I told him about what I was learning with LSD, and he really became interested. He agreed to join me in forming a new rock group.

Anyway, I don't know or care if the 13th Floor Elevators are generally considered the first psychedelic band. I guess I'd probably pick those phenomenal weirdos The Monks for first. Or The Count Five's "Psychotic Breakdown," which, IIRC, predated the Elevators by a few months.

Oh, and my other round robin has decided to circumvent the bottlenecks by just exchanging the remaining discs with someone on the opposite side of the circle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think a new exchange format would be cool.

Wow, what a day for music!

Emmett's birthday, September 23, is also shared with Ray Charles, John Coltrane and Bruce Springsteen. I'm thinking September is a good month for music.

Whoa. It's enough to get you leaning towards astrology.
