Don't Miss Out on the 13th Floor Elevators

Posted over 2 years ago
After a week of running around, I've been catching up on the sitting down stuff that I got yelled at for trying to do back then (which was understandable, considering the circumstances)...I've found myself listening to the 13th Floor Elevators a lot today and, if you're into 60s-era guitar rock (with a little jug-band action thrown in as a garnish) then you'd be all over The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators..."*I'd mentioned them before*":http://mog.com/CrashPryor/blog_post/39328 but failed to write up anything on their stuff as I really do think this is a band that should get a little more dap than they've gotten...In addition to the track in the player, other tunes to check are "Splash 1", "Reverberation (Doubt)" and "Fire Engine"...don't miss 'em, this time...

  2. CrashPryor says ...yeah, I like the effects he gets out of that thing...sounds kind of like a precursor to scratching a second record into a tune's mix at some points...good stuff...
