El Guevo

I wanted to say 5 sorrys.

I agree with everything that has been said!

I agree, Tomato Express. It's an exceptional album.

I really liked this review, even though I don’t agree with your judgment on Isolation, which I believe is anything but modest. P.S. the therapy that Janov recommended to Lennon was primal scream therapy, a scream that can actually be heard in Mother. Moreover, from this story, Bobby Gillespie found the name for his group later: Primal Scream.

Both groups are fundamental and innovative, born in different parts of the United States. The first ones in Austin were influenced by folk, country, primordial rock'n'roll, Bob Dylan, and the psychedelic concepts of writer and poet John St. Powell (who is also the author of Kingdom Of Heaven, Monkey Island, and You Don't Know). Powell transformed thoughts and musical influences into the so-called "psychedelic sounds," a term that was being used for the first time in the musical world! Different sounds, however, for the equally legendary Velvet Underground (the ones from the first two albums), and I strongly believe there are better adjectives to define their music, one of which is suggested by their name: "Underground sounds." I am convinced that psychedelia never touched the music of the Velvet Underground, and even though the influences of these two bands were quite similar—especially the influence of Dylan—they went down two completely different paths, though not opposite. When one thinks of psychedelia, one envisions a kaleidoscope of colors, as can be seen from the cover of the 13th Floor Elevators, while the Velvet Underground "sang" and "played" in black and white. Instead of narrating dreams, magic, or realities of parallel dimensions or déjà vu (typical elements of psychedelic music), they told the harshness of street life. Musically, the 13th Floor Elevators drew heavily from the great American musical tradition, while the Velvet Underground sought inspiration from beyond the ocean; in their music, one can simultaneously breathe in the charm of old Europe and the morbid and blinding allure of New York.

Anyway, what interests me is talking about music and not these "points," so I bring the topic back to its origin, that is, the music of Roky Erickson. Right now, there is a "strong" rediscovery of his work; in fact, in addition to this album, Gremlins Have Pictures has also been reissued, and the excellent anthology I Have Always Been Here Before has been released (a beautiful song taken from Gremlins) which traces all the key stages of his career, from the Spades (his first group) to All May Do Is My Rhyme, passing through the masterpieces of the 13th Floor Elevators and the cult records recorded with the Aliens... for those who have difficulty finding his albums, this anthology could be a great opportunity to discover one of the fundamental authors of rock.

No, look, you're confusing me with someone else. I didn't call anyone homosexual, but what are you reading? And the idiot comment was directed at the remark, not at you. Then you made me angry, and that's when I said you're an idiot, but only after you insulted me! Come on, enough; it's pointless to continue!
