Mark Lanegan - Borracho
The despair that seeps from this song always strikes me. With every listen

Here comes the devil, prowl around
One whiskey for every ghost
And I'm sorry for what I've done
'Cause it's me who knows what it cost
Oh, oh
It breaks and it breathes
And it tears you apart
It bites and it bleeds
And this desert turns to ocean over me
Here come the devil, prowl around
One whiskey for every ghost
And I'm sorry for what I said
I said I just don't care anymore
Oh, oh

Banker and a Liar

Aside from Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and superb with this other magnificent creation of his.

With Too Much Guitar, you think, "Okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound," and instead, this damned bastard does what?! He lets a half-decade pass and throws you a wonderful album, a "moody & melancholic" - his words - side of the Oblivians sound. You can't pin it down... it takes you back to adolescence with sounds full of sixties moods, R&B, soul, but also steeped in that traditional American sound...
And with that bastard voice, winking... in spite of the 17 octaves of the "great singer" of which I couldn't care less… that animates this splendid bastard...

AlbumONE... if you haven't figured it out yet... But the beauty is that this guy who makes an album like this, putting together Beatles, Van Morrison, Arthur Lee, Graham Parker, and even Bob Dylan... after having been one of the most crazy iconoclasts of "Classic" Rock... you say he has no class, talent, nobility?! Naaaaaaaaaaa... and even WAITS... come on now…

13th Floor Elevators - Pictures (Leave Your Body Behind)

She Lives (In A Time Of Her Own)

13th Floor Elevators - Slip Inside This House

“…the music of the Elevators is breathless, claustrophobic, and oppressive. As if the doors of that elevator never actually opened. suffocating like a cotton ball soaked in paraffin stuck down the palate. Nobody smiles in the corridors of the thirteenth floor, but it is in the belly of this skyscraper in Austin that the elevator runs, bringing up the most insane and delirious psychedelic music of the sixties.”

Oh I, Rev, I find it amusing too, it’s more compelling than oppressive… these are personal sensations, savansadir.

More than the word (the album comes out simultaneously with Psychedelic Lollipop for instance), in my opinion, it’s really about the sound… what it should be saying is psychedelic. A word abused like few others. I don’t know how to define it, let alone… for me it’s not a genre but an aura that assimilates with other sounds, giving particular “effects” both to the sound and to the listener.

You can’t let go of Roki without also paying tribute to the subsequent one. Hello sick, martian, unfit…
