That electric jug sound is freaky as hell. Love this song. Roky Erickson is a tragic story. Ruined by drugs and "treatment" at one of Texas' state hospitals for people with mental health issues.
Best rock n roll singer of all time
I grew up in Southeast Texas and went to several of their gigs. The noise you're talking about is an "Electric Jug". It's a jug that has a hole cut out in the bottom and goes up and down and then run thru an amp's reverb. The depth of the bottom movement up and down creates the pitch. Yeah. Rocky was institutionalized in Austin, back in the day (too much acid), and past away a year or so ago. A waste of a genius musician!
Damn JP, your musical taste hits the mark for me so so frequently, hands down my fav reactor. As for the elevators, this is a hit, but personally I like their "Roller Coaster" song better. Hope you react to it one day.
Ty Nick :)
One of my favorite 60s band❤
Excellent Band and brilliant LP. Roky Erikson has a great solo career as well. I have heard so many bands cover this song. A Professional Jug player is surely a Juggler?
Yer right... he's sorta blowing into a jug! They are/were pretty big amongst prog fans, oops! I meant 60's garage/psych fans. ELP and Yes were big fans of Roky's.
Nice track - good exemplar of the genre, psychedelic garage band rock. The 13th Floor Elevators were fairly well known, being the first band to actually use the word psychedelic in their branding, and usually among the handful of bands mentioned in discussing the genre, along with bands like Strawberry Alarm Clock, Electric Prunes, and Chocolate Watchband. The scene as a whole was highly influential, but never got as big as the exemplars of psychedelic rock we all know, like Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, and early Pink Floyd, who were perhaps more properly a part of that garage sound, at least on Piper. The Beatles, of course, made their own dominant bids in that P rock space from '66 to '68. (Hey, you should move next to Magical Mystery Tour when you're done with the White Album! That or Revolver.)
Yes for the Magical Mystery Tour. As an 8 year old living in Australia I bought the double 7" EP which (and I have immediately checked my facts via wiki) was not officially released as an LP in the UK (just the USA) but with the inclusion of the stand alone singles (Strawberry Fields ... etc) I think should be considered as a bona fide album and for me it is The Beatles greatest - over all a far more enjoyable listening experience to me than is Sgt Peppers.
Wow, I'm now famous 8))
You might wanna check out the Roky Erickson documentary "You're Gonna Miss Me"
Edit: Also, this song opens the movie "High Fidelity"
One of my very favorite rock tracks ever.
This band has alot of history. One of the first to call themselves psychedelic rock. Roky is kinda Austins Syd Barrett. He has a long story that includes time in an Austin sanitarium. He picked it over going to jail for pot. But really did have mental health and drug issues. Off and on he made music or would spend time as a recluse. He went years with no help but the last part of his life was on medication and played concerts. There is a documentary about him.
This recommendation has nothing to do with You're gonna miss me. But have you ever heard the group Propellerheads and Shirley Bassey do their version of "History Repeating"?
Great proto punk!
Alleged to get you high even when you're straight, The Thirteenth Floor Elevators were the first band to describe or advertise their music as psychedelic, beating The Grateful Dead by two weeks. "I come out of Buddy Holly and then ran straight into Bob Dylan who then ran straight outta me," Roky Erickson said in 1996, "I was as Texas as i ever was, like a full dead creature could be." Which is about as articulate and succinct a statement about the Elevators as one could hope for today. Known to cause as much trouble to the authorities in Texas as the Sex Pistols would in the UK (by the end of the sessions Erickson would have taken acid over 300 times), ask any Texas musician over 40 about them and they'll tell you: the Elevators weren't mere prophets, they were Kings. Hypnotic!! 🤩
They also played with the butthole surfers in the 80s and were appreciated by a younger audience, yep, influencial band for sure.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Extremely.
@@Owlstretchingtime78 Yep, nowadays you never hear them mentioned,.a lot of good bands practically disappeared from the public discourse. Os mutantes, United States of America, the pretty things or even the zombies. Probably only Hendrix, The Doors or The velvet underground are still big names.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956Yeah, USA should be more known!
Or someone make JP pick them! Or Broadcast!..
re: "Alleged to get you high even when you're straight" - YES - It was a William Castle gimmick done on a rock n roll record, like "The Tingler". Roky's solo stuff was more along these lines, as dedicated to horror as William Castle, a monster magazine in rock n roll form.
I find it strange they their rights holders blocked you, but I think the lawyers of some bands just do this brains-off, mechanically, so I shouldn't. Anyway, thanks for reminding me of them. I listened to them quite a lot for a while, and then stopped. Must have been during the Great Bookmarks Slaughter Event of 1157, when Harald Hardrader's great grandson sued the Duke of Normandy for his throne.
They had a song I liked better than this, but this was enjoyable enough. Now what was that other song? ...
I don't think think I've yet given you a link to the version of *Christian Animation Torch Carriers* (hint, hint, they're all good) that's been used as a soundtrack to the Rat Who Finds Happiness Movie (by Steve Cutts). The movie might be insufficiently optimistic for some occasions, but on a day like that, just look out the window at all the butterflies doing their flutter-by's, and soar on the music. (On other days, it's maybe helpful to have the slightly less than entirely optimistic movie to keep a ground line attached to all the ecstasies the music puts you at risk of.)

I haven't seen any GBV reaction videos I can recall, so maybe Robert Pollard hunts down perpetrators of these. If so, you can probably still get away with a listen in secret, though. Just don't talk about it outside the house. Otherwise They're gonna come and Get You.
Oh dear, this was so appallingly of it's time, and has aged horribly. I found the song quite cringe inducing. An oldie but baddie I could've well done without hearing. The ultra corny album title should have set off all kinds of warning sirens... No, maaaan, I was so far from digging this it's untrue maaaan. Simply dreadful.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I have to disagree so strongly. Sure this song is a product of its time but it is like a time machine transporting me right back to 1966.
I can understand how a younger person now wouldn't like this song or understand but to say it has aged badly is wrong.
As are most prog bands maaan! Sigh.
@@brucster99b2I wouldn't in a zillion years call this prog.
@@richg0404Not sure this person is "younger". I'm 39 so technically on the cusp of middle age, but this song sounds great to me 😊
@@jfergs.3302 No.... I meant musical styles being of their time. Prog, punk and so on. Plus, I think if you check, the Elevators were hugely popular with 80's/90's garage bands, and are still relevant to many garage/psych rock bands that are around today. Different strokes I guess.
