Liked on YouTube: Roky Erickson – Bermuda, original 45

This record, released in 1977, comes from the period of time just after Roky’s release from the Texas mental institution. The demons he suffered from as a result of the inhumane treatment there were expressed in a series of recordings that were done at several studios, notably The Church studio in Marin County, California, by producer Bill Steele.

I had the good fortune to be in that studio for a short time when Roky was in session, brought there by a friend who worked there and knew of my interest in his music. My friend also gave me this record as well as the Sponge EP, which contains four tracks familiar to all Roky Erickson fans, which I will post in good time.

See my other posting for the other side of this record (“The Interpreter”).

Liked on YouTube: 13th Floor Elevators – “Slide Machine”, original mono LP

This is the original 1967 mono mix, created by the artists and their producer. This particular copy is a promo copy, of which it has been said, no more than about 30 were made. I picked this one up for one dollar in 1970 at a used record store on 8th Street in New York City.

For the benefit of those who care about such things, I am reproducing the lyrics from the sheet enclosed with the record below.

From the enclosed lyric sheet:

Slide Machine
(Powell St.John alias John St. Powell)

Well I’ve been down south
Where they use the slide machine
Where the gods of gold are heard
But seldom seen
And here I’ve been
Just stuck up in between
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you

Well the slide machine it sweeps stones
Right off the road
For the tandem trucks
And the loads that they towed
And me I just been lookin
For one goin’ slow
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you

My woman here she’s got a dozen names
She’s sought by soldiers
And they try to keep her tame
But her rewards will leave them just the same
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you

Well I’ve been down south
Where they use the slide machine
Where the Gods of gold are heard
But seldom seen
And here I’ve been
Just stuck up in between
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
Tryin’ to tryin to
Tryin’ to get back to you
(Vocal: Roky)

The vinyl sound track was restored using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and Adobe Audition 3.0.

Liked on YouTube: Dr Disrespect’s new approach to NFTs still sucks

Dr Disrespect and his studio Midnight Society announced earlier this week that they would be integrating NFTs into their hit new AAA game that they haven’t actually given a title yet, or given a timeline for… or even really confirmed the genre… Here we go again.

In this video we breakdown Dr Disrespect and Midnight Society’s new approach to NFT’s and why it’s still a bummer.

Lyrics:
Dead Love couldn’t go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain’t coming home with you

My life’s a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don’t know what I’m gonna do

I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell’s bells, miss-spells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn’t hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I’ll be in good company

Dead Love couldn’t go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain’t coming home with you

My life’s a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don’t know what I’m gonna do

I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell’s bells, misspells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn’t hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I’ll be in good company

In hell I’ll be in Good Company
