Gosh! I can’t believe Roky Erikson is playing The Bowery Ballroom tonight and I’m going to see him! For those of you unfamiliar with him, Roky played in the pre-punk psychedelic band The Thirteen Floor Elevators, which he co-founded in 1965. They had a modest hit in ’66 called “You’re Gonna Miss Me” but drugs and a long stay in a mental hospital (where he was treated with shock treatments) took their toll on him. He’d turned up once in a while with an album or EP but disappeared just as fast. His biggest mainstream endeavor might be that he has one song the punk soundtrack from the horror-comedy RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Apparently with the help of his brother is gotten his life back on track and is touring!

Other than that not much going on except it's raining a like crazy here! For once the weather guessers, I guys were right! Though I don't think it's as windy as they said it would be.
