FW: Roky Erikson

Sat Dec 27 17:18:06 CST 2003

Hey, the Texas Psych group see:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TexasPsych/
is compiling a be-all, end-all, multi-disc set of
acoustic Roky Erickson & studio electric. The acoustic
can be both live or studio. The electric must be
studio. This has since been expanded to include video
rips. Like, audio recordings taken from video. It’s a
work in progress.

How about helping us with this? We are the same people
that run the Roky CD Club:
http://rokybarrett.tripod.com/rokycdclub/index.html

So you KNOW we do it right! Again, we are seeking
upgrades and additions to what we have. This 5-disc
grouping is just that, a grouping. It might take  on a
different form later. Specifically, we are seeking the
full Master Tape & 2nd CBS LP demos along with the
full Sleeping Lady Café bit. Anything else you can
think of too! Help us help you! You know we’re for the
fans! This set can be amazing but we need your help.

Contact Pinnacle Pete about any stuff you can throw in
the pot: petermoore at iname.com

Recall ...

"I got a call from Pynchon's agent saying Pynchon
liked the script, but he wanted a couple of changes.
First you call him Tom, and no one ever calls him Tom.
Second, although he likes Willy DeVille he would
prefer if it were a T-shirt with Roky Erickson of the
13th Floor Elevators."

http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/pynchon_tv_refs.html

Pynchon's refusal of the spectacle is not so total as
it may seem -- not in what still remains his private
life, and certainly not in fiction -- after all (and
after Pynchon) it would be impossible to avoid the
totality of the spectacle. In episode 11 of "The John
Larroquette Show" titled "Newcomer" (airing in 1994),
a character describes seeing the famous recluse
writer, who was wearing a Roky Erickson T-shirt.
