In this episode of Audiography , we conclude our profile of the Texas Garage and Psychedelic Rock Scene. Our attention shifts to two bands: the 13 th Floor Elevators and the Red K[C]rayola.

“And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.†â€" Criswell, Plan 9 From Outer Space “The twenty-first century’s yesterday†â€" Michael Hutchence, “Need You Tonight†Few things rot on the popcult vine as fast as speculations regarding the future. Anticipating the world to come is easily enough done; extrapolate some current trends, toss in some improbable visual flourishes (flying cars, personal rocketships, boots with Saturnian ring systems), and presto! Instant futurism! The catch is that these space-casseroles are best eaten hot from the space-oven. Even the [...]
