this week on radio free montreal's weekly variety hour, we devote the entire show to the 13th floor elevators. our melbourne correspondent mentioned a film about the band's troubled singer (you're gonna miss me) and in his latest contribution, talks about seeing the band in melbourne. I decided to look into this band a little bit and found so many great songs that marcello and I just played nothing but 13th floor' for the whole show. I know we already devoted an entire show to psycadelic music just a few weeks ago but I think the 13th floor elevators are more than just a psycadelic band. their earliest stuff sounds more TROGS, THEM, SONICS and then there's that damned jug in nearly every song.
