there's something really beautiful about a comment titled "Roky..." that goes back and forth upon the same link!

LOVE 13th Floor Elevators!!

I just discovered them. Musicians are like gods to me, so much power.

I wondered what the hell was up with that link I posted. Glad you found it beautiful. I wonder what I was trying to link to?

You lucky, git! I'd give anything to re-discover a band of that magnitude again! They do my favourite version of Dylan's Baby Blue. http://youtu.be/jGqEFQ5xmjU (seems the youtube button on here doesn't work?)

Good to still see/hear/read you kicking around these pages, ST. I wonder if you remember me from years ago...? Bennie.

and, if I may... one of the all time great records, ever!!! is "the psychedelic sounds of..." [youtube][/youtube]

...have you heard of a band currently operation out of Texas (they originated the Austin Psych Festival, which has become an international big deal on the psych scene, many of my friends have been several years in a row...me, I can't get that kinda cash together!) They're called the Black Angels. Their debut album should entertain you well enough:

i think i know how i feel
E E7 E
cause i
G A A7 A
i only play it for-real
A7 E E7 E
you should be picking me up
G A A7 A
instead you're dragging me down
A7 E E7 E
flying over my head
G A A7 A A7
you're landing all over town
spooky lyrics for me
in fact the whole thing was a trip, the graphics, the music 8)

no sorry
just glad to hear from you

I see what is wrong
you can't parse a link like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StV9lElc ... e=youtu.be
because it has two = signs

what I do is find the stand alone version of the song, i.e. a single post rather than a collection of songs

so copy and paste the title and search youtube for a link that
looks like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StV9lElcvAY



but besure that it is all on the same line like this
good youtubeembed.PNG
good youtubeembed.PNG (1.64 KiB) Viewed 1862 times
sometimes it will come out looking like this
badyoutube embed.PNG
badyoutube embed.PNG (1.67 KiB) Viewed 1862 times
and the video won't show
so you have to delete the extra space
is that clear as mud? :wink:

btw
me and my grandma had some good times together :P
