It starts like a roller coaster ride...

En medio de la cuesta de una hilarante paranoia mediática por fin todo parece regresar a la normalidad... Y para celebrarlo el Mr. Heart Attack les tiene varios presentes...

Lo primero tiene que ver con algo personal (en un blog escribir de algo no personal es todo un lujo...). Se trata del segundo track del Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators que en estos días resulta ser una excelente letra de aliento. That Es un regalo para aquellos que se encuentren a punto de comenzar algo, de graduarse, de renunciar... va sobre las líneas del turn on, tune in, drop out!

Roller Coaster
(Roky Erickson)

Once, somewhere, sometime ago
His eyes were clear to see,
He put his thoughts into my mind,
And gave my self to be
He stopped me from living so unsane,
I could be just what I want to be,
Things appear as they really are,
I can see just what I wanted to see

Come on, and let it happen to you
I say, I say come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind
And let everything come through...
Come on yeah!

Well it starts like a roller coaster ride,
So real it takes your breath away
It slides you through your point of view,
You look back to where you thought you'd stayed
Your ride changes outside view,
While it glides you like a neon ray,
And you find you don't have to search for words,
For there's nothing to be said

Come on, you gotta let it happen to you
Hey, come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind
And let everything come through...

After you trip life opens up,
You start doing what you want to do
And you find out that the world that you once feared,
Gets what it has from you
No one can ever hurt you
But you know more than you thought you knew
And you're looking at the world
With brand new eyes,
And no one can ever spoil the view

Come on, and let it happen to you
Hey, hey, hey come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind
And let everything come through...

Open up your mind,
Let everything come through...

Y aquí la, ya clásica, versión en vivo de Spacemen 3...

Spacemen 3 - Roller Coaster (live)

A few more goodies on Mr. Heart Attack T.V. El fin de semana que comenzó la pandemia se llevó a cabo la presentación del debút Victorian Houses de los über-mellow-epic-hip Antoine Reverb en el infame LARVA (now seriously man! cut the shit... get some real sound engineers and some fine roadies, stop cancelling gigs and then you'll have a nice and decent venue). Esa noche estuvieron acompañados por, el side project de la Soho Riots family, Holy Mountains (no, no The Holy Mountains, ni Holy Mountain... HOLY FREAKIN' MOUNTAINS). Como sorpresa, el amo de las chácharas electrónicas (see older posts), el Sr. Hugo Robota (Nos Llamamos, Evil Hippie, Robota) los acompañó en una gloriosa y épica (there's got to be something wrong about self-promotion...) versión de I Wanna be your Dog de The Stooges... véanlo con sus propios ojillos:

Holy Mountains Featuring Hugo Robota - I wanna be your slumdog millionaire

There you go... con esto tiene que bastar para cuando vuelva a actualizar... amenazo con subir, pronto, el Victorian Houses y regresar con un Twitter...

Booyah!
