    I remember my dad always talking about the 13th Floor Elevators! He became a fan when he came up to here to Austin to attend school in 1966. Another dad favorite is Shiva's Headband! Wish I could've experienced Austin as it was back then. It was still nice when I was a kid in the 80s, but nothing like it was in the 60s! It totally sucks nowadays!

    I have been a fan of the 13th Floor Elevators since the 80"s (I got turned on to them by a comment that a member of the 70's punk band Television made about their greatest influences.) Easter Everywhere is one of the great albums of all time, not just one of the great forgotten albums. If you want to listen to another great album try Marquee Moon by Television.
    At first I thought the dance sequence by Janik and Arnaut was something modern done to Roller Coaster, but upon closer examination I found that it is actually from 1954.
    Well a couple of great artist to do some more research on! Thanks so much for posting this!

      That jug thing does make such a unique sound and looping rhythm. Maybe it is the timbre, too that just makes it kind of mesmerizing. Listening to the hug and watching the snake lady simultaneously, I really feel a thrumming in my brain, it's like a physical pleasure derived from this unnatural looking and sounding shit that confuses my sensory processing.

    Well 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
    And things appear as they really are,
    I can see just what I want to see
    Oh 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,
    'Cause there's nothing you need to say
    Well come on, you gotta let it happen to you,
    Come on, and let it happen to you,
    You gotta open up your mind
    And let everything come through
    After your 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
    'Cause you know more than you thought you knew
    And you're looking at the world
    From 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,
    And let everything come through
