13th Floor Elevators Book

by David Garrick

Back in 1965, the members of Austin’s 13th Floor Elevators more than likely had no idea the stamp their music would leave on the world.

Indie Rock Jay Som

B-sides are things that used to get stamped on the underside of a 45 and never really get much attention.

Country Luba Dvorak Podcast

by David Garrick

For anyone who’s a fan of traditional country music, there’s still a lively amount of artists who steer from the glitzy side of country music.
