Psychedelic Garage Music at Its Finest

If you saw High Fidelity, you may recall this as the song John Cusack puts on when he's dumped by his girlfriend at the start of the movie. It's a classic from about 1966 by the 13th Floor Elevators, led by the inimitable Roky Erickson (who's in the midst of a big comeback, having just released a new album backed by Okkervill River). Hard to believe that this song is almost 45 years old...
