Re: (TV) Pink Floyd?? (>> roky erickson)

["Andy Ferguson" <afne04343@blueyonder.co.uk>]

for the record Roky is a big influence on my band . Not so much his
recordings , more his interviews and general madness .
Samples from an interview he did a while back and talked about the Wolf
Crownomecon and the demon behind the door etc are all over my bands first
album and he still floats around in the ether of my band .

A one-off .
Is there anywhere to hear that recent interview online streaming of whatever
?

Cheers
Andy
