I knew I should've gone to Austin. Psychedelic 60's icon Roky Erickson pairs with Okkervil River for one of his signature tracks? Sign me the fuck up. Check the video here at spin.com.
And for those unfamiliar, here's the full MP3 from a Roky anthology. Song should be familiar to those of you who love John Cusack's High Fidelity.
"You're Gonna Miss Me Baby" (MP3)
Another vid of merely Okkervil after the jump. And if you're lucky, by the end of the weekend, I'll compose and post a psych-influenced mix.

Black Cab Sessions are genius...and Beach House "Heart of Chambers" video
So...fancy yourself a Daytrotter fan? Well they've got nothing on these guys. Welcome to Thunderdome. The gauntlet has been laid, my dear friends.
The gist is this: grab your favorite indie artists, including Spoon, Daniel Johnston, Okkervil River the National, and Elvis Perkins...stick them in the back of a cab and have them play. Whilst driving around. Genius.
In other news...Beach House's record release went swimmingly last night at the G-Spot. Check out their latest video, just released, for track "Heart of Chambers" after the jump.
