What follows is a conversation between R.E.M.�s Peter Buck and former 13th Floor Elevator Roky Erickson when the two recently met in Austin, Texas en route to a local restaurant.

ROKY: I haven�t been doing that much recording, I�ve been fixin� to start writin� some songs. The name of my band is Evilhook Wildlife ET. I got it from this guy that goes up on this mountain—he escaped from this mental hospital and they heard he was roamin� around the area killin� people. Alfred Hitchcock tells this story about these . people that are way up in the woods, and they heard these reports of this guy goin� inside the cabins where they�d be sittin� there havin� supper, and . kill them. At the last minute they open the door and say, �Well, they caught him, aren�t you glad to hear that?� �Yeah.� Finally there�s a knock at the door and there that guy is, and he says, �Hi. RRROOOWWWRRR!�
