Obscurity comes in many forms. It could be songs that were never officially released eg Treo+1 with Issi Dye on lead vocals, or The Manx who had such high hopes (see the video) but never actually released any records. Or rare Party Machine with Ross Wilson & Mike Rudd, pre- Daddy Cool or Spectrum. It could be bizarre covers - looking at you, Fibonaccis and Sun Yuma! It could be stuff that's great but largely forgotten, eg Saddhu Brand, or a famous person's pseudonym (Paul McCartney with Youth, as The Fireman) - or just a seemingly unlikely combination, as in a trippy song by a mid-70s Catholic nun! Or its very newness makes it unheard, such as the track from the Magic Bones EP not released until next month. How does one possibly keep up with it all? Easy - tune into 93.7FM in Adelaide on Tuesdays at 2pm or via www.threedradio.com and let it all come to you! This week, the show was hosted by all three "dots" for your listening edification.
