Obscured By...

This particular Obscured By... included a farewell to Melbourne music identity Peter Lillie (Pelaco Bros, Autodrifters etc), a collection of Greek psychedelic and related music, another rocky show tune from Dee Snider, Australian rock and pop rarities as usual, the oddness of one man band Deb Hyer and some word-association inspired blending of tracks - Sun Araw spontaneously leading to Rolf Harris' Sun Arise.  Clever, eh?  Cat and Brat, Michael Hunter - at your service.
