Technicolour Dreaming

This week we went from Adam & the Ants to All Night Radio and Ian Skelly,  Les Fleurs de Pavot to Beaulieu Porch, Australian 90’s icons Clouds and a 1967 Brian Wilson demo, a few covers [including a briefly-reformed lineup of local punk legends, the Dagoes, covering their own classic 1980 version of a Roky Erikson gem, plus Espers acid-folk take on the Blue Oyster Cult], some new  and older vinyl & CD releases incorporating a bunch of re-issues from the 60’s, as well as a duo of songs featuring giant squids [one of which includes the immortal rhyme “the squid was vicious, Sid was delicious...”] amongst other things – what else could it be but the Cat & the Brat’s “Technicolour Dreaming” streaming psychedelic psounds to the world on Adelaide’s own 3D Radio.....
