Captain Sensible - Astronomy Domine

Obscured By...

This week, we (Michael Hunter, Cat & Brat) played some 60s Asian obscurities that were so rare, we had no details for them at all.  Detective work now reveals their details below!  Equally rare Swedish bands of the era were also featured, and luckily videos of The Tages and Steampacket (no relation to the UK band of that name) were discovered, showing the quality of their work.  We also said goodbye to legendary session man Big Jim Sullivan, and brought things right up to date with music by the Allah-Las and Moon Duo, via strange mash-ups (RIAA) and medleys (Captain Sensible).  All in a day's work for Obscured By...

Technicolour Dreaming

“From the 60’s to Now!” is a premise of  Technicolour Dreaming  which was admirably fulfilled in this week’s edition, brought to you by our 3D Radio compadre Paul D. in our absence (check out his blog here)... from the Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Kinks to the latest from the Laurels and Adelaide’s Tea, with stops along the way to visit the Soft Boys, the Hard-Ons and the Beep Seals, plus Captain Sensible’s lament for Thatcher’s Falklands War and the Teardrop Explodes’ second single, whilst not forgetting a classic from our latest “Artiste of the Month”, the brilliant Brian Eno... great stuff!
