Technicolour Dreaming

Sometimes this blog comes together so easily, other times it is exceptionally testing. This is one of those testing times! So I might just let the tunes from last week (and the clips that have managed to work) speak for themselves, so I don't delay posting this any longer....next weeks Technicolour Dreaming will feature some pre-release goodies from Kind Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Luck of Eden Hall, Kikagaku Moyo and Elephant Stone, so tune in on Tuesday at 2pm (Australian Central Standard Time) on Thee D Radio 93.7fm, or listen to the live stream at www.threedradio.com. You know you want to!

Technicolour Dreaming

The show started with a French-language version ("Noir C'Est Noir") of a Spanish hit ("Negro Es Negro"), which later became the disco anthem "Black is Black" ... cover versions seemed to be the only unifying factor for the next 2 hours of music, which stylistically wandered all over the place. I don't think that Technicolour Dreaming could ever be accused of being predictable!

Here's the playlist for your edification, with some clips to ponder while wondering what in the world will be on the show next week!

Technicolour Dreaming

The Scientists are in Adelaide this week so we thought we’d feature one of their classic songs, albeit one originally released as a single b-side, and this kind of set the tone for the rest of the show. Yes there were some recent releases, including songs from Pinkunoizu, the Luck of Eden Hall and Temples and even pre-releases from the Barbarellatones and the Dandelion Seeds, but the bulk of rest were from all over the place, with tracks from artists such as Chad & Jeremy, John Foxx, nick nicely, the Good, the Bad & the Queen, This Mortal Coil and the Frantics, with Mordecai Smyth finishing off on a suitably British psych-pop note.....
