Technicolour Dreaming

We began this week’s show with an old favourite from the Dolly Rocker Movement and ended it with a new one by Pinkunoizu, with the usual diverse mixture in between. There were also several new acquisitions waiting for us at the Post Office to enrich the mix, including the new “Psych Tribute to the Doors” compilation and the very tasty “Love, Poetry & Revolution” boxset. Throw in some Electric Prunes, Citradels, Vibravoid, Jim Noir and a bunch of other interesting artists and that’s the show – so until next week  [when we’ll hopefully have a very special guest to talk to].....

Technicolour Dreaming

Dropping into our P.O. on the way into 3D Radio in Adelaide for our show, we had the good fortune to receive our packages of back issues from the brilliant Greek psych mag ‘TimeMazine’, including the awesome compilations that go with each [thank you Michalis!] and another pile of CDs from the Active Listener’s on-line store in New Zealand [thank you Nathan!], so we had plenty of new music to share with you on top of the trusty bagful we were already taking into the station. Whew! Another game of “what do we play first?!” But we managed, though as always there was a LARGE heap of unplayed vinyl and CDs... but they’ll be on the agenda next week, fear not dear listener!.....
