Technicolour Dreaming

As always, the music this week ranged far & wide.... through tracks by the likes of Billy Nicholls and ? and the Mysterians from five decades ago, via Truth [a late incarnation of Them], Roxy Music, Dog Age and Galaxie 500 in the succeeding years, to the latest releases of Doug Tuttle and the Citradels, and scattered across both hemispheres, from the northern climes of Iceland, the abode of the Dandelion Seeds, to the southern reaches of Tasmania, from whence come the Green Mist. Whenever or wherever, we hope you enjoyed the ride.....

Technicolour Dreaming

For the final show for 2011 we played a selection of our favourite music, new and old... pretty much your regular Technicolour Dreaming really! We roamed from the new Horrors album to the debut from Adelaide’s Systemaddicts, from the psychedelic harmonies of Mikal Cronin to the garage brilliance of Clinic and from a Rolling Stones gem to a great version of a ‘wormy’ classic by Adelaide’s brillig. We also paid tribute to the late Sean Bonniwell... the Music Machine were one of the great bands of the 60’s, precursors of punk dressed in black and leather, who did the ‘one-gloved-hand’ thing way before that Jackson guy! We also featured a track from our newest boxset (though it was released in 2009)... a very groovy collection by the Dukes of Stratosphear [i.e. XTC in psychedelic disguise] packaged in purple velour and including a jigsaw puzzle... what better holiday gift could we get ourselves! And in finishing with the last pick from the current “band of the month”, Paul Revere and the Raiders, we bid our listeners/readers [i.e. YOU] a “Happy New Year” and we look forward to bringing you more great music in 2012...
