Sitars, theremin and mellotron, backwards guitar, phasing and fuzz, fringes and mohawks, paisley, black, velvet and leather, feedback, bass and drone, beads, berets and safety-pins, Shindig! and Creem, 3 chord wonders, teenage symphonies and snarl, Rickenbacker, Farfisa and 4-track recorders... onstage at CBGB's, Max's Kansas City or the Trip, the Roundhouse, the 100 Club or the Crystal Ballroom, Catcher's, Big Daddy's or the Squatters Arms.... and the Cat and the Brat on 3D Radio!
Three D Radio announcer, MeganCat (up until recently with her husband, the late Peter Brat)lives in "The BratHaus" a rural seaside home about 100km from Adelaide on South Australia's scenic Fleurieu Peninsula. Veteran musician Peter, and artist/musician Megan, were long-time DJs onThree D Radio 93.7fm, Adelaide's eclectic independent music station. Together Peter & Megan, known as "The Cat and The Brat" created this blog to allow listeners to review the playlists of their radio show, "Technicolour Dreaming", watch clips of selected songs and simply join them in the enjoyment of their favourite music... psychedelia, 60's garage, surf, punk/post-punk, pop, folk-rock, glam, 'Krautrock', goth, 80's electro... and much more!
But The Cat is carrying on the tradition, with guest co-presenters, and "Technicolour Dreaming" will continue in the same format, drawing from the huge "Cat & Brat" music collection, with the addition of new releases and reissues to keep things current. The Brat is hugely missed, but the show must go on, as he wanted...

Covers and Comps (cover versions and compilations, that is...) pretty much sums up this week's show, with both in abundance! And especially those of the Australian variety, such as "Tomorrow Is Today: A Tribute to the Australian Psychedelic Scene 1966-70" and "Burn Your Fingers On The Sun", two classic double-CD psych comps which are now pretty hard to lay your hands on, unless you get lucky in the second-hand bins. The former release also features a disc of current (at the time) bands covering sixties Australian songs ... details of which can also be found in the accompanying book (of the same title) by Iain McIntyre, which also covers fashion, youth culture and society at large, and is still available from Wakefield Press. Unfortunately not many clips of these bands exist, so in some cases I've included an alternative song to give you an idea, in case you missed the show.

In an effort to get this long-overdue playlist posted, I'll skip the long, drawn-out intro, and let the music, and the moving pictures, do the talking.

This was a very, very sad weekfor losing legendary front-men - first, the news that the Easybeats'Stevie Wright, later a successful solo musician in his own right, had died on December 26; and 3 days later we lost Lemmy, best known from Motorhead, but prior to this the Rockin' Vickers, Sam Gopal, Opal Butterfly, and of course Hawkwind. At least The Brat will have some more people to jam with! So of course a few tribute songs were in order, but of course the show must go on - with quite a few instrumentals - Wiskey Biscuit,Scantharies and White Candlesfeatured, plus some French tracks (which I'd been missing) from Jacques du Tronc, Bernard Chabert and Dansez avec Moa. There was also a bit of a "Garden" and "Violet" theme going on for a while there, too, and another track from Sir Psych & LA Al'sSmoking Trees. Plus the usual mix...

It is
appropriate that this edition’s Compilation of the Week
is the 2014 Electric Sound Show 5-CD box-set,
a series that describes itself as ‘An Assortment of
Antiquities for the Psychedelic Connoisseur’, which, in part, is what we
aim to play for our listeners each week, along with more recent releases we pick from the current
psychedelic outpouring and its 20th century predeccessors! It
has a slightly murky history (you try getting any CONSISTENT, accurate
information about this series on the internet!) with the first
instalment of the original vinyl series, the “We
All Live On Candy Green” LP, put out by Soundshow
Records in 2004, followed by “In King
Solomon’s Minds” in 2010. The next LP was “Apricot
Hash in the Hourglass” in
2011, “Paper Thoughts of Polly Pan” (2013)
and finishing with “Green Eyed Gods of Smoke” (also
2013). The set covers rare 60’s psychedelia from Britain and the USA,
plus what is variously described as ‘Pop-Psych’, ‘Mindblowing Nuggets’ and
‘Heavy Psychedelic Stoners’ from the rest of the world. The limited edition 5CD
box set released by ParticlesRecords that is our particular focus this week is
based on the original vinyl albums, but with some different tracks to confuse
the issue.... whatever, it is a great boxset, and deserved its place as
our feature. Another highlight was a rare interview with Nickof Adelaide’s Molting Vultures... much merriment ensued as he
regaled us with tales of the music scene in Melbourne where he now resides. This
move several years ago means however that the Molting
Vultures now only play occasionally in either city, but have a great
turnout of loyal garage-psych aficionados whenever they appear and hopefully a
new album release will also ensue in the not too distant future with Nick promising he has some new songs ready for the
band to develop. For the rest of our playlist simply see below, and so until
next Tuesday, between 2
and 4pm (Central Australian Time)
on 3D Radio, we bid you “adieu”.....
......
and here’s the complete song-list, including some associated clips, including scenes from the Cat & Brat's wedding performance of 'Life On The Dole' with the Molting Vultures, the complete Andy Warhol tribute, “Songs for Drella”, played
live in 1990 by John Cale and Lou Reed, plus an episode of Julian Cope's "Modern Antiquarian" TV show..... Enjoy!!
