Technicolour Dreaming

The Cat and the Brat were in the mood for some heavy guitar sounds this week, as evidenced by Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ through to some Stooges and Radio Birdman. Of course there was plenty of psych goodness too, with tracks from Thee Oh Sees, Adelaide’s Mondo Phase Band (recorded ‘live’ in 3D Radio’s SoundLounge), the Lovetones, a pick from the new ‘singles collection’ by the Brian Jonestown Massacre and a keyboard freakout from Quasi. There was a classic early single by the Saints plus some mid-70’s Flamin’ Groovies and a demo from Adelaide punk legend, Liz Dealey. We finished with another track from ‘West’ by the Wooden Shjips, our current ‘Album of the Month’.....
