Technicolour Dreaming

Paul D [from 3D Radio’s “the B-Side”] curated this week’s edition of Technicolour Dreaming in the absence of the Cat & the Brat... and what a great program! Beginning with a set of UK punk rock goodness from the likes of the Leyton Buzzards and Stiff Little Fingers, he featured releases and demos by some of Adelaide and Australia’s brightest, from the new DieselWitch and Villenettes demos through a couple of tracks from the Nuggets: Antipodean Interpolations... compilation of covers which was released last week, and on to current fave Subtract-S and back to a Green Circles track from 2008. The rest of the world wasn’t left out either, with great tracks from Donovan, Magazine, the Misunderstood etc, as well as introducing  Scott Walker  as our final “Band [or in this case, ‘Artiste’] of the Month” for 2012 – all said and done, a very cool listening experience! Thanks Paul!!
