Technicolour Dreaming

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.

Technicolour Dreaming

The Cat & the Brat were back in the studio again after a short break (and a big thank you to heather, a true 3D Radio icon, for filling-in last week under difficult circumstances – and of course still presenting a psychedelightful programme nonetheless!) with a special ‘birthday’ edition of Technicolour Dreaming, so we just played favourites, new and old, to celebrate! Needless to say, we only made a small dent in the list of afore-mentioned ‘favourites’, but it was fine to hear such classics as the Electric Prunes ‘Too much to Dream...’, the Stranglers ‘Nuclear Device’ and the Monkees ‘Porpoise Song’ amongst all the ‘hits-in-our-alternate-universe’ that we love just as much... as always it was a diverse bunch, taking in Marianne Faithfull, Germany’s Cobra Killer, Norway’s the Apricot and an absolute killer track from Adelaide’s 60’s outfit, the Southern Gentlemen, and LOTS more! Plus we had our new “Band of the Month”, namely the Dukes of Stratosphear, who of course were XTC’s very psychedelic alter-egos, and with their excellent box-set for us to plunder, you are in for some treats in the coming weeks!
