Technicolour Dreaming

Amongst the new releases featured this week on the show was the Junipers “Euphonius Trolley EP”, their pop-psych side-project, and if the track we played, “My Budgerigar (is addicted to rasmalai)”, is any indication, we can only hope they pursue this direction further and put out a full album – we loved it!  Do check it out! Also featured were new tracks from the Horrors, the Roaring 420’s, Kikagaku Moyo and Octopus Syng, plus two French favourites, Sudden Death of Stars and Forever Pavot. Older music was not forgotten, of course, ranging from 60’s singles by Ola & the Janglers, the Dave Miller Set and Rhubarb Rhubarb, with a 70’s recording by the Left Banke, through to more recent tracks by the likes of Psychic Ills, Gold Paint and from 1990, the debut single by Cat & Brat faves, the Luck of Eden Hall. We also featured another track by Adelaide’s own Twilights and you’ll find Part 2 of the pilot of their ill-fated TV series attached for your viewing pleasure. So, until next week.....

Technicolour Dreaming

It’s been a while since we played a song-suite, so the five tracks that compose the opus that is ‘In Held Twas I’ from Procol Harum’s second album seemed to fit the bill. From there it was off on a trip through eras and locales, fed by more of the goodies that have appeared in our post-box recently, plus a few old favourites like the Twilights, Eno and Jacques Dutronc. Highlights included songs from the debut album by Dean Allen Foyd, the Citradels, Beaulieau Porch and local heroes the Systemaddicts, as well as from older albums by Sweden’s the Works and criminally neglected 60’s L.A. garage-girls the Daisy Chain, plus a cool version of D.A.F.’s “Der Mussolini” by Green Hornet and a classic from nick nicely. Throw in the Wondermints, Jeff Duff, the Millennium and loads more and it’s another episode done and dusted by the Cat and the Brat.....
