Obscured By... Oct 11 2011

You want obscurities?  OK - we have rarely heard "mod beat garagepunk" tracks from Singapore, Israel, Lebanon and beyond.  We have The Fantastic Leslie  featuring a future Chaser member, and a second version of the rare-enough-as-is Freshwater track 'Satan' - re-recorded with strings and brass.  We have a Hans Poulsen track so rare, no details can be found.  We have a Marty Rhone anti-conscription song buried on one of his B-sides.  Obscure enough so far?  Plus other US, UK and Australian tracks you probably won't hear on other shows.  Plus a collection taken at random from the various "O" sections of the Three D library.  And... well, take a look below for the rest.  All lovingly curated by this week's host, Michael Hunter.

Technicolour Dreaming

Fellow 3D Radio announcer Bryan (have a listen to his “MellowScream” breakfast show on Tuesdays, 6-9am Adelaide-time!) filled in for us again this week... keeping the sound of our show, but adding his own twist, he dug up some punk classics such as the Toy Dolls and Last Words, a taste of the 80’s with the Lime Spiders, a Beatles’ cover from 60’s Singapore, some recent Australian psych from bands such as the Dolly Rocker Movement, as well as diverse local Adelaide music from bands such as Circle Clan, the Green Circles and the Aves... finishing with a track off the Cat & the Brat’s new “Album of the Month”,  which of course is “West”, by San Francisco’s Wooden Shjips, their first album to be recorded in a “proper studio”, rather than ‘live’ or at their home studio...
