Technicolour Dreaming

Here's the latest batch of tunes from the show - couldn't resist a few old favourites from the likes of The Died Pretty, The Move, Naz Nomad and the Nightmares (an off-shoot from The Damned, while Captain Sensible was having his run of hit singles - far prefer this to "Happy Talk"!), The Seeds, and perennial favourites Vibravoid. Also featured were 2 tracks from the soon-to-be-released Systemaddicts CD, "Broken Hearted on the Nullarbor" (for those not in the know, Nullarbor literally means "no trees", and is an area of desolate desert to the north-west of Adelaide, the band's hometown, which any road-trip to western Australia heads right through the middle of  - a famous spot for cars breaking down!). Anyway, as there are no clips for the tracks played (yet), included at the end of the blog is a little taster of a recent live show - enjoy!

...and here's the playlist, with associated visuals...(and I've given up on trying to fix all the different font sizes - it's driving me mad!!!)

Technicolour Dreaming

I really must apologise for the appallingly long time between posts, as well as the gaps in shows appearing on the blog. Been having some “technical difficulties” lately with a new system being used at Three D for the logging of songs played on the show, and it’s compatibility with Blogger, so if the formatting is all a bit skewed, you’ll know why. The missing shows from the past few weeks will be appearing as soon as I can get them sorted out. So without further ado, here’s what was played…

Technicolour Dreaming

Another episode of Technicolour Dreaming, with the usual mix of old and new, Australian, American and European psychedelia of various styles. Rather than prattle on here, I think I’ll just let the music and pictures do the talking this week … though I was intrigued by what the translation would be of the second track I played, by French band Dansez Avec Moa (Dance of the Moa). So thanks to my handy translator, I’ve found that it is: “The French are Calves [Well Well! I Commend You - Pfut , Pfut , Pfut]”. So now you know…. …and here is the playlist, with associated visuals - and apologies for the formatting - the blog is just not in a co-operative mood this week! Laika & the Cosmonauts - Psyko     (“Cosmopolis 1988-2008” compilation 2008 Finland)   Dansez Avec Moa - Les Francais Sont Des Veaux [Eh Bien!

Technicolour Dreaming

There was a definite German flavour to the show this week, with Vibravoid, Klaus Nomi, and Can featuring (lots and lots of Can, certainly more of an airing than ever before, and very likely, ever again!) The latter two bands were choices of fill-in co-host Mike G, who certainly put a different spin on the second half of Technicolour Dreaming! A smattering of local Adelaide bands also featured, with The Dunes, Wild Rocket, Blood Plastic and an old but good one from Nuvo Bloc thrown in for good measure. The rest of the show was the usual mix of old and new from round the world … and following the Australian Playboys’ “Sad” with The Social Outcasts’ “Mad” was totally unintentional!
