Normally we wouldn’t play quite so
many songs from a pair of albums, but the 40th anniversary re-issue
of the original 1972 Nuggets compilation has
prompted a couple of Australian releases to join the on-going series and
thankfully didn’t just contain ‘the hits’ or ‘oft-comped’... so we felt free to
plunder! Of particular interest were the ‘versions’
by current bands... some interesting interpretations indeed [though why so very
few bands from outside the Sydney/Melbourne axis, hmmm?] To balance this outpouring
of Australiana, we threw in a bunch of Swedish psych/freakbeat singles from the
60’s, an obscure Luke Haines recording, a 17
minute Neil Young track from his new album
[yes, he’s hardly ‘obscure’, but well, who else but
we three DOTS would play such long songs on
radio?], plus a brand-new demo from garage/surf kings Dieselwitch...
... so here is the
