Technicolour Dreaming

And so here it is... after six years of ‘drive-time radio’, we have the final Wednesday evening edition of Technicolour Dreaming. But it’s a consolidation, not some doomsday pronouncement... the Cat & the Brat will return on Tuesday, the first day of 2013, with an all-new version, rolling our two shows into one woozy, psychedelic, obscurity-filled noise-fest for your aural delectation! We will be combining our latest psych/surf/garage/electronic/pop faves with a generous helping of the weird & wonderful [dare we say obscurities?] of yesteryear, both from home and faraway shores plus the occasional interview and ‘live in the studio’ performance, as is our wont. And our dear former co-DOT, Mr Michael Hunter, will be dropping in from time to time to throw a few rarities/oddities your way... so it really is a case of “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ”, but in a good way!! In the meantime, feast your ears & eyes on the playlist/clips below from this last show where we played a bunch of our picks from 2012 including Pony Face, Los Liminanas and Ty Segall as well as all-time greats such as Sparks, Wooden Shjips and the Seeds before our final “Artist of the Month” choice, Scott Walker, provided the melodious soundtrack to our getaway......

A safe and enjoyable holiday season to you all!! See you next year..........
