Technicolour Dreaming

We began and ended the show this week with a couple of our favourite current bands, Gravenhurst from the UK and Moon Duo from the USA, as well as playing a pre-release copy of the new Ride Into The Sun single, taken from their upcoming mini-LP which, was produced in Melbourne by Alex Maas of the Black Angels – more news of that as it comes to hand! As always, we ventured far and wide for the programme, with tracks from Norway, Chile, the Netherlands and New Zealand amongst others plus some 60’s rarities such as the Tripsichord Music Box and the Attack. We also paid tribute to Jason Molina of Magnolia Electric Co. who passed away at a mere 39 years old – certainly an indictment of the American system of health care, or rather, the lack of it for people like musicians [though even the rich aren’t immune to its deficiencies – remember Andy Warhol being left to die neglected in a hospital corridor?] But we digress... Jason made some great music, and though it wasn’t exactly ‘psychedelic’, we felt he deserved tribute. On the lighter side, we played a version of the Woody Woodpecker song, a track from the bizarre ‘I Buried Paul: death rumour singles’ compilation that was released last year and check out the Vagrants clip from the 1965 ‘Beach Party’ exploitation movie “Disk-o-Tek Holiday” – they don’t make them like that anymore! Throw in some Monkees, Toy, Donovan and other assorted goodies and it’s another edition of Technicolour Dreaming... brought to you by the Cat & the Brat on 3D Radio, Adelaide, South Australia......
