Being Record
Store Day later in the week, we thought it appropriate to feature a
number of vinyl singles and LPs, past and present, so we dug out a few
favourites and obscurities including a classic from Big
Star’s first album, some Australian 60’s-era singles from the likes of Mike Furber and former Masters
Apprentices guitarist, Peter Tilbrook,
a French tribute to Dr Wilhelm Reich by the Zorgones and a cut from the brand new LP by Paul Messis, released this week on the UK
independent label, State Records. We also
featured some of the artists appearing at the upcoming Austin
Psych Fest, including organisers the Black
Angels and Adelaide representatives Ride
Into The Sun, plus some classic pop-psych from the
Association and the Seeds as well as
tracks from current purveyors such as Vibravoid
and Clinic. Regular listeners will be aware
of our fondness for ‘suites’ of songs
[most recently one from Procol Harum] so how
could we resist playing - in full - the ‘audio-storybook LP’ tale of “Eyes Like The Sky”, narrated and written by
Australian legend Broderick Smith [Carson/Dingoes
etc] accompanied by the psychedelic/spaghetti western/surf sounds of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – brilliant
stuff! On a more sombre note, we celebrated the lives of Chris Bailey and Annette
Funicello, both of whom passed away recently, by playing some of their
music and video-clips – R.I.P. Chris and Annette!
