As
time marches on, and the days creep inexorably by, it seems that every
fortnight or so we hear of yet another luminary of the music world leaving this
mortal coil … this week we paid tribute to the passing of “the Fifth
Ramone” artist Arturo Vega and Jefferson Airplane drummer Joey
Covington by playing the former band’s cover of the latter’s “Somebody to Love”. On a brighter note Vic Conrad, veteran of the Adelaide music scene
and also known as “Mr V” to his record-shopping
friends, dropped in to do a spot of guest programming, bringing with him a copy
of the brand-spanking new CD and single by the Dust
Collection, of which he is a member, as well as LPs by Portugal’s Saturnia, the UK’s Instant
Flight and America’s Sky Picnic amongst
other delights. We also played another track from Vibravoid’s
new album, this time a 60’s French cover which is better known to Australians
in its translated form as “No No No No No” by
Marty Rhone plus a version of a song from Gilbert & Sullivan’s
operetta “Iolanthe” by the inimitable Todd Rundgren, who is currently touring
Australia......
