Technicolour Dreaming

Another episode of Technicolour Dreaming, with the usual mix of old and new, Australian, American and European psychedelia of various styles. Rather than prattle on here, I think I’ll just let the music and pictures do the talking this week … though I was intrigued by what the translation would be of the second track I played, by French band Dansez Avec Moa (Dance of the Moa). So thanks to my handy translator, I’ve found that it is: “The French are Calves [Well Well! I Commend You - Pfut , Pfut , Pfut]”. So now you know…. …and here is the playlist, with associated visuals - and apologies for the formatting - the blog is just not in a co-operative mood this week!

Technicolour Dreaming

There was a definite German flavour to the show this week, with Vibravoid, Klaus Nomi, and Can featuring (lots and lots of Can, certainly more of an airing than ever before, and very likely, ever again!) The latter two bands were choices of fill-in co-host Mike G, who certainly put a different spin on the second half of Technicolour Dreaming! A smattering of local Adelaide bands also featured, with The Dunes, Wild Rocket, Blood Plastic and an old but good one from Nuvo Bloc thrown in for good measure. The rest of the show was the usual mix of old and new from round the world … and following the Australian Playboys’ “Sad” with The Social Outcasts’ “Mad” was totally unintentional!
