Three D Radio's Top 100+1

Technicolour Dreaming had a rest this week, as it was time for Three D Radio's Top 100+1 countdown, which is held on the Australia Day public holiday each year, and features 12 hours of the most-played new releases for 2015, and interviews with local bands. Three D announcers get to choose the music that they play, as there are no set playlists, so the countdown features a very diverse range of musical styles, and a very high proportion of local Adelaide artists. 

So it was into this musical maelstrom that I was thrown, with co-announcer Jamie (from Thursday's excellent drive-time show "Follow the Sound") at the controls, to interview 11 of the 16 bands that fell into our 2-4pm time-slot. Much chaos and hilarity ensued, with a revolving door of musicians coming and going - before we knew it, our 2 hours was over, and it was time for a well deserved beer!

I've included clips for as many of the Adelaide bands that I can find - some aren't for the song that we played, but will give you an idea of their style of music. Enjoy!

And for the full listing of the chart, as well as photos of the fun and mayhem had by all at the Top 100+1, take a look at Three D Radio's Facebook page . Thanks also to Spoz, ranter about Adelaide music extraordinaire, for a couple of the clips that I've used this week.

And to finish things off, here's a photo of a very sun-burnt Megan Cat, and the back of Jamie's head, interviewing The Clangers. Thanks to Michael Hunter for the picture!
