Technicolour Dreaming

Amongst the new music we played this week were tracks from Melbourne’s Flyying Colours, Russia’s Polska Radio One and Nikola Tesla & Thee Coils, the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the new solo single from Higher State bassist Paul Messis. We raided our library for some 60’s coolness by the likes of Music Machine and the Monks and while we were there, played a set of French bands, new and old, including tracks by Evariste and Sheetah et les Weismüller plus lots more. So until next week.....

Technicolour Dreaming

Before we begin, the Cat and the Brat would like to thank fellow 3D Radio announcers “harry” and Michael for stepping into the breach and doing the past couple of shows for us with such panache – great music from both of you! And while we were away, of course, a big pile of new releases awaited us at the P.O., only some of which we were able to fit into this week’s show, so look out for lots of new music in the weeks to come. But back to this show!  We started with a track for the long-anticipated new album from Finland’s veteran psychedelecists Octopus Syng, newly released on the UK’s “Mega Dodo” record company, who also put out the “Barnburner” split-EP by Mordecai Smyth and Icarus Peel. We also celebrated the “Fruits de Mer” vinyl-only label’s “Crabstock 2014” series of shows in the USA, Finland and Wales by playing tracks by some of the featured artists such as the Luck of Eden Hall, Sendelica and Sky Picnic as well as a few selections from the FdM back-catalogue. Add to these the usual mix of 60’s goodness by the likes of Procession, the Sorrows, Iceland’s legendary Thor’s Hammer and the Pretty Things, some proto-punk from Zolar X and the Dictators and new music from Holy Wave, Pinkunoizu and Night Beats plus much more, and it’s Technicolour Dreaming for another week......

Technicolour Dreaming

For the final show for 2011 we played a selection of our favourite music, new and old... pretty much your regular Technicolour Dreaming really! We roamed from the new Horrors album to the debut from Adelaide’s Systemaddicts, from the psychedelic harmonies of Mikal Cronin to the garage brilliance of Clinic and from a Rolling Stones gem to a great version of a ‘wormy’ classic by Adelaide’s brillig. We also paid tribute to the late Sean Bonniwell... the Music Machine were one of the great bands of the 60’s, precursors of punk dressed in black and leather, who did the ‘one-gloved-hand’ thing way before that Jackson guy! We also featured a track from our newest boxset (though it was released in 2009)... a very groovy collection by the Dukes of Stratosphear [i.e. XTC in psychedelic disguise] packaged in purple velour and including a jigsaw puzzle... what better holiday gift could we get ourselves! And in finishing with the last pick from the current “band of the month”, Paul Revere and the Raiders, we bid our listeners/readers [i.e. YOU] a “Happy New Year” and we look forward to bringing you more great music in 2012...
