Technicolour Dreaming

Just when you think that the recent spate of musical heroes departing this earth has abated, along comes a very big lightning bolt from the blue - David Bowie has joined them. Not a promising start for the year, but a fitting reason to re-listen to Bowie's collected works, and play some favourites on the radio. Indeed, on the day in question, by the time 1pm had rolled around, there had been a massive 29 Bowie tracks aired, with not a single repetition amongst them! Just goes to show that Bowie's different stylistic twists and turns appealed to a very wide range of fans over the years. Sadly, so many inspirational musicians are approaching an age where their mortality is becoming more and more apparent - as a friend recently wrote, someone should go find Keith Richards and roll him up in bubble-wrap, pronto!

Technicolour Dreaming

Quite a diverse show this week - close to home, there were new singles from Perth's Wheelers of Oz and Melbourne's The Creeping Bam, proving that psychedelia in Australia is still well and truly alive and relevant, plus a re-release from The Monocles, later known as The Higher Elevation, famous in their latter form for the much comped "Spider and the Fly" - that squeaky "help me" fro the fly makes my heart melt for the little insect every time! Added to that, a couple of reasonably recent Fruits de Mer releases from the Soft Hearted Scientists and Ex Norwegian, and tracks from Poland, Finland, Rhode Island, Miami Beach, Houston, San Francisco and of course, my hometown, Adelaide...we try to be as inclusive as we can - but the music dictates!!

Technicolour Dreaming

It was the Radiothon ’14 edition of Technicolour Dreaming this week – chaos abounded with the phones ringing, the picking and organising of ‘bribe-to-subscribe’ giveaways, subscribers coming into the station, payments being made, volunteers running about and, unusually for us, lots of air-breaks and chatter and.... did I mention chaos? But it was all in a good cause – our annual Radiothon where we ask listeners to help keep us on-air by becoming valued 3D Radio subscribers! We won’t go into all the details – you can go to the 3D Radio website here and see how to pay [yes we do PayPal], the form to fill out, what you get for your bucks [including this year’s DepthCharge CD compilation which ONLY subscribers are given] and details of the major prizes you are in the running for when you do subscribe - all for the low price of $60.... it doesn’t matter if you live in Adelaide or Athens, the USA or Uruguay, anyone can be a 3D Radio subscriber and help us keep this unique music community radio station broadcasting every day of every week, and of course letting us, the Cat and the Brat, play all the wonderfully diverse psychedelia [and associated obscurities] that we love to share with you every Tuesday afternoon on this show.
