81. Gonna See My Bay Tonite by the La De Das 1970

3xy where No Wrinklies Fly. 1971 and I'm in my bedroom in Blackburn South listening to the radio when this record comes on and it sounds fantastic. I'm not a big fan of Australian rock. I look for stuff coming from England. But this is such a great song.
My bedroom is divided into my side. And my brother Steven's side. My side is covered top to bottom with rock posters. I'm a regular buyer of Go-Set and any posters on there go straight on the wall. So there's pictures of Creedence, the Beatles and the kinks but also Melanie & Janis Joplin. I didn't care. It was all music. Then there were my football pics like George Best and Bobby Charlton.
I lived in my bedroom after dinner time. Devouring music papers and listening to the radio. This was my world.
Dumb teenagers. Bored out of minds one summer afternoon we collected 30 dead flies and sent them to 3XY.
