Another recording pulled out from the not enough I have of Galaxie 500.

In 1991 Galaxie 500 headed out on what was to be their last tour of the US supporting The Cocteau Twins. This recoding is from the second night at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and was probably a couple of nights after [...]

Galaxie 500 are the subject of the Over/Under in Magnet Magazine picking out five ‘over-rated’ and five ‘under-rated’ tracks. Nonsense of course! Anyone who even suggests that Snowstorm could be over-rated…

Galaxie 500 have been selected to be a part of a collection of specially designed memorabilia celebrating “a visual narrative of 20 years (1977-1997) of punk, new wave and indie rock.” Artist Mike Perry has created a design for each of 10 bands which will be screenprinted onto T-shirts, bags and signed posters.

I’ll post the content winners this evening – so if you want to enter you still can – and [...]

About a year ago I set the challenge for someone to take a picture that proved that the Empire State building was no bigger than a nickel – the challenge was met with tumbleweed – so…
I have a bunch of duplicate CDs from various Track & Field lucky dips (incl. The Clientele, Mahogony etc) I’ve [...]

The last post was hastily chucked together before work yesterday so here’s a bit more detail on the Galaxie 500 vinyl resissues. The vinly is described as being “Super Deluxe” although I haven’t managed to identify what this entails but the More Sad Hits reissue was very lovely so I have no reason to believe [...]
