  • Bittorrent: Luna’s last Philadelphia show on Dimeadozen

    A very good recording of Luna’s last show in Philadelphia (at the Theatre of the Living Arts in December 2004) is currently being seeded on Dimeadozen (registration required).

  • Video: Luna - Dear Paulina
    Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

    OK - not the most gripping of videos but beautifully hypnotic all the same - well for me anyway. Seeing Dear Paulina “out there”…on someone else’s record deck makes me proud of the fact that I was once organised enough to see the release of it through…

  • Video: Luna live in Brazil 2001
    Friday, May 9th, 2008

    I came across these videos of Luna playing in Brazil a few weeks ago but forgot to post them here. They are from (I guess) a Brazilian TV show and features 11 live performances (intercut with offstage footage) and an interview from Luna’s show in Bela Horizonte in Brazil in 2001.

  • “Things I’d Rather Be Doing” interviews Dean Wareham
    Monday, May 5th, 2008

    Things I’d Rather Be Doing has an interview with Dean Wareham about Black Postcards…

  • MP3: Luna play Speedbumps on The World Cafe
    Friday, April 11th, 2008

    Rendezvous has plenty of great songs - IMO it’s not Luna’s best album but was a very fine swansong and in Speedbumps has a song that’ll very probably turn up in my top 6 Luna tracks list when I can be bothered to do one. From the first moment I heard it I was taken [...]

  • Stranded In Stereo gives an alternative view of “The Days of Our Nights”
    Friday, March 28th, 2008

    Stranded In Stereo has a cool post about The Days of Our Nights”, the album that Dean described (in Black Postcards) as “possibly the worst” of Luna’s albums (”It’s not for lack of trying that the fifth album is a bloated dud”). It has inspired me to give the album another listen…
    “Is that your [...]

    Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

    Here’s a cool snip of Luna finishing “Indian Summer” off at the Roxy in Valencia in October 1999. The video is shot from the side of the stage…
