A Head Full of Wishes

Greg commented on my blog to remind me that Dean's Best of Luna sleeve notes never made it into the European release (although we did get a whole extra CD so I can't complain) so here they are. My OCR software did an OK job but it still required a fair amount of massaging into [...]

Luna's show at The Cat's Cradle in Carrboro NC is currently being seeded on
bittorrent site www.dimeadozen.org (registration required)

Slide was the first track I heard Luna play live and, like so many tracks on Lunapark, it gives me a strange feeling of nostalgia in a way that none of the subsequent Luna albums do - I'm almost tempted to say that it sounds "dated" or "of it's time" but that might give the [...]

This is actually a vanity post pretending to be real! This is the credits from the only film I've ever been (and am ever likely to be) in the credit sequence of! My namecheck is 4 minutes and 8 seconds in if you don't wnat to watch the whole video
Obviously this is from [...]

There are a couple of Luna shows being re-seeded on Dimeadozen (registration required) right now. Two Chicago shows from the bands final tour - both excellent recordings and well worth a download.
This is a reseed of a really nice audience recording. I'm not the taper (his info below) just a bystander at the show. [...]

Moon in the Gutter has an excellent in-depth review of Tell Me Do You Miss Me Matthew Buzzell's film documenting Luna's last tour.
The film is also very funny and heartfelt. The four of them aren’t afraid to show emotion, and Buzzell isn’t afraid to show the humorous monotony of a rock band on the road. [...]

This is a different video for Lovedust from Luna's Romantica.
Directed and edited by Martina Broner it features rare studio footage shot during the Romantica sessions as well as backstage, soundcheck and live footage of the band.

You can see the art gallery Lovedust video here.
Thanks to Lee Wall for passing this on to me.

OK maybe this'll turn into a series or maybe that "#1" in the title will be redundant but here goes...
#1 Matt Quigley
Matt Quigley was Luna's (very) short-lived bassist filling the gap between Justin's "leave of absence" and Britta's appointment.
Previously of glam duo Vaganza purveyors of "elaborately arranged, ornate, bloated songs" Matt got the job in [...]

I just came across this video on YouTube of Luna performing Friendly Advice. I guess it was recorded for a TV show a long time ago...Sean has long hair and Justin and Stanley are in the band. It made me sad and happy simultaneously...There's a great moment about 3'20" in where Dean's soloing and Sean [...]

Matthew Buzzell's film of Luna's final tour Tell Me Do You Miss Me is still doing the rounds of international film festivals. In the coming weeks you will be able to see it at the Ashdod festival in Israel and the Revelation Film Festival in Perth, Western Australia
