A Head Full of Wishes

Dean & Britta have provided a remix of the track International Velvet Theme to The Right Track: Tunes to Target Cancer which is “a series of concerts, events, and music download[s ...] to help raise funds for rare and underfunded cancers”. The series also includes tracks by Ween, Linda Thompson, Buffalo Tom and The Cowbly [...]

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 [...]

Damon & Naomi have returned from their “Lost Gaijin Tour” and have updated their web page with a few words about it as well as news of a couple of special dates for the end of January in NYC and Boston.
The two dates will feature Damon & Naomi playing with Kurihara and will also include [...]

Dean & Britta are giving away a download of their lovely Christmas single from a couple of years ago. He’s Coming Home was originally released as a 7″ single on Chimney Rocks! Records but now is available in digital form from Dean & Britta in return for your email address. Head over to the He’s [...]

Luna stopped off in Manchester for this session on Mark Radcliffe’s BBC Radio 1 show on the 13th December 1995. I remember staying up to record this. I went through my box of cassettes a while ago to try and find it but couldn’t track it down, which is a shame as I remember the [...]

Guitrarrorists was a compilation of solo guitar pieces curated by Kramer and released on No.6 Records in 1991. Contributions came from such indie lumninaries as Thurston Moore, Steve Albini and J Mascis. I listened to the whole album a few weeks back and must admit I found it mostly heavy going.
Dean Wareham’s contribution is this [...]

I don’t have many recordings of Damon & Naomi – at most gigs since this one in 2001 my taping buddy hasn’t been able to tape for various reasons (and had one failure – and doesn’t come out so often these days). This was a great show, support had come from The Clientele (first or [...]

Back in the early 90s I used to record shows until I realised that often I was worrying more about the recording and not enjoying the show as much as I should. I recorded two Luna shows, their first one in London in 1992 (my first recording with my new Walkman Pro and I had [...]

I’ve just been re-reading Black Postcards and Galaxie 500 are breaking up again… and it’s making me sad again… maybe sadder than my first read through. Anyway in amongst all that sniping and bitteness Dean describes their festival tour of Europe in 1990. In his description of their appearance at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark [...]

OK – a ridiculously long post so skip to the end if you’re just here to leech a couple of Luna rarities!
In Summer 1997 I had this half-baked idea to release a kind of Beatles Fan Club single only with Galaxie 500 rather than The Beatles. I had no idea, when I kicked off, just [...]
