Dean Wareham: I remember looking at dirty magazines, probably around age 10, and being aroused by photos of [...]

Philadelphia Weekly’s music blog Make Major Moves has just posted part one of a long Q&A with Dean Wareham. Mostly discussing the writing process and content of Black Postcards…
I think at a certain point I realized that several people are going to be upset by this and by that, and if I went back and [...]

Dean seems to have moved his blog from deanandbritta.com to the couple’s iLike page (although I suspect crossposting back to the official site and MySpace). In the latest post he blogs about food, upcoming shows and Zabriskie Point…

Decider New York has a short interview with Dean Wareham touching on fans, fatherhood and drug taking…

Being a memoir by a musician, my book, Black Postcards, does cover a lot of musical ground, beginning with early memories like “Georgy Girl” by [...]

Another post on Dean’s blog over at deanandbritta.com covers a lot of subject matter so I won’t try and rehash it here but sugeest you head over there to get the latest news…I will put in an extract just to make this item seem a little more substantial…
Thursday night I went to the premiere and [...]

There’s a nice in depth review of “13 Most Beautiful” over at Movie Morlocks the official TCM movies blog. Although they sadly failed to get Britta’s name right…
Wareham and Murphy [sic] are, hands down, the ideal collaborators for this project as their music has always had a dreamy, drug-induced quality, even in their new incarnation [...]
