A Head Full of Wishes

Sean Eden emailed to fill me in on the details of the Luna track Westbound and Down that I came across earlier in the week - here's what he had to say...
[It] was something i agreed to do for a friend in Austin Texas, who came to Luna shows and threw some good parties. His [...]

OK, so it's probably a bit arrogant but I really had an idea that this site (and therefore I) pretty much knew all there was to know about Luna and their published work (or at least from 1994/5 onwards) so when I came across a track I knew nothing about this morning I felt a [...]

Tell Me Do You Miss Me, the film documenting Luna's last tour will be screened at the Revolve Film & Music Festival in North Carolina. The film will show at the Salem Fine Arts Center on the 9th of August at 8pm, and will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Matthew Buzzell and ex-Luna [...]

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).

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...

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.

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 [...]

This is just a reminder that Kiek is still flooding Dimeadozen with Luna shows - here's a list of the shows he's done so far...
