A Head Full of Wishes

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 [...]

"Is that your [...]

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...

Luna, final show, after partyoriginally uploaded byHidden Picts

Now I know that three years isn't one of those meaningful anniversaries but it popped into my head that today was the third anniversary of Luna's last show - so here's the the final two songs of the last show - you can hear the emotion through the [...]

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 [...]
