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.

During 1994 Luna took to performing the John Lennon track “Hold On”. This version is from a 1994 KCRW radio session. The complete session is currently being seeded on Dimeadozen. John Lennon’s original was released on his first solo album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970)

I have to admit that I never really noticed Black Postcards as a stand-out track on Luna’s penultimate album Romantica. But live, on the band’s final tour in 2004/5 the song really came into its own.
This version is from the Friday night show of thier final weekend at The Bowery Ballroom and clocks in at [...]

I guess on their last flit around the world Luna popped into radio studios all along the way. This performance of Malibu Love Nest (which was their show opener during most of the final tour) is from Philadelphia and was recorded as they passed through the city on their farewell tour in December 2004 and [...]
