Dean and Andyoriginally uploaded by moley75 I’ve just finished Dean Wareham’s book – for a fan it is a slightly frustrating gem of a read – it’s written in an easy casual style with Dean’s dry wit recognisable from 20 years of listening to his lyrics.

I created a Flickr group to collect all the pictures of Britta singing You Turned My Head Around just because I wanted to look at a slideshow of them. How sad am I? The answer is “very”. All the pictures are in the group pool – Photo credits: 1. Dean and Britta at the El [...]

There was a time in between Galaxie 500 splitting up (in 1991) and us getting the Internet (late 1993 or early 94 I’d guess [1]) when I thought I was the only Galaxie 500 fan in the world. Occasionally a journalist (normally Everett True) might drop their name into an article but otherwise it was [...]

Sometime in the Autumn of 2004 I put forward the idea of a tribute album to the members of the Galaxie 500 Mailing List and a bunch of excellent contributions trickled in over the next few months…the plan was to put out a proper CD in a nice two colour package sometime in the spring [...]
