Image swiped from this Hazelwood fansite A couple of months back on the Galaxie 500 Mailing List we were discussing the great Lee Hazlewood, who passed away yesterday. This is what I had to say back then… The second Nancy & Lee album “Again” was played a lot while I was growing up – “Did [...]
(OK reading this back it sounds like the smug ramblings of a backstage ligger – but having written them out I may as well publish!) Over the 12 years of the Galaxie 500 Mailing List I have trotted out the same old memories time and time again so I thought I’d use my last.fm journal [...]
I love hearing (and seeing!) folk covering Luna or Galaxie 500 and while this might not be as weird as Tugboat on a steel drum it’s a very nice cover of Luna’s Anesthesia. The YouTube page has guitar tab and lyrics and mendi244 has done stacks of other cool covers for your enjoyment (although as [...]
Twice during Tuesday night’s show at The Metro I started to video a Dean & Britta performance and twice I thought “bollocks” and put my camera away – it was too much of a treat to ruin my enjoyment by standing still and holding my camera as carefully as possible. So you never got videos [...]
Dean Wareham(originally uploaded by grange85) Dean & Britta week Dean and Britta only played this one Luna song over the two London shows (although not counting Bonnie & Clyde and Indian Summer might be cheating a little). That’s not a complaint, I got two very good (if a little short) D&B shows which is more [...]

Dean’s shoes(originally uploaded by grange85) Dean & Britta week I like these shoes – like the photo they were black and white and I fancied hunting a pair down for myself – but maybe getting shoes like Dean Wareham might be taking the fan thing just a little bit far… #12 Dean Wareham and his [...]
Dean & Britta week Dean and Britta clearly lifted the video for their single Words You Used to Say from the video for Serge Gainsbourg’s Melody from his smutty 1971 classic Histoire de Melody Nelson Melody Words
Dean & Britta week Wed 20 Jun – Britta Phillips & Dean Wareham, The Clientele, Flowers Of Hell Lots more dark pictures on Flickr I sort of wish that nights like this weren’t so cluttered – maybe it’s a treat for some to see four bands in a night but when you have to fit [...]
Dean & Britta week I have to admit that I have always found it very difficult to be critical about anything that Dean Wareham has done…I might, for example, comment on how The Days of Our Nights was Luna‘s worst album but in reality I listen to "Days…" pretty regularly and like it a lot. [...]
