A Head Full of Wishes

 
Dean & Britta @ The Metro (pictures)

Dean(originally uploaded by grange85) Dean & Britta week I’ll write up a proper review tomorrow – I’m too knackered now – it was rather wonderful… stacks of red photos on Flickr

 
Lifted #1 - Blow Up

Dean & Britta week I’m pretty sure that all the promo pictures for Back Numbers have been inspired by similar photos from the past – the only one I recognise for certain is this one from Antonioni’s (over-rated) style (and precious little else) flick Blow Up If anyone recognises any of the others (there’re quite [...]

 
You like the shoes I wear #11 - Britta Phillips

Dean & Britta week Dean & Britta @ Luna Lounge(originally uploaded by tammylo) I was looking for pictures of Britta wearing those knee high boots she seems to wear quite often – most notably in all the promo shots for Back Numbers. But then I came across this sweet picture of Britta wearing some sweet [...]

 
You like the shoes I wear #3 - Naomi Yang of Damon & Naomi

Damon_and_Naomi(originally uploaded by PtolemyPhil) …and what could be more sensible than a pair of wellies, under appropriate circumstances of course… No.3 Naomi Yang in her green wellies.

 

It’s been (almost) two and a half years since I last saw Luna – I miss them – and since about 1989 there haven’t been too many gaps that long when I haven’t seen Dean Wareham on a London stage either as part of Galaxie 500 or Luna. So I am very excited to hear [...]

 

Britta Phillips & Dean Wareham‘s MySpace blog has a roundup of their west coast tour… The Getty show was full (about 450 people), but we’d been warned beforehand that there are always members who come to every show and leave after a few songs. Luckily Jack Black (Tenacious D) stayed for our set even though [...]

 
Galaxie 500’s 20th birthday

It just kind of clicked that August 29th is Galaxie 500‘s 20th birthday. Anyone fancy a party? Here’s the poster for their first show as lifted from the booklet that came with Galaxie 500 – Galaxie 500

 

A Head Full of Wishes (the web site) has spread it’s wings and now also exists as… A Head Full of Wishes (the last.fm group) and A Head Full of Wishes (the Flickr group) So there’s new places to satisfy obsession with Galaxie 500, Luna, Damon & Naomi, Britta Phillips & Dean Wareham and anything [...]

 

I love when things I love like comics and music overlap so seeing this in Drawn and Quarterly or a Galaxy [sic] 500 poster in Craig Thompson’s “Blankets” will always give me a buzz (sad huh?).

 
A Head Full of Wishes: Britta Phillips on Tell Me Do You MissMe

A Head Full of Wishes has been my (internet) pride and joy for eleven years now but the “original” and “exclusive” content has been pretty limited so I’m quite proud of having Q&A interviews with all the former members of Luna showing up over the next few weeks – first up is Britta talking about [...]
