I had a spare, square frame that nothing would fit into so I built a celebration of the first copy of Everything's Swirling, the Galaxie 500 fanzine from 2017. You can download a pdf version over here if you haven't seen it, and want to

“Moon Palace” is one of my favorite Luna songs. It features a great guitar solo by Tom Verlaine. [...] Tom liked to work late so it really didn’t matter. He’d come in at 10pm and work for hours [...] Whatever he’s doing, you know it’s him immediately. He’s a unique player, which I think is the highest compliment you can pay a musician really.

My record collection: Pierre Etoile

So, here’s the first random entry from my record collection and, in what will probably turn out to be an unusual turn of events, I can actually remember where I bought this one. On 8th April 1991, three days after... #PierreEtoile #DamonAndNaomi #MyRecordCollection

I've decided to start blogging about my "Galaxie 500 and related bands" record/CD collection. If I do one a week it'll take me well into 2027, so I'll try to be quicker! Here's my intro post - the first record will be posted on Friday...

Advent Calendar - 05 - Dean & Britta - He's Coming Home / Old Toy Trains

People who know me will understand how hard this was for me to not put this behind door 24! It's an absolute beauty of a single put out in Chimney Rocks! records in 2007 and features a Sonic Boom remix of Old Toy Trains

This week a new Noah Baumbach film is landing on Netflix and the soundtrack features a new song, The Cloud is Coming, by Dean & Britta.

This continues an unbroken relationship with Baumbach that goes back to Highball and Mr Jealousy in 1997.

Dean described the song as " a paranoid song about the billowing toxic cloud, the downing of KAL 007, experiments with chimpanzees "

Been listening (as I often do) to the Dean Wareham / Cheval Sombre album of cowboy songs - so today's drawing that doesn't quite look like who it's supposed to is a scribbly Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo...

A while back the nice folk at Poetic Justice magazine asked if I’d compile my top 10 Galaxie 500 songs. After the initial thrill of being asked I suddenly realised what a ridiculous task it was trying to condense Galaxie 500’s catalogue down to 10 songs… but I tried, and you can see my top 10 and my thoughts and reasoning over at Poetic Justice.

Not sure that this platform knows what I'm about (yet) but it's mostly this...

Damon & Naomi playing Galaxie 500 in London in 2019 ... the last time they were over here - it's been much too long!
