My record collection: #064: The Squid and the Whale
Dean & Britta provided the soundtrack for Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale… although the album has only two of their tracks, plus Dean’s cover of Pink Floyd’s ‘Hey You’. I was expecting more! The Squid and the Whale...

My record collection: #060: Pee Shy - Yellow Race Car
Dean doesn’t often venture into production - this was an early outing, I think it was recorded at the same time as Pee Shy’s Who Let All The Monkeys Out album (which will turn up later in this series) and...

My record collection: #058: Dean Wareham - Luna demos

The Guardian on Slowcore with Dean Wareham

My record collection: #051: Dean Wareham - Anesthesia
Released in February 1992, just under a year after the heartbreaking break-up of Galaxie 500, Anesthesia was a balm to help soothe that wound. By the time the single was released Dean had formed Luna and a couple of weeks...

My record collection: #048: Shapir-O'Rama - El mundo de vapor Valentia (old Vienna)
To be honest I knew, back then, and know now, very little about Shapir-O’Rama. Dean Wareham appears on vocals on the final track on their first album El mundo de vapor Valentia (old Vienna) which came out in 1994. Shapir-O'Rama...

Dean Wareham interview for Clash

"No one sells music anymore so you sell concepts."

I quite enjoyed reading this interview with #DeanWareham covering #Galaxie500, #Luna and the struggles of writing. The interview was done by #ClashMagazine in connection with Dean's concert in London earlier this year – a show I somehow ended up watching from inside the merch booth.

My record collection: #024: Tuatara - East of the Sun (CD)

I've been listening to and blogging about my #AHFoW (#Galaxie500, #Luna, #LunaTheBand, #DamonAndNaomi, #DeanAndBritta, #DeanWareham, etc.) record collection since the beginning of the year - I'ver been posting two a week - at this rate I will complete the project on ... 23rd March 2026 (although hopefully there'll be some additions and that date will slip!)
