Yes, right now it's 1:30 am and In sitting up in the spare bed watching Dean, Britta, and Roger playing Galaxie 500 songs thousands of miles away www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjw5...
Today is the 27th anniversary of the release of Luna's The Days of Our Nights. Dean called it "a bloated dud" in his memoir "Black Postcards, although he retracted that later - "That’s too unkind. There are some nice songs on it." www.instagram.com/p/DX4N7KEFQQn
I just noticed this was still "private" ... not any more sorry if you tried and failed earlier!
I've published a diary on Substack of the recent Dean Wareham and Dean & Britta shows in the north of England - there's a bit of crossover with last week's posts on AHFoW, but ... different pictures and more words. aheadfullofwishes.substack.com
Lovely evening last night with Dean & Britta in Durham -- ready for one more tonight in North Shields!
A sensational evening with Dean and Sea Power playing a set of Galaxie 500 songs ~ I was a little overcome by the end of it! #deanwareham #seapower #galaxie500
On this day in 1987 Galaxie 500 went into 6/8 Studios in New York and recorded seven songs, three of which made up the band's first demo tape ... so, if you think that when a band first gets something on tape is when it is born then today is Galaxie 500's birthday! open.substack.com/pub/aheadful...
Tomorrow at 8am PST one test pressing and a handful of deluxe edition sets of the new CBGB live album will be on Galaxie 500's Bandcamp! galaxie500.bandcamp.com

In today's Substack post I remember the Galaxie 500 Mailing List that came into life 30 years ago this week. You'll find me yearning for those simpler times like some tragic old geezer down the pub. We built all this by hand you know! aheadfullofwishes.substack.com/p/the-galaxi...

The next day Britta emailed me... "Last night was a perfect ending. Quite beautiful. Its been an honor and a pleasure to have been a member of Luna for 5 years...the best thing that's ever happened to me, really." (That's another of Franck's pics)
On this day 25 years ago Luna played their last gig - (pic by Franck Dewannieux) www.fullofwishes.co.uk/2015/02/28/n...

#OnThisDay 11 years ago Dean Wareham played at St Pancras Old Church, a show recorded for the live album on @soniccathedral.bsky.social . Hours beforehand I got an email from Dean in Stockport - "our train has been sitting on the tracks for 2 hours", thankfully the train & the band made it to London
I assume we're all adding our own "Go Dean!"s to the "A Peace of Us" version of "He's Coming Home" ~ I definitely am, it comes about here 👇
I've popped yesterday's Dean & Britta Instagram live set on YouTube so you can watch them the right way round ~ it was beautiful! youtu.be/7_myrS3Tw3Q?...
I was genuinely outside the PO in the pouring rain 20 minutes before it opened to pick up this beauty that's now getting a spin #DeanAndBritta #SonicBoom #APieceOfUs #Xmas
