Gig Review: Luna (September 23, Wgtn)
Luna MOON Tuesday, September 23 Sometimes you get that feeling – you’re in the right place, it’s the right time, and everyone around you is there to celebrate too. That’s the power of a really great gig, nostalgia gets a bad rap but it’s a big part of how we think and what we feel […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 819
Luna, Bewitched (1994) This was the Luna album I knew the best – so when I heard they were reforming and visiting Wellington this was the one I returned to. Played what was left of the CD a bit – scratched/fingerprints, one of very few CDs I have held on to for far too long and […]Archive

Stubs: # 45 – 13 Most Beautiful, Wellington, 2010

Because it was simple – it was essentially Dean and Britta (ie Dean Wareham of Galaxie 500/Luna and Britta, his wife, also of Luna) and the music they had created for […]Archive

Dean Wareham: Dean Wareham
Dean Wareham Dean Wareham Double Feature There aren’t many who can boast the consistency of Dean Wareham; certainly not from anyone who has been in the game as long as he has – through Galaxie 500, Luna, Dean & Britta and across soundtrack work and now a (belated) solo career. But boast is one thing […]Archive

Dean Wareham: Emancipated Hearts
Dean Wareham Emancipated Hearts Double Feature From Galaxie 500 to Luna to Dean & Britta and then from under that moniker a range of soundtracks and soundscapes, Dean Wareham has covered some ground – while essentially mining versions of the same sound – for a quarter of a century. So it’s strange to finally hear […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1801
Galaxie 500, This Is Our Music (1990) I bought this a couple of years ago – I’d enjoyed some Galaxie 500 and I had really enjoyed Dean Wareham’s book, Black Postcards. Also, I was interviewing Dean about his 13 Most Beautiful show. The album was a handy reference – as well as, you know, a […]Archive
