1989 to 2009
I’m halfway through reading Black Postcards, a memoir by Dean Wareham. I’ve been a fan of Luna since I heard my older brother playing “California (all the way)” but only recently started listening to Galaxie 500 albums in full. What intrigues me about BP is the unique perspective one gets from being a front man in a somewhat famous band in the late 80s. Sending demo tapes to labels, calling clubs to get gigs. No internet or file transferring! No myspace or lastfm to get fans interested. It’s hard to fathom.
