try that again

car easy!!!

band, no question.

Years ago, I shared a flat in Sydney with Dean's brother. They both grew up in New Zealand before moving to USA.

I think Dean actually spent more time in Sydney than NZ on the whole.. though they still happily claim im with that whole birthing thing. But yes.. the band takes my vote.. they can be my tugboat captain.

i wouldn't know about the car but the band are great. On fire is one of my favourite albums.

Genius band...so, band for sure. old cars are a pain in the arse.

can't i just have both?

they did

4th of July & Tugboat have gotta be 2 of the best songs ever

The Band most definitely

exactly.

was there ever a lovelier song written about a car than Blue Thunder? I don't think so.

Galaxie 500, brrrroom brrrooomm.

Pop Will Eat My Blog recently featured the Blue Thunder 12" - you know, the one with the cover of Ceremony....

isn't naomi wearing great tights in that photo above?

i like their 3 chord early stuff better than anything else they or dean did later.

there's a good dvd of late 80s college concerts

this is our music for mine.

so fucking beautiful...

is this a serious question??!!

listen the snow is falling...

i love you yoko...

yup.

have said it before on here, i had to stop myself in jb once from buying $150+ of yoko records all in one punch. think it was the best thing too.

maybe one at a time, but not all at once...

one of the only 'seminal' bands on earth who broke up and respective members went on to projects with absolutely no redeeming features. (yes i just paid indirect props to latter-era oasis... to the shower!) the juxtaposition is just a small feather in a plumage-based hat. or a chicken.

the 7'' sounds great to my ears

thanks devines

yeah same times as last night.

sand pebbles 8.30
dean 9.30

only a handful of 7''s left sydney people...

someone forgot to number the singles! i made my copy #1

Maybe they dropped too much acid.

They're fucking shit anyway. I got everyone in the van one in the U.S and we put on Strange and ate our twinkies. Not worth it

GOOD STORY.

I regret not going now, because I thought I would be really disappointed as I'm more inclined towards D+N than Dean. Saw D+N about eight years ago in Los Angeles and they were fantastic.

Yeah, for me, Galaxie 500 is more about Naomi's bass. But Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500 is the closet thing to the real Galaxie 500 live.

My preference of Galaxie 500 related acts:
Damon & Naomi -> Dean & Britta -> Magic Hour -> Luna

The Sonic Boom mix is predictable but nice. The hole of the 7'' is pretty small. I had a hardtime putting it on my turntable.

A recording of the Melbourne show is online over here: http://fanmaderecordings.blogspot.com/

really enjoyed last night, took a while for the band to settle in I thought, but by the end was loving it. The final encore of ‘Ceremony’ was sublime.

A good night out....and came home with a 7’, too funny they forgot to number them, what number shall I give myself?!

you can be 2

I am 0

Melb show was clearer, Syd was louder. Both had their own charms. Was so great to just drift off on the clouds as the music played. Lots of love in the room both nights.

If I had $, I would fly to Sydney for it too. The show in Brooklyn was much louder. Was Dean less Jetlag on day 2?

He always seems so relaxed I can't tell.

The amazing The Wall Live House (Taiwan) made this video for the ''Galaxie 500'' show.
