[290] Galaxie 500 - Subterania, London - 1989 (CDR) Back in 2012, Lori got in touch with me and over the course of a few weeks sent me some absolutely lovely Galaxie 500 stuff - some of which I wrote about in a previous post in this series. A few weeks later this CDR of Galaxie 500’s show at Subterania in London in 1989 arrived.

Can't argue with that. Pretty close to what my list would look like! Thanks for doing that!

[289] Dean & Britta - A Gift / Homeward Bound (8”) This lovely lathe cut 8” single by Dean & Britta was released as a gift to PIAPTK’s Patreon supporters although a few copies turned up in Dean & Britta’s online store. I was hoping Dean was going to bring some copies to the UK on his recent tour but unfortunately not, so I asked if he could send me a copy… which of course he did! It arrived last week…

[287] The Shimmy Disc Compilation Volume 1 (VHS) Another VHS, and now that I actually have a VHS player one I can actually sit down and watch… although, of course because someone has been kind enough to digitise the whole thing and pop it onto YouTube - it’s easier to do that.

There are only so many Lou Reed songs left for Dean Wareham to cover. Eventually he’ll have to do “Like a Possum.”
