One of my favorite chill Indie rock bands of all time is Luna. Described by Rolling Stone as “the best band you’ve never heard of,” Luna combine intricate guitar work, traditional rock rhythms, and poetic lyrics. Many know the leader Dean Wareham from Galaxie 500 and I used to discuss on the old DUAN which band was better with a few of the regulars there. We never really had a consensus though. Most agree though that Luna’s best album is the 1995 album Penthouse. The band split up officially in 2005 but Dean & Britta continued as a duo. In 2015 the band reunited for a tour and put out a new album in 2017.
They are a big hit on local radio station KEXP where they did a live in studio performance of Malibu Love Nest.
and again in 2018 on KEXP with Sideshow by the Seashore
This song from Penthouse has the most fun lyrics! Hedgehog
They were touring after that until this whole music shutdown.
They put out a socially distant cover of Television’s track Marquee Moon in August that is pretty cool…
Thanks for your support of DUAN & Deadsplinter. Welcome to all the new Ohana!
Frankie Goes to Hollywood – Lunar Bay
Pylon – Four Minutes
Weird Al – One More Minute
I’m not doing anything different than I’ve done every other time I post on DUAN, so why the hell doesn’t it display today?
Some videos will not embed because of user settings. I swapped it out for another one.
For Luigi since I wasn’t around last night…..
The note at 4:00 is sheer perfection. The greatest recorded guitar note of all time:
I have to admit that Emily makes me tear up a little:
And I find a raw, dark beauty in this:
Beautiful.
I have your midnight moon, your midday moon, and your morning moon!
Midnight Moon is some tasty gouda.
The Midnight Moon is pretty terrific.
Love And Rockets – Haunted When the Minutes Drag
Peter Murphy – Time Has Got Nothing to Do With It
Telstar Ponies – In The Space Of A Few Minutes
Love Echo & The Magnetic Fields! This song I always found haunting…
Stephin Merritt’s baritone is one I truly envy.
And I’ve got the sworn affidavits to prove it.
…one for the moon
…one for the indie thing
…& then there’s bruxelles
Awesome stuff RIP! Love the Indie tune but that last Starflam song sounds like they either sampled or are using the lead singer from Zap Mama, which would make sense since they are from Belgium? Very cool…
…I think it’s the same lady…but I have some friends who’d know for sure?
lol…little surprised to find this one on youtube
me dad used to mention theres a band named brussel sprout whenever they were on the menu…
