Mr. Dean Wareham checks in with this week's edition of the Stupefied playlist...there aren't too many rock musicians who have been involved with so many likeable projects over a similarly lengthy period of time, but Dean is one of them. From the early days of Galaxie 500, to Luna, to his current project, Dean & Britta, Dean has always carried on with a consistent quality control based on his obvious love for the more tuneful & mellower material by the Velvet Undergound. Not only that, but he's also the author of one of the more unexpected & interesting [...]

Nancy and Lee By The Way was written by Lee Hazlewood and released on Country, My Way by Nancy Sinatra (I guess the album title's a little nod to her dad?). Cagney and Lacee first released it as on the b-side of their 73 single Time on No.6 Records and then later on the Six Feet of Chain album. Another track that doesn't seem to have made it to the free bits of the Internet but you can check it out on Spotify... MP3: [...]

• Cagney and Lacee - By the Way

Frank Yang It seems ages ago, but early 2002 was still an era where the magazine was still a vital medium for music reviews and general discovery; I still clearly recall a live writeup in issue 49 of The Big Takeover wherein editor Jack Rabid gave Ken Stringfellow a glowing review for a show at New York's Mercury Lounge on September 20, 2001, and how it served as a powerful musical anodyne for those in need of some healing just a week after the World Trade Center attacks. It was [...]

Last night at Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James performed the music from his new solo album Regions Of Light And Sound Of God . Questlove and Allison Brie ( Community , Mad Men ) were both in attendance and watched form the side of the stage. James, who was preceded by Dean Wareham as an opener, concluded the show with a My Morning Jacket encore. Kenny Sun was there to capture the action. [...]

photos by PSquared Photography Jim James @ MHOW, 2/19/2013 My Morning Jacket's Jim James , who released his first solo album earlier this month , played a sold-out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (2/19) with Dean & Britta opening. It was the first of two NYC area dates (a sold-out McKittrick Hotel gig goes down tonight, 2/20). In addition to the songs from Regions of Light and Sound of [...]

OK - a little late with this one but Dean Wareham is playing tonight at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn supporting Jim James (or My Morning Jacket) - the site says "sold out" so this post is mostly saying if you're lucky enough to have tickets, get there early. The lovely Backstage Rider has a post with little teases about upcoming solo albums by Dean and Britta (two already recorded for Dean... I have pretty much recorded two full albums, one produced by Jim James (My Morning Jacket) in [...]

Dean Wareham de Galaxie 500 lanzará álbum solista producido por Jim James Dean Wareham , fundador de Galaxie 500 , regresa este 2013 y quiere hacerlo por dos caminos. Si hasta ahora no había estado en solitario puesto que, tras la disolución de Luna , siempre había compartido el escenario con Britta Philips , su esposa, este año han preparado material en solitario que, por supuesto, tienen entre si. "Prácticamente he grabado dos discos completos", dijo Wareham a Backstage Rider . "Uno producido por Jim [...]

As husband and wife,  Dean Wareham and Britta Philips' projects are numerous and overlapping: Galaxie 500, Dean Wareham plays Galaxie 500, Luna, Dean & Britta, Dean & Britta’s Dean Wareham and Luna, Dean & Britta’s Britta Phillips. After some time away from the road, the two have prepped new solo material that will, of course, feature each other. “I have pretty much recorded two full albums," Wareham told Backstage Rider . "One produced by Jim James (My Morning Jacket) in Louisville, Kentucky, the other produced by Jason Quever (Papercuts) in San Francisco. At some [...]

The one thing that helps a gal survive a quiet winter gig season - or being housebound in Toronto looking after BackstageRider The Elder - is knowing that somewhere, somehow, some of my favourite people are making new music that I might hear this year. And it's even better if they're married, and played in two bands together, but are now making separate solo albums. Three of them. Enter Galaxie 500/Luna/Dean & Britta's Dean Wareham and Luna/Dean & Britta's Britta Phillips. Dean & Britta have spent [...]

This cover of Beat Happening's Indian Summer turned up on a 73 single given away with issue #7 of Chemical Imbalance and was recorded while Galaxie 500 were still a going concern. I don't think it gets a mention in Black Postcards (although I don't have a searchable version as yet - a Kindle issue would be nice sometime - particularly as my hardback is falling apart - a good fan would have taken more care of his signed copy!). Damon mentioned it in the Ptolemaic Terrascope interview but only in [...]

OK, to be honest I'm not too sure of what's on the horizon but to break the silence here's a little of what I do know... Damon & Naomi are playing a couple of dates at the end of January in Europe with Richard Youngs. Firstly they're at Cafe Oto in London on 26th of January and then they'll be playing the MO'FO festival in Paris on the 27th. Naomi has been working on more film projects and some sneak preview stills have turned up on facebook [...]

Dean Wareham will be in Spain this week promoting the release of Postales Negras, the Spanish translation of Black Postcards. He'll be at FNAC, Calloa, Madrid on Friday evening at 19:30 and at Botiga FNAC El Triangle, in Barcelona on Saturday evening at 19:00. He posted on Facebook that he'll be Reading and playing a few songs

Hace unas semanas Triángulo de Amor Bizarro y Sonic Boom se encerraron en el Red Bull Studio de Madrid para grabar un par de canciones. Un sueño cumplido por la gran influencia que ha ejercido sobre ellos durante su realización como músicos. Esta colaboración es el cuarto Artist Encounters, la serie cuyo concepto reside en unir a artistas de diferentes estilos para crear música durante sesiones en el Red Bull Studio y que ya ha contado con las uniones de Sidonie y ToteKing, Daedelus y Sunny Graves, Ron Trent y José Rico. Ahora las [...]

It appears that Black Postcards has just been (or is about to be) published en Español by new independent publisher Libros de Ruido (which Google translates as Noise Books). More details for those who can read Spanish can be found on the publishers Tumblr , and copies can be ordered from here . I rather like the cover Postales Negras by Dean Wareham

Photo by Jasmine Safaeian, Filter Last week the Culture Collide music festival returned to Echo Park, Los Angeles. The third annual Filter Magazine event produced a four days of non-stop music by emerging talent from around the globe. Team-B3SCI were on the grounds making all the rounds to venues, parking lots, champaign rooms... you name it! Below is a collection of some favorite first-hand accounts from our troops on the ground. _____________________________ THURSDAY October 4, 2012 _____________________________ [...]

The world of festivals for the most part have become overpriced and homogenized, providing nearly identical experiences across the country, sometimes you can enjoy a twin of the spring festival you went to again in late summer, sometimes in the same city. The first year of Coachella, which is what they built their rep on, and have been riding on it's cred-fumes since, brought many bands who would have had a tough time getting over to the US to tour, giving them an audience, and giving fans a one stop shop for a laundry list of bands they've been waiting [...]

Filter magazine's Culture Collide festival kicked off in earnest Thursday night in Echo Park, offering a sampler platter of international flavors that — musically, anyway — tasted generally pretty familiar. To that end, we offer something we'll call Random Encounters of the Festival Kind: Highlight of the night "I never thought L.A. wasn't big enough to have a 2-piece," joked Blood Red Shoes drummer Steven Ansell. The U.K. duo, which also consists of hard-rocking guitar-sprite Laura-Mary Carter, played so hard the power went out in the Champagne Room at [...]
