206. DEAN WAREHAM RATES GALAXIE 500 (PART 2: ON FIRE)

47 minutes

For my money, Galaxie 500 was the greatest dream pop group that ever existed. And Dean’s Discograffiti appearance couldn’t possibly be better timed: his brand-new solo LP, That’s The Price Of Loving Me—his best work since 1990 imho—marks the first time he and producer Kramer have collaborated since that very year, after the latter had doused Galaxie 500’s perfect triumvirate of albums in his trademark reverb bath.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Dean discusses with Discograffiti in Part Two of this podcast:

Our many wayward tales of dropping acid and wandering around Cambridge, Mass.;

Exactly how many songs are inspired by LSD on their sophomore record;

The nature of the disagreement that practically broke them up for good before the release of their debut;

The question Sonic Boom had for Dean;

Dean’s in-the-moment realization that the Blue Thunder EP was an unintentional suicidal depression concept piece;

And a track-by-track rundown of On Fire!
