FW: this Tuesday: Exact Change anniversary celebration in Bklyn

[Thomas Eckhardt]

Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang... Nice people. I once drove to Frankfurt 
for a Galaxie 500 show, arrived there three hours early because I didn't 
know the concert was to begin at midnight and incidentally met them and 
Dean Wareham in front of the club. They asked me if I was a music 
journalist, I denied, they put me on the guest list anyway. After the 
show, they sold their merchandise themselves, so certainly could have 
used the Deutschmarks...

I just looked up Exact Change on Wikipedia. Interesting.

Galaxie 500's first album "Today" still ranks high in my personal 
all-time charts. And their version of Joy Division's/New Order's 
"Ceremony" always threatened to lift the roof off of the tiny clubs they 
were playing in. Dean Wareham seems to recently have published a book 
about his life as a semi-popular indie rock star. Has anybody read it?
