About

Bio

Launched in March 1997, A Head Full of Wishes is a blog for Galaxie 500, Luna, Damon & Naomi, Dean & Britta and Dean Wareham. With news, articles and lists of releases and past and future shows. The blog posts are written by Andy Aldridge. In 1994, he pinched a bunch of Galaxie 500, Luna and Damon & Naomi lyrics and sleeve scans, threw together a rough discography and launched the website. He'd like to say it was the first Galaxie 500 website but Paul Stephenson can lay claim to that honour. But he can probably claim the first Luna and Damon & Naomi websites. The site chugged along happily through a few designs and domain changes, gave birth to the still lively Galaxie 500 Mailing List and got a name check on the Galaxie 500 DVD (major claim to fame). It now includes Dean & Britta and will cover whatever the rest of the ex-members of Luna decide to get up to. Entries in the A Head Full of Wishes blog concentrate on categories such as 13 most beautiful, after luna, audio, damon and naomi, dean and britta, dean wareham, download, editorial, extracurricular, fortune, friday recycling, galaxie 500, history, live, live shows, lost tracks,  luna, news, originals, other people's blogs, pictures, review, statistics, velvet underground tour diary and video. PR opportunities include news, reviews and interviews related to Galaxie 500 and the subsequent bands. Andy can be reached at andy@fullofwishes.co.uk.

    New York Magazine covers, analyzes, comments on, and defines the culture, lifestyle, fashion and personalities that drive New York City. It was founded in April 1968 by the editor Clay Felker and the graphic designer Milton Glaser, and was among the first "lifestyle magazines" meant to appeal to both male and female audiences. Geared for an audience that is generally college-educated working professionals, its readership includes both area residents and visitors interested in keeping in touch with local lifestyles. Created to report on and interpret recent events in the New York metropolitan area, it contains news about the city as well as reporting and criticism about restaurants, the arts and entertainment, shopping and services in New York. The publication is comprised of reader letters, opinions, news, features and interviews. Editorial content is broken down as follows: The Intelligencer section features New York people, places and happenings. It includes three subsections; a quick survey of the city’s most important events is included in It Happened This Week; Party Lines is a photo page; and the Competition, which challenges readers to solve New York-specific problems such as designing a new bridge or remaking an urban health club. The Features section showcases the big stories about people, politics, business, the media, food, fashion, crime, culture, real estate, medical issues, parenting, and quality of life issues. The Strategist section is dedicated to inspiring New Yorkers to live well by providing advice in the following subsections: The Best Bet, Mating, The Look Book, Storefront, Market Research, Food, The Everything Guide, Economy of One, Map, Body, Real Estate and Travel. The Culture Pages section gives the low-down on entertainment with subsections on Movies, Theater, Music, Art, Books and TV. The Agenda section at the back of each issue provides succinct listings for things to do. Subsections include Movies, Broadway & Off-Broadway, Art Museums, Galleries, Photography, Special Events, Music & Dance, Nightlife, Readings, Lectures & Panels, Restaurants, Kids and The Word.
