Black Postcards - Dean Wareham

Galaxie 500 (also known as 'seminal Boston indie three-piece Galaxie 500') were one of the quieter joys of the late 80's/early 90's American underground. Their all too brief three album career ('On Fire' is an hauntingly beautiful record) had a profound impact upon a generation of American bands right to the present day.
Singer, Dean Wareham, finally got around to penning his memoirs last year wherein he documents the rise and ultimately shabby deterioration of the band. 
'Black Postcards' covers Wareham's career from Galaxie 500, to Luna and, finally, to his present incarnation with Britta Phillips, Dean & Britta (clever eh?). The book is now available in paperback or alternatively you can go to the official site for a signed hardback copy for a measly 25 bucks.
