God I miss these guys. How odd must it have been for these guys to have been booked on Macenroe. He must've had trouble booking guests---Finesse Mitchell??? (yes i know very well who he is-- that's my point! he was barely on SNL to begin with.) Anyways i know that didn't matter to LUNA---but short of Kilborn how many more prominent shows were they denied over the years???
This is a good song, good album overall---I think i just always had that it was their last one against it. Oh So Swoony!
@KickMeAndCancel someone can have a bad voice but still be a good singer. David Byrne comes to mind. As does Kurt Cobain. James Murphy. Bad singing voice =/= bad singer
Luna Live is a great (2 CD's worth of "greatest hits") introduction to Luna. They have a superb, precise and sparkling live sound. Their live sound is practically studio quality, but their live versions are more than just blind repititions of the songs on their studio albums.
Luna were a brilliant band...First and foremost a live band...Catching a Luna show always ensured a smile on your face for the rest of the evening, could remove any bitternesses...Let's hope they do a reunion one day!!
rendezvous wasn't as good as penthouse, bewitched, or romantica, but it was still a solid album and there are more good songs than this one. just face it. any group that involves dean is going to put out quality stuff.
I recommend Luna Live for the beginner. It is a beautiful, flawless retrospect, with the added dimension of their jaw-dropping live performance savvy. And, I love Rendezvous, too. I love'm all!
Actually, I bought Rendezvous as my first album, and somehow I was launched headfirst into the Lunasphere, as it were. (Were it ever? Anyway...) I think, if you are just getting into Luna, go find what you want, then listen to it. Because I love Penthouse, but I am completely in love with Rendezvous, and, apparently, not everyone is, so...
Rendezvous is a good album. Its not penthouse, sorry, but there are more good songs than just this one. If you are just getting into luna, buy penthouse or bewitched. you'll work your way to this one.
Rendezvous is one of Luna's best. The cream of the crop. If you haven't got any, go and buy one of their albums if you want to be a more complete human being.
man, they were so good when they split up. it's too bad there's no room for real rock with heart and soul. if they had been more shallow they could have been "big".
I like his vocals, reminiscent of Lou Reed. To each his own!!

this song is so great. the challenge is to listen to it from about 0:13 to 3:22...

Dean mentions in his memoir that he didn't know which camera to look at during this performance, which would explain the shifty eyes at points...

Nah, their last album was actually their worst. This is one of the only good songs on the album. Amazing band though.
