I also have a Japanese version of this album? Are they like super common or something?

I don’t know! I went on an ordering spree from Record City Japan last month and this was part of it. I saw it as a good way to get a clean OG for cheap more than anything. This copy looked new and sounds great, so success there.

Dean Warehman - Anesthesia (1992)

First solo outing from Galaxie 500 front man. Both tracks were redone for Luna’s first album (Lunapark) later in ’92. Dean is releasing his first solo album in about 7 years of new music in October. Very excited.

I finally placed an order for the Bewitched reissue at Gotta Groove records a few weeks back. Did you pick that one up too?

Day 12 - “Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)”

I had been going to play the Twin Peaks soundtrack thinking Lannister might like the general background in debauchery and trying to untangle the symbolism, but then I started thinking what I wanted to do was show him Twin Peaks. For a while I thought I really didn't have any good picks for today - not confidently or without repeating myself. But then I noticed this and thought he might get something out of “Carolina Drama.” Now, having listened to it, it's probably a better pick than I even realized…
