THE PORTABLE GALAXIE 500 is an Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as a full-length video of "Blue Thunder."
Imagine J. Mascis without the angst. Imagine the Velvets' "Sweet Jane" played on an antique turntable stuck on 16 rpm. This is the sound of Galaxie 500. Many other bands have appeared in their wake to continue the band's style of soft-spoken minimalist guitar-gloom, including Belle and Sebastian, and the Magnetic Fields. Galaxie 500's career was a short one, and most of their fans have come to love the band posthumously. THE PORTABLE GALAXIE 500 samples the best of three years' worth of releases.
This compilation includes "Strange," which portrays the unresolved alienation which the indie generation inherited from the post-punk era, as well as "When Will You Come Home" and the ever-powerful "Listen, the Snow is Falling." THE PORTABLE GALAXIE 500 is by no means a comprehensive sampling of the band's repertoire--nothing short of their full catalogue can faithfully represent their brief, sad genius--but it's certainly a good start.
Galaxie 500: Dean Wareham (vocals, guitar); Naomi Yang (vocals, bass); Damon Krukowski (drums, percussion, background vocals).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Portable Galaxie 500 Music Portable Galaxie 500 Songs Portable Galaxie 500 Review

Portable Galaxie 500 album
 $10.69   
In a different world, Kelly Willis would be a huge country star. Blessed with an emotional, pure voice, songwriting talent and good looks, she's the whole package and then some. But she didn't quite fit in with the Nashville scene, so she's based in Texas, where she's been dubbed "The Voice of Austin." Her previous albums only hinted at the full scope of Willis' artistic vision, but her fourth full-length release WHAT I DESERVE is the first one on which it truly shines through.
Willis wrote or co-wrote half the tracks on the album, but she's also chosen material by her husband Bruce Robison, Nick Drake, Paul Kelly and even the Replacements' Paul Westerberg. It's her unmistakable voice which ties it all together, whether she's crooning her way through the dreamy "Not Long for This World" and "Time Has Told Me," getting bluesy on "Got A Feelin' For Ya" or tackling upbeat numbers like "Take Me Down." Highlights include the title track and great ...

| | Chris Stamey Travels In The South CD (2004)
Portable Galaxie 500 songs
$13.75
A founding leader of the influential cult band the dB's, Chris Stamey has spent most of last 15 years producing other people's discs (Alejandro Escovedo, Yo La Tengo, Whiskeytown) rather than creating his own. Not counting a 1995 instrumental album, Travels in the South marks his first record since 1991, when he released both the solo Fireworks and Mavericks, a duet disc with his old dB's partner Peter Holsapple. South, however, shows little sign of rustiness. The album kicks off with the glorious "14 Shades of Green," a chimey gem that takes a nostalgic look at a hometown. This leadoff track also establishes the theme of traveling that runs through the disc. Songs like "Insomnia," "Ride," and the title track all touch upon the feeling of life in transit. The sublime "In Spanish Harlem" takes a Paul Simon-esque look at New York City but with a decidedly eased-back Southern tempo. The entire album, in fact, rides along at a leisurely pace, with the majority of songs surpassing the four-minute mark. But Stamey uses his production savvy to build these ...
| | Iron & Wine Our Endless Numbered Days CD (2004)
Portable Galaxie 500 album
$11.99
Initial pressings of OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS comes with a 4-song bonus CD.
While Sam Beam's self-recorded first outing as Iron & Wine, THE CREEK DRANK THE CRADLE, features a hushed bedroom atmosphere, his second full-length album, OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS, invites listeners into a slightly larger living room. Here there's enough space for an outside producer (Brian Deck) and additional musicians (including Sam's sister Sara on harmony vocals). Though Beam's musical ...
| | Mission Of Burma Gun to the Head CD 2 CD Set
Portable Galaxie 500 CD music
$12.75
Taking its cue from late-1970s British art-punks like Wire and Gang of Four, Boston's Mission of Burma developed a unique, angular sound that was at once pre-eminent in and definitive of the burgeoning US post-punk scene. For a band whose initial studio recordings consisted only of ...
| | Jackie McLean Long Drink Of The Blues CD (1957)
Portable Galaxie 500 music CDs
$8.75
This CD reissue begins with what is titled "Take 1" of "A Long Drink of the Blues." After a false start, the musicians argue for two minutes about the tempo; why was this ever released? "Take 2" is a much more successful 20-minute jam featuring Jackie McLean (doubling on alto and tenor), trombonist Curtis Fuller, trumpeter Webster Young, pianist Gil Coggins, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Louis Hayes. ...
