A Word or Two about the Blog Going Forward
Hello dear readers,
To be completely candid, I almost pulled the plug on (La) luna a few weeks ago, but, as you may have noticed, I have instead resumed posting material as of a few days ago. You also may have noticed that the new posts are different. No review, very basic, just the goods. This is because I just don't have it in me to write anything these days, much less detailed music reviews. My personal life is basically a nightmare right now, which takes much of my time and energy. However, I have found myself feeling very disconnected and alone over the past few months; posting on (La) luna and Plastic Palace People, as spartan as my new posts are, simply makes me feel better, hence my reappearance. I don't know how long I will continue doing this, as I will be facing some tough circumstances in the coming weeks and months, but I really appreciate all your amazing emotional support- there have been times over the past few months when your comments have brought a warmth to my heart when little else could. Thank you ~ V

The Church Series, #4: Marty Willson-Piper- Hanging Out in Heaven (2000) MP3 & FLAC
Mo-Dettes- The Story So Far (1980) MP3 & FLAC
The Hot Dogs- Say What You Mean (1973) Japanese Remaster (Roots of Power Pop Series) MP3 & FLAC
JVC Victor Japan ~ 2003/1973
The Hot Dogs were a Memphis power-pop band and label-mates with Big Star at Ardent Records in the early seventies. While lacking the edgy off-center quality of the legendary work of Chris Bell and Alex Chilton, The Hot Dogs' brand of power-pop was more obviously influenced by Memphis soul. Lead guitarist and producer Terry Manning did a wonderful job of giving this album the same sumptuous sound that is found on Big Star's debut (which he also had a hand in creating). A rare Memphis power-pop gem that you don't want to miss if you like Big Star.
