Dim Stars

UPDATE: This post was re-uploaded 08/23/2013. Enjoy, NØ.

Dim Stars were basically a punkstars collaborative project from the early 90s between downtown NYC legends: Richard Hell & Robert Quine of the Voidoids; Thurston Moore & Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth; & Don Flemming of 1/2 Japanese & Gumball.

They released three singles & this one full length lp.

Dim Stars not only marked Hell’s first album of new material after an 8 year retirement from music, but also what has so far been the last bit of new music he has released (Hell recently released Destiny Street Repaired, a re-edited of Destiny Street).

Dim Stars - Dim Stars, Paperhouse Records paplp 014 (UK), 1992.

    She wants to die. It a great song. Remind me Morrissey with balls. Great LP. I didn't know that you're Jodorwsky fan. I like him too. He has a lot of comics and books too.

    Cheers man Great to received comments from you. I'm glad you like Erlend Oye. Stunning creator

    I'm almost terrified that your reminder regards this fantastic LP blows me out of my current dub groove.

    I heard Dim stars first on John Peel and forgot about them for years. I've got a copy of this but I'm damned if I can recall which song it was which blew me away in the first place.

    It may have been a session recording, but I don't think so. Rarified and crushing.

    I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
