Luna - Tiger Lily

Recorded 22 July 1994 for MTV's 120 Minutes

[@zekechesterfield9994]

This was one of my favorite shows in the 90's. Loved the live performances!

[@luisrato1974]

what a great sound! and here i am in october 2020, listening to this for the first time..sorry Luna, shame on me

[@racializedkanadian]

Check out ACETONE. Another great American group that flew under the radar in the 90's. Checkout their album CINDY.

[@deweypug]

The mighty LUNA in its first incarnation... Awesome.

An amazing song, an amazing band. KEXP recently uploaded a version recorded in Feb, 2020.

[@deweypug]

Done!!

[@theronscool]

i'd like to hang out with the 500 people who like this song.

[@deweypug]

I like to hang out with you just because you wrote that...

[@ilovemiele]

heard it for the first time Friday and love it..they are done though? Too bad.

[@luvaysh]

they are back together

[@dylanacevedo968]

Me too

[@1briggster]

beautiful so underated

[@bitchois]

So good, base your friendships on how they feel about luna, and Galaxie 500. It's a good baseline

My favorite Luna album is days of our nights but this is a classic

[@jamesalan3450]

Same here. This is off a great album (Bewitched) but I put Days of our Nights just above it in my Luna album rankings. Dean wasn't the most charismatic fellow on stage but he is a great songwriter and musician.

[@adk.lokesh]

what a great find! just recently started listening to luna and had only seen live the more recent performances after the reunion. amazing to see younger them

[@mikejohnson3815]

I followed Luna all the way through. Every album was wonderful. Bewitched was sublime, and my favorite. Saw them live at the Middle East in Cambridge, and will never forget it. Dean (Wareham) has a memoir out that is impeccably written, and rival's Morrissey's recent autobiography in its sincerity and erudite presentation. Don't miss the documentary of their farewell tour, Tell Me Do You Love Me.

[@RobCummings]

Black Postcards is the name of the book. Read it last winter. Like Luna's performances the memoir is understated and erudite, but it's also a eulogy for DIY rock n roll. When music is basically free and videography is valued over musicianship, it's almost impossible for a working band like Luna to make a living.

[@BaronKimball]

they are great and you recognized it from the start.

[@gutterdandy9173]

I interviewed the band in Toronto one time -- all great dudes to drink and shoot the shit with. Stanley Demeski is one of my favorite drummers of all time, and he and I hit it off right away because I happened to be wearing the "Wanted: Lou Reed" dyed blonde picture of Lou from an infamous issue of CREEM magazine, pressed onto a t-shirt. The other guys in Luna said, "Oh, you have to show that to Stanley, he is a huge CREEM fan and collector." Stan indeed loved the t-shirt, which brightened his mood that day. We all started drinking and gossiping about Bowie and Lou Reed, and had a good time. Stan looked over at me in the front row when he did a subtle, but very nifty, drum fill during the show, and we both had big grins on our faces. Yeah, I caught that, Stan! Loved that band. The article I did on them for (pre-Pitchfork) Addicted To Noise got a lot of positive feedback, too. Love to all the guys from that era of Luna -- including Sean, my fellow Canadian!

[@ue4058]

Saw the Bewitched tour, they opened for Cocteau Twins at the Paramount in Seattle. Still remember how great this song was on that evening, in that hall. Magical sounds.

[@peterjmizzi]

The sound of the the last 2 years of my university life ♥️♥️♥️ happy days

[@luvaysh]

what a sweet summer!

[@clarityparadigm8494]

Wish this group had lasted, had more muses to listen to throughout our time, and more INFLUENTIAL credit as a 90's alternative fixture. I guess ... I feel this was an integral part of the ALTERNATIVE experience which defined a period musical evolution. KUDOS. BTW I am a hedge hog, perhaps ;)

[@TheLarabennett]

They're still going!

[@mcsquared1]

Fantastic tune!

Sweet obscenity Bring her back to me Lost in her perfume Think i'm gonna sue Sweet obscenity Didn't i know it Didn't i call her name Stale cigarettes Crumble in your fingers Caught with a drink in my hand Edging to the door Sweet obscenity Didn't i know it Didn't i call her name Tiger lily girl Standin' cross-eyed in the corner Tiger lily girl Standin toungue tied in the corner Somethin' in her eye Tells that i should try Somethin' she…

[@crookedrain771]

So good.

[@avefiggy2128]

holy fuck I love this so much

[@serpentor420]

Thank you Stan & Jan! Hope all is well with you folks in 2020.

[@alandasher8789]

brilliant

[@BPresnal]

I sure do miss Justin on bass and Stanley on drums.

[@RobCummings]

Is that Sean with the long hair?

[@BPresnal]

@@RobCummings Yes, he used to have long hair in the 90s

[@rebelgrrrl76]

yes please

[@thebrysmith3]

Sean without a Jazzmaster. 😮

[@andrewschwerin]
