Lunapark (album)

Lunapark was the debut album by indie rock band Luna. It was released in 1992 on Elektra Records. As the first musical outing of Dean Wareham since the disbanding of Galaxie 500, Lunapark set forth the new musical directions of Wareham and embraced a musical sound that would continue to evolve throughout Luna's tenure. Originally recorded as a three-piece, Luna did not add guitarist Sean Eden to the lineup until 1993's Slide EP.

gollark: For all that tailscale fairly good it is probably not ideal on *really* resource-constrained systems.
gollark: (it does not run any software except tailscale and sshd)
gollark: (30MB of which is tailscale)
gollark: Anyway, Alpine is quite minimal, I think. All the processes conveniently fit onto my screen in htop (half are just tailscale ones), and it's using 52MB of memory.
gollark: (Pis before the Raspberry Pi 3 *do not* exist.)
