message: Not sure where sales figures came from but they are way, way off. Galaxie 500 never even went gold per the RIAA website, and they certainly never charted.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Galaxie 500 On Fire.jpg

message: I'm unaware of any reference any of the band have ever made to being influenced by Spacemen 3. I had a look at the Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste DVD, but the only reference to Spacemen 3 I could find was in the Paul King interview. When asked about contemporary acts that they felt an affinity with, the band mentioned Spacemen 3, along with Opal and Yo La Tengo. Does anybody have any references to back up the claim that Spacemen 3 were an influence? 62.77.181.13 (talk) 14:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I've changed the year of formation from 1986 to 1987 - not sure where the '86 date came from but the box set booklet and the DVD sleeve both declare Galaxie 500 1987 - 1991 - and in the booklet Dean describes a point in the summer of 1987 as "when the band were born for real". They played their first gig on 29th August 1987 in NYC. Grange85 (talk) 21:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Was finding a source for a statement on the Sterling Morrison page about the song Tugboat, and the best source I could find was an article reproduced on here. There's a lot of information about G500 on there so here is the link in case anyone wants to use it before I do. Conradteixeira (talk) 19:46, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the part about Conan O'Brien's drumkit as Damon Krukowski has confirmed that this happened before the formation of Galaxie 500 and was only used rehearsing with a previous band.
The previous reference for erroneous claim was from the box set booklet and that reads
It makes it clear it was before Galaxie 500 and makes no mention of the "This drum kit can be heard on many of Galaxie 500's early recordings" claim.
I have just removed any mention as it has no bearing on Galaxie 500 - at a push it may have a place on Damon's own page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grange85 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
