Speaking of which we could really use some Lloyd Cole on RP; definitely a big missing.

I have been instigating some commotion about that. 

. . . .

I'll see myself out, thank you.

Always love YLT, very recognizable when they pop up on the playlist, and always a great listen.

It isn't a giddy-up tune or a rock-your-socks-off tune, so the bass is intentionally -- and deeply -- moved into the background.

Always cracks me up that a Hoboken band is named Yo La Tengo.

Soundwise, oddly reminiscent of Ultravox's Vienna, I think - but maybe that's just me...

If folk are going to record songs, I do expect that they'll at least feckin' sing, rather than croak voiceovers. Even Tom "Ol' Gravel Voice" Waits makes an effort to be tuneful.

From Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant Child"

One fine morning in the middle of the Precession of the Equinoxes this 'satiable Elephant's Child asked a new fine question that he had never asked before. He asked, 'What does the Crocodile have for dinner?' Then everybody said, 'Hush!' in a loud and dretful tone, and they spanked him immediately and directly, without stopping, for a long time.

By and by, when that was finished, he came upon Kolokolo Bird sitting in the middle of a wait-a-bit thorn-bush, and he said, 'My father has spanked me, and my mother has spanked me; all my aunts and uncles have spanked me for my 'satiable curtiosity; and still I want to know what the Crocodile has for dinner!'

Then Kolokolo Bird said, with a mournful cry, 'Go to the banks of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees, and find out.'

I don't know how it's possible that I've never heard of this band. I checked AMG and almost all of their albums are rated at 4 or better. And their first album was in 1986!!! This one definitely slipped under the radar!

One of my favorite songs of all time! YLT played outdoors at Rutgers one year and it rained so only about 50 of us showed up. We were drenched but it was great to see them. I could listen to this song on repeat all afternoon long.
Posted 20 years ago by mettle    [ Reply ]
I worked with them on some tracks for the Painful CD as an assistant engineer - impossible to get Ira's voice onto tape without Dobly SR . makes me laugh now . can you imagine ? Seemed like it was impossibly hard -- tape hiss (noisefloor) just below his barely audible voice - we were banging our heads on the table. trying to be nice "stay close to the mic? ok? sounds great !"

I saw them on a bill with Big Star, Superdrag and Perfect up in NYC a few years ago. I thought they were kind of out of place, though in all it was an awesome show. YLT not my cup of tea.

Whew. I wasn't even paying attention for so long that I didn't recognize any of the previous three songs on the little playlist widget. Then I hit reFresh about several times, thinking, "This is cool, way cool, now who is it?" Well, I'll be--it is Yo La Tengo. My world is strangely new and cool.

If anyone likes Yo La Tengo, check out FAKEBOOK. It was a favourite album on a nine month roadtrip, It never lost popularity. Every one should have this album. It isn't as mellow as some of their other stuff, it just sounds fantastic!!!!! Every song is perfect I can't say enough about this album!!
I DID check it out. And you are right. Every song IS perfect. I like the acoustic non/electronic setting on this CD. Very different from their new one. I really like "The Summer".

Don\'t know if anyone has noticed, but I believe the instrumental portion of this tune is looped and used by PBS as background during their (quite compelling) promos. Sounds great.

Ah Bill, you\'ve just made my morning! I relocated a month ago, and had to leave behind my incredible MP3 collection on my old work computer. Some of my BEST songs were YLT, and I miss them terribly... this was one of them! My long-ago friend David Harrell in Chicago introduced me to YLT, and once I heard them I couldn\'t get enough. More, more, more!
