Yo La Tengo - “Popular Songs” - Buy It

text: Carrie Johnston

Yo La Tengo is your relentlessly cheerful, disgustingly talented best friend.  He has defied trend by wearing rather creative variations of the same outfit for that entire duration, and at no time was his ability to sling chicks put to rest. You are astounded by his resilience and salute him.

Reminds us of: Belle and Sebastian | Sonic Youth | Velvet Underground

    Best summary of Yo La Tengo’s wonderful existence I’ve read yet.  That should go in their wiki.  Kudos.

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…
