I tried to get the promoter of the Dublin Yo La Tengo to include a quote from Tom on the poster. I'm afraid he didn't know who he was. Oh well. I put it on my Poster Blog instead.

Nice job. Was that a found tape? The song titles (like "Hippies and an Ouija board") sound like a jokey hardcore band.

That's the new YLT album art.  Pitchfork did an interesting feature on its back story (http://pitchfork.com/news/36087-take-cover-yo-la-tengos-ipopular-songsi/).

Here's something cool to download:

Sun Ra Tengo! Or, the I-Ra Arkestra

A collection of live Yo La T either covering Sun Ra or playing with the Arkestra. Worth downloading if only for the Arkestra "Little Honda," a freak jam that has to be heard to be believed. Sounds like Ira is having the time of his life.

Yes, I have. It didn't change my life but was solid, fairly well written, and moderately inspiring.

I thought it was a very good read.  Also, Jesse put together that Sun Ra Tengo mix linked above.
