View Full Version : ultimate Yo La Tengo mix
I'm Hardcore 10-21-2009, 08:29 AM okay so i'm going on a roadtrip Friday,and i want to introduce a carload of people to Yo La Tengo. I figure that i can give them a good scope of the band's best material, considering that the trip itself is 7 hours.
so far i have:
blue line swinger
night falls on hoboken
these two are never-fails, so please add your favourite tracks below!
Melancholy 10-21-2009, 09:28 AM you can have it all.
let's save tony orlando's house.
TheMilstead 10-21-2009, 02:01 PM I don't really have anything to contribute since I'm not a huge fan, but wouldn't 7 hours straight be rather overwhelming? Why don't you try introducing them to 3 or so bands in the case that the carload's not feeling Yo La Tengo?

Where the hell are you going?
Shapan 10-21-2009, 03:52 PM i think about a third of my ultimate yo la tengo mix would probably consist of songs from i can hear the heart beating as one

Kayaking in Wanganui

That's what threw me off, I guess.
I've never been kayaking. I'm jealous. :(
You better take tons of pictures for the pic post thread, mang.
publius clodius 10-21-2009, 05:28 PM this might be a really odd choice but their cover of take care is one of my absolute favourites

Fully endorse that selection.
Would add the first three tracks of Electr-o-pura - that's all it took to perk my curiosity. I basically only know that album and Beat Your Ass, but those two albums are awesome.
talk show host 10-21-2009, 08:04 PM YLT would be a great roadtrip band.
I'm Hardcore 10-21-2009, 08:21 PM Electr-O-Pura could possibly be my favourite YLT record
I'm Hardcore 10-21-2009, 08:26 PM even though 'Flying Lesson' sounds like a direct rip-off of 'Theresa's Sound World'
Andy / 10-21-2009, 08:48 PM I quite like the song on the Dark Was The Night comp (I forget what it's called).

Andy / 10-21-2009, 09:58 PM Nuclear War? Or something else?
redbull 10-21-2009, 10:38 PM yeah, nuclear war...it was awesome. they also did speeding motorcycle and come on come on...all-covers encore
I'm Hardcore 10-22-2009, 01:19 AM when i saw them, I got an acoustic version of 'Story'. So fucking sweet.
