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!

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?

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

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'

AndySlash · 10-21-2009, 08:48 PM

I quite like the song on the Dark Was The Night comp (I forget what it's called).

AndySlash · 10-21-2009, 08:49 PM

Gentle Hour

redbull · 09:47 PM

bonus points: i was at this show

double bonus points: this is only ~half the song

triple bonus points: they covered sun ra in the encore

AndySlash · 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
