Yo La Tengo Primer, Part Two

lots of great suggestions from friends for you to consider. here are Tammis's favorites.

Nowhere Near


Little Eyes


Nothing But You and Me


feeling weird today. was probably the huge bowl of ice cream, late night, right before falling asleep. knew it wasn't a really good idea but damn was it delicious. so listen, enjoy your Sunday housecleaning, and i'll talk to you later!

I Got It!

an idea!

Yo La Tengo are coming your way next week. you are in for a treat of you go. i know weeknights are tough for you but you won't regret it. they put on a great show. i will admit, i am not terribly familiar with their catalog (which is extensive, spanning three decades). so i have an idea to help you study up. i'm'a ask around, see what songs people dig, and post them here. by Wednesday, you should have a good background. here are my first three.

Today is the Day


Autumn Sweater


False Alarm (live in Atlanta, Jan 28, 2011)



if you're super lucky they'll play Nuclear War, and sure you'll hear at least one from And Then Nothing... you will definitely witness plenty of low-slung guitar freakouts, and lots of real pretty singing. they'll probably take some requests, so gather a few in your mind.

and, as i've just discovered, THIS WILL HAPPEN

will you be the lucky lady?

Day Two

this album has a special place in my heart, literally turning it inside out. it's the LP equivalent of our in-love: fun, layered and complex (in all the right ways) but never tough to get a hold of, and warm as an embrace from yr Fave-1. i put it on your iPod before you left. have you heard yet? it's one of those that mean so much to me that i must under-play it, so the sweetness (and sometimes bittersweet-ness) never fades. i'm making dinner for our friends later, so that i can have company while i eat. i miss you.
