Tengo


One of the records I bought while visting Over There was Yo La Tengo's "Today is the day!" [Matador, 2003]. Just wow. It really rocks my socks and therefore I shall give you two wonderful songs from it.

Yo La Tengo - Today is the day
(A1)
Yo La Tengo - Needle of death
(B1)
'Today is the day" is clattering rock with kind of classic guitars and fittingly ailing almost insipid vocals. "Neddle of death" is all sullen, carefully treading and demure pop. I don't know why but it remids me of Nico's "The fairest of the seasons", how odd.

I promise I'll try to get some new, fresh electronic stuff up here ASAP.

Edit: Just noticed - big words today. Jesus, haha.
