I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
 

New Yo La Tengo album out September 12. Anyone excited? You can go to their site to download one of the songs off of it. Sounds good!

Yeah I'm pretty pumped. I've been jonesing for another Yo La Tengo show for a few years now.

i was about to challenge you to a fight!

sounds cool, all i've really heard by yo la tnego is 'prisoners of love' but its very very good.
i always connected them to sonic youth

I guess theres not a lot of Yo La Tengo fans here?

I saw Yo La Tengo live in a record shop in 2004. It was a 5 dollar show. Didn't do much for me.

Good band. But easy to forget. They have that meek thing that means people forget about them.

i love them so much.

Why do you have to read my mind so often?Even though i like them i never remember anything they do, and that includes me not even remembering what any of their albums are called.It could be that that kind of geeky ''indie schmindie say hello to your sister'' thing puts me off them for not being a more robust type of band but,as i've said,i like them and i don't mean them no harm(as if they'd give a toss anyway)

Sorry, shan't happen again. I think [checks which band are being talked about at top of thread] Yo La Tengo are somewhat like musical teflon, no memories stick to them. Although they are good.

i remember them. how could you forget "and then nothing turned itself inside-out"?

great band, always psyched to see a new LP. summer sun was decent, and then nothing turned itself out was incredible.... i can hear the heart was fucking great as well... seen them live three times as well... first time i saw them remains one of my greatest gigs of all time...

i bought Prisoners of Love based on a few songs but was rather disappointed. i listened to it once, maybe twice. i gave it to my bro after all his cds were stolen in the Denver airport.

Don't base your opinion of them on that compilation! They are definitely an album band. You have to hear some of the albums in their entirety.

Check out:
And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out

I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
Painful

i like yo la tengo. they have dreamy melodies.

True - fantastic album. But when Summer Sun came out, they dropped off my radar. I've heard a few songs off their new album and it sounds promising, but Yo La Tengo is one of those bands that easily fall back into the woodwork. Half their music is ace, the other half 'meh,' so you tend to forget them unless confronted directly with them.

Awesome. Didn't know they were coming out with a new album, but that is one of the best titles for an album ever.

i think little eyes and stolkhome syndrome are my two favorite songs by yo la tengo

Been meaning to pick up one of their cds but I've already spent all my arms and legs on other cd's at the local (er, only) overpriced CD shop.

i just downloaded this. i like it alot

That album title makes me smile.
