Yo La Tengo : Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma


Well we had some good news from Yo La Tengo. This is Ira speaking :
"Hey everybody, Just want to let you know that anyone looking for a curious way to while away the time until our new record comes out in September can go to yolatengo.com and pick up a copy of Yo La Tengo Is Murdering the Classics, a compilation of our appearances on the WFMU fundraising marathon. For 70 excruciating minutes, you will hear us butchering some of your favorite songs, played by us in the studio at WFMU with no preparation, no rehearsal, suggested by the listeners who pledge money to the station while we're on the air. It's more fun than going to the dentist . . . barely."
You can go to You Aint No Picasso to see if one of your favorite songs is in on the "dead list"... Maybe one from Bob Dylan, one from Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Captain Beefheart ? Who knows !
Of course, you can shop here Yo la Tengo Is Murdering The Classics
