The mastered on-air mix is what you hear and we rarely go back to re-mix. Our engineers are awesome. We remix for our annual "Live on KEXP" cd that we put out.

Discovered the band while living briefly in Kentucky 1996-1998 witnessing the break-up of my marriage of 6-years. I got an apartment in the art district and basically lived close to my records, discovering a lot of indie stuff that even I was not aware of previously (which is saying a lot!). Yo La Tengo came highly recommended via indie fanzines, and quickly became one of my favorite bands, along sides Stereolab, whom I had been listening to for a few years. It's been fun going back and recollecting all of their albums on vinyl, and rediscovering the band after a 10-year lapse, during which 'time pulled my life in other directions.'

That solo at 26:40 is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Maybe even my favorite ever. It has so much manic energy and is such a mess but its all calculated. Big ass respect to these guys.

I watched that solo, and had visions from another universe.

@thomasdooley4432 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, this video is just full of amazing guitar work, and the arrangements set it up beautifully. If I could play guitar well enough to play leads, I would want every one of them to sound like something Ira would come up with. His solo in I'll Be Around is note perfect.

@TimTidmons 2 жыл бұрын

Solid band but they seem like grade A ass clowns in interviews. Ira sounds like a pseudo-intellectual douche nozzle and the drummer has this aloofness to her that's unsettling

The album "Fade" is a true work of art, start to finish, imho; all songs on it work together to strengthen it as a whole. I first heard of this band from an article in The New Yorker, a review of the album "And Then Everything Turned Itself Inside Out" (2000) which is another great album. I have always thought of Yo La Tengo as a trio of musicians working at the highest & purest level of musical achievement.

I was in the local record store in my small(ish) town in western Canada and found Nothing Turned Itself on CD for $1. I had overlooked them forever and was happy with the find. The clerk said “I don’t want to go all High Fidelity on you, but if I put on Yo La Tengo on a Saturday I’ll ALWAYS sell a couple copies on vinyl.” I forgot about the CD for a few days and then put it in my car stereo after a great creative weekend and was just floored by the time I got to Track 3. It was the best musical experience I’ve had in years. I’m now a new fan, but excited to dive in deep.

It truly breaks my heart to look around and see so many negative comments about such a fantastic artist, but what can I expect when I reside in such a narrow-minded world. Wake up, people.

@robertmiller2411 10 жыл бұрын

Don't sweat it - this music comes from a side of creation well outside of the normal and the expected so it's not surprising that the masses don't "get it." This is not necessarily why we love it, but in some ways this is what makes it special and possible. Just enjoy and be thankful you were able to find these guys ... and go see them live - there is nothing like it, warm and friendly and funny and completely engaging.

I saw them on the Fade tour, and I watched Ira assault his guitar in a way I've never seen before during "Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind". He never broke a sweat. None of them did, during the entire performance. They don't age, they don't sweat, and their voices don't change.

I recommend Electr-o-Pura and Painful. Those two albums are fantastic. It'd be hard not to dig YLT after listening to those.

@seanoneil277 4 жыл бұрын

Their live shows in that era were amazing. The then-current energy of those two albums was pretty good. YLT have mellowed with age, but not in boring or sappy ways. Just fewer guitar freakouts, less noise, more melody. But melody was always lurking, and the mostly-covers album Fakebook shows what geeky curious souls they are.

This is the most important band of contemporary relevance in my personal opinion. No other band has move as dynamically and as pro-bono (again in my opinion) as this band has for... how many decades now? Their 'Fade' album is superb, the one prior -Popular Songs- is superb as well, taking into account how this band breathes movement without letting their sound be constrained by any pre-concieve expectance.
