Yo La Tengo should be pushed more as great examples of musicians/artists who were late bloomers, individually driven, and reaching great heights in talents later in age (today's culture glorifies youth, not age for this. Ira's 40 here). They don't make music making a rat race but a thing some people do. A beautiful band.

So ahead of their time

I like James' Pastels shirt.

I can't believe Kaplan is 40 here, he looks like he could be literally 22

thanks!

In The Summer music video there were only two members.

Host: So what's the story behind your name? Ira: We'd rather leave it a mystery. Host: OK, then allow me to kill the mystery and trounce upon your wishes by telling people the story behind your name. WHAT A BONEHEAD MOVE.

spookyness? geez

The host is so passive aggressive! He has this weird way of sprinkling gratuitously rude little comments into the standard morning television anchor shtick. "That's not terribly responsive!" "The torture is over!" Also I love how he seems to have completely misunderstood their record ("There's a sort of spookiness in this album"...???)
