Not a post about books or reading, though I feel that Yo La Tengo make the sort of music that you could call literary. Having said that, the fist thing that strikes me about them is the gorgeous music and harmonies created by Georgia, Ira and James.
"Popular Songs" is surely an ironic title, but maybe refers to their ability to genre-hop between songs on each album. They have been around for 25 years - I must admit to only having been a fan for the last 5 or 6 albums - and are on the perenially cool Matador label.
I have scored myself a couple of tickets for the Academy 2 show in Manchester on 7 November - apparently Euros Childs is the support act, which should make for a really rather fabulous show.
