Right then, now that the R.E.M. listening club has bucked off (eh? eh?), how about we turn our attention 860 miles up the coast to Hoboken, Nooo Jooysay? That’s right, it’s the Yo La Tengo Listening Club!
Same format applies as with the R.E.M. thread - one album per week, in chronological order, new album each Monday. 17 albums in total (I’m going to include the two WFMU pledge drive covers album, because who couldn’t enjoy those, right?) so plenty to get your teeth into and to wrap your lugs around.
So, with that in mind, who’s with us? First stop on Monday :
Sorry, took the Spotify link at face value and assumed it would be fine - they’re not appearing for me, Clive (Myrie). Now downgrading myself to Nicholas Witchell.
Followed the REM thread from a distance but looking forward to getting stuck into this - came to the YLT party fairly late and have only got properly into them in the last year or so and so keen to complete a review and get some views from here. Although having said all that, given the Spotify situation I’ll probably wait until Fakebook for getting fully involved.
Might try to get in on this. Have never listened to this band outside of a few samples but the name has been around forever and I’ve been intrigued by the pieces ive heard.
