If folk are going to record songs, I do expect that they'll at least feckin' sing, rather than croak voiceovers. Even Tom "Ol' Gravel Voice" Waits makes an effort to be tuneful.

Cuz we're on our way, on our way, to fall in love.

Agree. Have enjoyed this song for years. Though I can't quite push to 10.

Yep, ideal segue from Grateful Dead - from mute-inducing agony to sleep-inducing tedium {#Sleep}. Here's hoping for at least a 5 in a song or two's time.

From Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant Child"

One fine morning in the middle of the Precession of the Equinoxes this 'satiable Elephant's Child asked a new fine question that he had never asked before. He asked, 'What does the Crocodile have for dinner?' Then everybody said, 'Hush!' in a loud and dretful tone, and they spanked him immediately and directly, without stopping, for a long time.

By and by, when that was finished, he came upon Kolokolo Bird sitting in the middle of a wait-a-bit thorn-bush, and he said, 'My father has spanked me, and my mother has spanked me; all my aunts and uncles have spanked me for my 'satiable curtiosity; and still I want to know what the Crocodile has for dinner!'

Then Kolokolo Bird said, with a mournful cry, 'Go to the banks of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees, and find out.'

I have to say I didn't hear this as a whole. Given the other comments it must be pretty good. I was in the bedroom and could only hear the bass line. That has to be the single most boring and uninspired bass riff I have ever heard. 4 notes played exactly the same over and over the full length of the song, and never varied.

I don't know how it's possible that I've never heard of this band. I checked AMG and almost all of their albums are rated at 4 or better. And their first album was in 1986!!! This one definitely slipped under the radar!

I have no idea why people like this band. I've tried to like them, but they seem so boring.

One of my favorite songs of all time!

YLT played outdoors at Rutgers one year and it rained so only about 50 of us showed up. We were drenched but it was great to see them.

I could listen to this song on repeat all afternoon long.

I worked with them on some tracks for the Painful CD as an assistant engineer - impossible to get Ira's voice onto tape without Dobly SR . makes me laugh now . can you imagine ? Seemed like it was impossibly hard -- tape hiss (noisefloor) just below his barely audible voice - we were banging our heads on the table. trying to be nice "stay close to the mic? ok? sounds great !"

What a wonderful, beautiful little song. I'd like to hear more from them if this is any indication of what they're like.

I saw them on a bill with Big Star, Superdrag and Perfect up in NYC a few years ago. I thought they were kind of out of place, though in all it was an awesome show. YLT not my cup of tea.

Whew. I wasn't even paying attention for so long that I didn't recognize any of the previous three songs on the little playlist widget. Then I hit reFresh about several times, thinking, "This is cool, way cool, now who is it?"

Well, I'll be--it is Yo La Tengo. My world is strangely new and cool.

If anyone likes Yo La Tengo, check out FAKEBOOK. It was a favourite album on a nine month roadtrip, It never lost popularity. Every one should have this album. It isn't as mellow as some of their other stuff, it just sounds fantastic!!!!! Every song is perfect
I can't say enough about this album!!


I DID check it out. And you are right. Every song IS perfect. I like the acoustic non/electronic setting on this CD. Very different from their new one. I really like "The Summer".

Why does YLT get so little airplay here despite the high ratings?
