This book took me back -- I discovered Yo La Tengo, thanks to a friend, just around the time of Painful and Electropura, and used to see them perform three or four times a year, sometimes in Manhattan or Brooklyn, often over at Maxwell's in Hoboken. Things had been afoot for some time. Hot Property. The two go from friends to an inseparable couple during a trip to London, and from there their relationship becomes a barely discussed fact of life.

In many ways the most obvious band for this treatment, the members stay Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock humble and too private to help Jarnow meet his goals. One thing I didn't like, that relates somewhat to names, is the "name dropping" that I occasionally got overwhelmed with. Clearly the work of a loving fan-light on personal details but heavy on the environments, influences, and people surrounding a great band. Interesting, but so far it's not making me want to listen to any Yo La Tengo. As the book continues you learn more about how albums and songs were named, from funny quips they heard on tour to a misread in Ira's copyediting job. Open Preview See a Problem? Through Yo La Tengo's history, Jesse Jarnow examines indie rock's deep tentacles, winding along America in clubs and fanzines. More Coverage Indispensable classical music for newbies and aficionados alike. Mostly by design, this band keeps themselves out of the story of their music, so a lot of what the author revealed about Ira, Georgia, Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock James and the milieu in which they've steadily evolved was new to me. Other editions. But after McNew joins the group, the story really loses any forward momentum, since YLT are not the kind of band with the sort of conflict and drama that makes for a compelling story. It was interesting to get more context of the surrounding music scene, some of which I'd been aware of and some of which I hadn't. That makes Big Day Coming a bit likes its subject—warm, modest, full of history, open and endearing … yet maintaining an unbridgeable distance. I feel like I know these people after finishing the book. My wife sings, but not in public. Log In. For the most part, I'm glad I did. There is some insight into the changing independent music industry over the last years, but the book may be of limited interest to non YLT fanatics. See details. Definitely for fans only!

The biggest problem with the book is that, while biographies tend to thrive on personal conflict to create tension, Yo la Tengo is a pretty boring band.

While Yo La Tengo was on the road, Lyle Hysen — whose Ace Tone organ Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock band had borrowed from the corner and not returned — had fixed up the room as a functional budget recording studio. Kaplan discusses business more freely than personal issues, but once the band agrees to work with long-time friend Gerard Cosloy and his Matador label, even Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock business becomes too well-adjusted to cause excitement. This book reaffirmed my belief that if there was ever a band that had a personality and temperament similar to mine, Yo La Tengo is it. Times Events.

May 24, Josh rated it really liked it. That is, any sense of the musicians of Yo La Tengo, or insights into their music, or the greater good of indie rock, is not given. The new album would eventually take the name Painful and, as every member of Yo La Tengo long continued to point out, the process was exactly that. No trivia or quizzes yet. Jan 06, Dan rated it really liked it. Hits came throughout the s, and the band grew increasingly more successful. Jan 20, Michael rated it liked it. Yo La Tengo has lit up the indie scene for three decades, part of an underground revolution that defied corporate music conglomerates, eschewed pop radio, and found a third way.

  • Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A Is with Del Paxton, Who Just Wish That People Would Think Their Band Was from the '90S
    :: View email as a web page :: On Friday, My Morning Jacket finally released The Waterfall II, an album recorded in the mid-2010s. On The Waterfall, My Morning Jacket sounded determined to remind fans of the monolithic jams they made their name with in the ’00s. The sequel, however, carries no such pretenses. Even the hardest rocking track, “Wasted,” which settles on a surly guitar groove accented with punchy horns, feels more like an invitation to explore the darkest corners of innerspace than a call to party. In that way, The Waterfall II feels (apologies for using a corny term) more honest. Much of the record is composed of bleary-eyed, pedal steel-laced ballads that dwell ruefully on loss and aspire gorgeously to a state of healing, creating an all-too-relatable vibe of heartsick restlessness driven by a desperate desire to believe that tomorrow will somehow be better. So we guess it really is relevant to our endless now after all.

  • A “Live Documentary” Collaboration by Sam Green & Yo La Tengo
    R. BUCK- MINSTER FULLER A “live documentary” collaboration by Sam Green & Yo La Tengo CONTACT: [email protected] www.buckminsterfullerfilm.com CAN ONE PERSON CHANGE THE WORLD? END POVERTY? END WAR? Buckminster Fuller, twentieth-century futurist, architect, engi- neer, and inventor—he called himself a “comprehensive an- ticipatory design scientist”—experimented tirelessly for fifty years to find out just what a single person can do on behalf of humanity. R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller is a new hour-long “live documentary” from Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Sam Green exploring Fuller’s utopian vision of radical social change through a design revolution. Originally commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Design and Ar- chitecture Department, the project is a collaboration between Green and the legendary indie band Yo La Tengo. At each screening, Green narrates the film in person and cues imag- es while Yo La Tengo performs their original score. The film’s unique form draws inspiration equally from old travelogues, the Benshi tradition, and TEDtalks. 2 Buckminster Fuller was a grandiose and generous thinker, teeming with ideas. He once put together a lecture series called “Everything I Know”—it was forty-two hours long. No notes. He was an early proponent of conservation and environmen- tal stewardship as social justice; Fuller was interested in “doing more with less,” so that everybody could have enough. He redesigned human structures from cars and bathrooms all the way up to entire cities, inspiring figures as diverse as the industrialist Henry Kaiser, John Cage, and Stewart Brand.
