We never really jam. Most of the songs that we play are strictly scripted. All the solos are learned note for note, repeated every night verbatim, as anyone who has seen any of our shows could tell you. ...Ira Kaplan

Yo La Tengo fans, Sorry, first issue was delayed due to two very unexpected events. The first, my mail server went down for four days last week. The second, I'm feeling carpel tunnel in my right forearm, so i stayed off the computer this weekend. - I first heard the name Yo La Tengo, four years ago when my then-soon-to-become- X-girlfriend (she was moving out, for good, better or worse in a week), went to see The Mondays (or Happy Sundays) at Slims. The next day, she mentioned that I might like Yo La Tengo. Right! Like i'm gonna run out and buy anything that you recommend to me. Well, time passed and I began to see the name Yo La Tengo in favorable record reviews on the net and in print. Being a pretty big Feelies fan, I decided to take on another hoboken band in my collection. Fakebook was to be the purchase. Wow! Knocked Out! Blown Away! Ever since then i've been picking up Yo La Tengo wherever i can get it, and seeing them whenever they come to town. - Yo La Tengo has always been very taper friendly. In Sacramento a few years ago, a friend of mine asked Ira permission to tape the show, and Ira allowed him to tape straight from the soundboard. As long as no profit is made, and the tapes stay in the hands of the fans, then there won't be a problem. With this in mind, I hope that we will be able to trade ylt shows on this mailing list. To get things going, I'm willing to trade/sell (cost of blank plus postage - usually under $4) the Sacramento Show (4/18/92) to anyone receiving the digest. Hopefully, I'll be able to make these kinds of offers each month. - After seeing YLT sunday night it occurred to me that the band should record the score to Metropolis as their next project. It would be the perfect opertunity to go wild with guitar feedback and loud droning organ. - Ultimately, this mailing list is whatever we make it. To be a success, we need reader contribution. So, quit lurking, and send ylt concert reviews, news, and rememberances. persevere, tim tim@vestek.com p.s. circulation 33
TOUR NEWS From: "Teddie James" <teddie_james@csicqm.sps.mot.com> The YLT concert has been moved from 2/12 to 2/25 [ed: austin liberty lunch]. For some reason, they have them booked with the Julianna Hatfield Three. Now I have to sit through her squeaky voice. Ack!
From: Anonimous Taper in Fargo My Yo La Tengo tape turned out allright (67 B+). They blew the P.A., so they played a few songs acoustically.
