Alienation and Despair - Faves

A Bald Head?!?!

We'll have one beer and then we'll go, cause I have to 
leave town tomorrow, but of course that NEVER HAPPENS,
cause people show up, ya know and go, "hey, let's have a 
pitcher". Ok, so we have a pitcher, then we had three or 
four pitchers, and so this guy comes up and he knows these
strippers and these strippers came up and sit down. Well, 
it was one stripper but her friend was really great too. 
So, we're sitting there all having beers then all of a 
sudden things got really out of control.

 The NYU show (5/2) was concluded with a cover of the Swell Maps Let's
 Build a Car.

 We arrived at The Andy Warhol Museum (following a flight from Birmingham and 
 an unplanned tour of the Three Rivers Stadium parking lot) just in time for 
 YLT's opening number, a song unknown to me sung by James (the set list gave 
 "Don't" as a probably-abbreviated title).  This show might be about as close 
 as one can find these days to an Exploding Plastic Inevitable experience: 
 mirror ball, multiple film projections (including educational films, 
 animated films [one perhaps by Georgia], and, inevitably, some Warhol 
 movies, including, in some part, BLOW JOB, KISS, CHELSEA GIRLS ["Nico 
 Crying" reel only], HAIRCUT (#1), and VINYL;  wouldn't CAMP have been 
 appropriate?), -- even a couple of dancers for the closing song (minus 
 whips).  And, of course, loud music:

 (Don't)
 Shaker
 Tom Courtenay
 Decora
 Flying Lesson
 Satellite
 Nowhere Near
 Damage
 Double Dare
 False Alarm
 Sudden Organ
 (Synth)
 Blue Line Swinger

 [Encores:]
 (Monkees song -- unsure of title.)
 Dreaming
 Can't Seem To Make You Mine

 ["Damage" is a new original; what was listed as "Synth" on the set list was 
 an instrumental segue, of sorts.]

 Afterwards, we gave Ira a quart of Dreamland BBQ sauce as thanks for the 
 free show.

 The next day, we ran into the band outside the museum, and a pleasant chat 
 with Georgia ensued.  We talked about their filming I SHOT ANDY WARHOL and 
 their attempt to get Maureen Tucker to play with them at the NYC premiere 
 party (she graciously declined as, like Lou Reed, she did not want to be 
 associated with the movie).  We proceeded to spend part of the afternoon 
 leapfrogging YLT around the museum.  After a screening of Warhol's film BIKE 
 BOY, I asked Ira (who, aside from us, was the only person present from the 
 beginning to the end of the movie) about the much-lusted-after compilation 
 of rarities.  He offered the gratifying news that the 2-DISC set was due for 
 an August release!

 Unexpectedly, we capped-off our Pittsburgh trip with an incredible Bob Dylan 
 concert -- a perfect conclusion to a tremendous, wigged-out weekend.

 New Yo La Tengo Mailing List

 All right.  Due to the glaring absence of newsgroups for bands like 
 Guided By Voices, Pavement, and Yo La Tengo, I am entering into the 
 mailing list fray.  If ANYONE is interested in joining Motel 6, a Yo La 
 Tengo list, e-mail me with a message of "subscribe."  I haven't decided how 
 exactly to run this thing... I'm thinking digest form.  Anyway, even if 
 you know absolutely nothing about one of the best bands in music right 
 now, you should still join and enlighten yourself.

 Thanks,

 Jake

 Hi.  Upon trying to start up my own Yo La Tengo mailing list, I was 
 informed that there is an existing one that I was not aware of.  I am 
 extremely interested in subscribing and will refer all of those who respond 
 to my post regarding the new list.

 Aquarius Records - New Arrivals

 YO LA TENGO  "President YLT/New Wave Hot Dogs"  (Matador)  cd  

 cheers to Matador/YLT for seeing the need and filling it, we can't even
 keep the expensive import of this cd in stock cos people want these early
 albums so much. now available at a domestic price: both albums plus a song
 from an early 7". highly recommended.

 I would like to get all of the Dump releases I can.  I currently have only
 Superpowerless on CD, I Can Hear Music on CD, and the 10" Dump
 International Airport.  I am aware of two 7"'s and a limited double CD I
 have never seen.  Can anyone give some insight as to the entire Dump
 discography, and better yet, a source for the stuff I don't have?  I need
 live tapes of Dump as well.

 Thanks for your time.

 I can't rave enough about YLT's live show. They played a "birthday" show for 
 the radio station I work at (KCOU in Columbia, Mo) and their set went on for 
 more than 2 hrs.  We had a sorta country-stomp band the Mudbugs open up for 
 them, and not only were they  into it they had members of the Mudbugs join 
 them on stage during their set to play a Gram Parsons cover! Add to all this 
 several encores, the fact that Ira came up to me and my friend and talked to 
 us for 20 minutes before the show, and the fact that they said at the show's 
 conclusion "we've had a lot of radio stations put up banners at our shows, and 
 it's nice once in a while to see one for a station like KCOU that actually 
 plays our records."

 Damn great show, damn great band.

 The upcoming Yo La Tengo release is, indeed, a collection of b-sides,
 outtakes, live songs, covers, and other rarities. The release date, according
 to Matador is July 23rd. It will be a double CD and LP entitled "Genius + 
 Love = Yo La Tengo." I am also working out the kinks for the message board, 
 which will operate like a b-board. I will announce on this page when all 
 are up and running.
