Wonderful band, great live but let's be honest here, 'And The Glitter Is Gone' is self-indulgent **** on what is otherwise a very fine new album.

Any other gigs I should know about that could fly under the radar? Mew are playing the Academy the night Yo La Tengo. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones too.

Any else?

Aridstarling

I really hope I can get to this, though Grizzly Bear may eat up my funds for November gigs...

meenmore

Grizzly Bear would be a tasty gig, yeah.

seachto7

I had quite a splendid idea...
Halfway through, or whenever there's a sufficient break in the proceedings, one of us could call for 'You can have it all'. Then a second person would pipe up, and a third, until all the boards.ie Yo La Tengoists have been 'roll-called', so to speak. If there's enough of a commotion, I'm sure they'll have to at least acknowledge it, and who knows, they might perform it.

Would be a boards first, nay? Video footage etc. withstanding, of course..

Brilliant idea! If we get loads of people to call out for it they'll pretty much have to play it. It has to be that all vocal version though! The original just doesnt compare.

sock puppet

Damn. No one I know likes Yo La Tengo:(

Please don't do this. They'll play what they want, don't ruin the gig by continually roaring for the song you want to hear. It's so fecking annoying, plus you'll annoy all the thick-rimmed glasses wearing record store clerks.

meenmore

I wouldn't want to ruin the gig, no way. It was just a whim, seeing as there are a few here who are actually going, and it's a small venue, so we could actually identify ourselves as the boards gang.
Silly? Yes. Worth it? Perchance. Could turn out to be a major highlight.

Heisenberg.

I agree. Its incredible. One of the best albums of the 90s.


I would never roar at the Tengo. I'd just politely ask them to play it:D

meenmore

A polite roar will suffice...

brianw

i didnt realise anyone else liked them!
just discoverd them last year. had them on my ipod non stop for 3 weeks whilst travelling around japan.
i havent heard many bands who can pull off such diverse stuff on the same album and make it sound right.
really excited about seeing them
i recommend the album electr-o-pura. even for pablo and andrea alone

meenmore

Nice to know there's a good number of boards.ies headin'.

iercepa

really looking forward to it, fri booked off work so can give it 100%!

AnonoBoy

Annoyingly Wild Beasts are playing the same night in the Academy 2.

Would have liked to see those guys as well.

Ah man Ira Kaplan gonna on a mad one on the guitar with the hypnotic trance commin from the bass and guitar is as essential to yo le tengo as their pop songs. What do you think of Pass the Hatchet from I'm not afraid of You?I can't wait for this gig by the way, it'll be feckin great

seachto7

can't wait myself. I'm going on my own, as I will be to sonic youth too. none of me mates are into music really....

I've been checking out loads of live yo la tengo stuff online.....

Kid V

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Aridstarling

Quite disappointed really. Quiet songs were lovely, really engaging, the louder ones just kind of lost me to be honest, and I'm as big a fan of noise as the next man. Didn't seem to have any real energy. Ah well.

Were you at the same gig I was at?

The loud songs had great energy. Blue Line Swinger was outstanding! Ira was on great form.

Aridstarling

Difference of opinions I guess.

Couple of videos from the show here.
