Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out (2000)
Just organising some tracks for tonight and thought I really needed to play a track from the wonderful Yo La Tengo.

commentsAnother messy, lower than lo-fi chunk of American noise/Krautrock from London’s Hamstead. WTF, I always assumed they were American! After some fact checking I found out they were actually part of the Camden lurch scene of the early to mid 90’s.
commentsOne of my favourite slabs of vinyl gets some rotation time this afternoon. I usually don’t bother with remastered, re-purposed and re-marketed records that have an abundance of demos, b-sides and obscurities that you might listen to once.
commentsI laughed myself silly this morning while walking the dog with my wife Sarah. On the last stretch home, Sarah stopped walking, hopped on to one leg and proclaimed “I’ve got stones in my groove”.
commentsI should have played Rory this evening. “Too Much Alcohol” perhaps? OK it’s Friday post-work - we have two choices. Go home and do some housework or have a friendly pint at The Free House.
commentsI was really hesitant about playing this record today and as I later found out, for very good reason. On a morning walk with the dog, I listened to my favourite podcast, Marc Maron’s WTF .
commentsI picked this up a couple of years ago on vinyl at some second hand shop but hadn’t felt any need to give it a spin since.
commentsRemember this day! It’s up there with JFK’s assassination and the death of Lady Diana. But in my world, undoubtedly, more significant.
commentsThis is the Talking Heads record that got away. While familiar with some of the songs on subsequent live records or compilations, this is the first time I’ve actually had the pleasure of listening to the whole record.
commentsTheme: “take the rough with the smooth” (however you wish to interpret).
