Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World (2023)
This record is so refreshingly old school. Like similarly discordant outliers, Sonic Youth, it’s a messy, chunky but palatable goulash.

commentsThis record encompasses everything I like but is also unlike anything else I like. Does that make any sense? I really doesn’t need to.
commentsHad a bit of a false start with this one. Cable connection issues this evening from my turntable to my amplifier.
commentsThe themes were: Something fine, finessed, fragile or sofisticated, Something foreign, far-fetched, far out or unfamiliar, Something flamboyant, flashy, flaunting or florid
commentsThis band couldn’t make a bad album if they tried. Over nearly 30 years, and since 1992’s revelatory “May I Sing With Me”, I have been totally absorbed by their unique and consistently brilliant musical journey.
commentsAlong with Low, Pavement and Stereolab, the Tengos have been nothing but consistently great. This record is a wonderful blend of early Velvets and post-Daydream Nation Sonic Youth.
commentsYo La Tengo is not a band you play often. When you do, it’s an absolute revelation! No two listens are the same.
commentsThe themes were: One Word Songs. (Bonus points if led by a woman singer), Bonus Track
commentsJust organising some tracks for tonight and thought I really needed to play a track from the wonderful Yo La Tengo.
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.
