What’s Listening – Yo La Tengo

Time for something new. Every month I will be showcasing a different artist and album that I’m currently listening to. More than just browsing these artists, I’m going to be purchasing an album from each group in order to give them a fair representation and to increase their availability to others.

January’s profile is Yo La Tengo with their album “I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass.”

Every song on this CD feels completely different from the next in both performance and tone, all of which have a sort of 60s feel to them. It’s the only album I’ve encountered that actually fills up a CD, providing almost 80 minutes of music (twice as much as most artists give you). Top songs include “Beanbag Chair,” “Black Flowers,” and my new favorite song “Mr. Tough.”

Check out some free music to download from their website:
