Can Part 1: 1968-1973

It's a long one, so buckle up Nick and Ewan are joined again by Ben Zimmer, Jesse Jarnow, and Jeffrey Lewis to talk through the work of Yo La Tengo this century. We get side-tracked a little by Ewan getting excited about Slade. As you know Ben is a renowned linguist and lexicographer, and big Yo La Tengo fan. Jeffrey is, quite simply, a phenomenal musician, singer, songwriter, and comic book artist; he is also a massive Yo La Tengo fan. Jesse? Well Jesse literally wrote the book on Yo La Tengo: Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the rise of Indie Rock. Join us for an in depth look at the second half of the career of Yo La Tengo, and see if the band re-find that loud sound from their early years. As usual, take your time.
