Last Week Around the -ISTs
Schieffer's Out of Gov Race
Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew, known throughout the world as Yo La Tengo, are one of the most beloved and respected groups in the history of indie music. Their music is timeless, atmospheric, and provocative. The best combo to ever blend innovative psychedelia and post-punk pop. Ira Kaplan is one of the all time guitar greats. He is easily up there with legends such as Kevin Shields, J. Mascis, Pete Townsend, and Lou Reed.
They are now more prolific then ever after contributing music to French filmmaker Jean Painleve documentaries and last year's I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass as well as contributing to the soundtracks for films such as Shortbus and The Science of Sleep.
Yo La Tengo are also a famously restless band. When they are not expanding their horizons in the studio; they are trotting the globe winning over the hearts of the next generation of fans. This Saturday,. Yo La Tengo grace our fair city with their presence once again on another one of their cross-country jaunts. Be sure to catch them. And catch them on our dime! Fill out the form for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the show.

I love that video. I love that song. Sadly, I'll be at Ted Leo on Saturday. That might be the toughest decision I've ever had to make.
how is this done? what, if any, transparency is in place to decide a winner of this draw? my regards.
they used to post the names of winners, but they stopped. wonder why?
The show has been cancelled due to the crap weather. No info on when it's going to be rescheduled. Bleah.
Any word on WHEN YLT is coming back? Saw Ted Leo on Saturday. Was glad (in the end) I made that decision, but it was definitely a toughie, weather forecast aside.
