Yo La Tengo "Tom Courtenay"

Here's another Weekend Post:

Yesterday was my sister's birthday, so I was searching for "Julie" songs, and I remembered how much I liked this tune, which starts off with the line "Julie Christie, the rumors are true . . ."

I don't think I've ever seen this video, but I got a few good laughs out of it, especially with the Beatles references.


See the video on Youtube. 

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show.  They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are fun to revisit.

Yo La Tengo "Ohm"

There are some great artists who were close, but never quite fit mvyradio's sound or sensibility.

But then, as time went on, with the maturing sound of the band, and the evolving sound of the station, the band fit.

We didn't play early Decemberists records, but eventually the band softened a bit and the station started to sound more contemporary, so we added them.

We didn't play early Ben Folds.  But as he toned down the rocking/punky aspects of his music, and lyrically became more mature, we added him.

I've always thought Yo La Tengo could make a record that would work for mvyradio, but that they their style and ours hadn't quite crossed paths yet.

They've got a new song out, so it's a good time to check in with them.

I'm not to sure this is the meeting of sounds I'd been waiting for, but what do you think?


Hear the song on Youtube.

Yo La Tengo "Sugarcube"

Here's another Weekend Post:

This is one of my favorite music videos. And it features the guys from Mr. Show!

The only drawback to the video, is that there is a lot of dialogue over the song. That happens to be its strength, too. But if you want to just hear the song in all its fuzzy glory, the 2nd video is just the music.
