funny to see all these yo la tengo tracks, ira and Georgia lived in my town for many years. I'd see them a few times a week riding their bicycles down the street or in line at the market.
also saw at least a dozen of their infamous annual Hanukkah shows at maxwell's. for each of the eight nights of Hanukkah, they'd book a famous comedian and secret opening band before they came on, play a different set each night and later joined by special guests for encores. I've seen them with David Byrne, El-P, John zorn, mission of Burma, the sea & cake, tortoise, the feelies, ray Davies, Ronnie Spector, sun ra arkestra and others. they were benefit show, each night's take going to a different charity. good people.
