Man, I love this song. And this band. DH informs me that Yo La Tengo is the band I need to see live next. After watching this video, I completely agree. It's to do with the awesome.
It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
That was awesome!! You definitely need to see them. It is so cool to see them live. They are just chill and do their thing.
ReplyDeleteBy Hawking's chair! This is the greatest video that ever was. This kicks the moon landing's butt. Suddenly...I have it all.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! What this vid doesn't show is ear-bleeding stupor of the crowd from the previous (and likely, the following) song.
ReplyDeletePain has never been so fun.
I just keep watching it and grinning. I've almost got all the moves down...
