Fifty-word review

Buy It

Yo La Tengo is your relentlessly cheerful, disgustingly talented best friend. He has defied trend by wearing rather creative variations of the same outfit for that entire duration, and at no time was his ability to sling chicks put to rest. You are astounded by his resilience and salute him.
