Yo La Tengo, for years, has been on my to-do list. All my friends who love to tell me what I should be listening to and/or wring their hair when I haven't waded into the waters of a particular band love them, but their massive back catalog always kept making me put it off. Until recently, and I concur. Yo La Tengo deserves all of the accolades they have received; they are an important band.
If anyone else wants to make a start on Yo La Tengo or if there is a fan out there that hasn't found a copy, check out NPR's stream of their new album, Popular Songs, right here.
As an added bonus, grab the first song from the album, Here To Fall from us.
