Yo La Tengo interview 1997

[@sebastianquilt]

Yo La Tengo should be pushed more as great examples of musicians/artists who were late bloomers, individually driven, and reaching great heights in talents later in age (today's culture glorifies youth, not age for this. Ira's 40 here). They don't make music making a rat race but a thing some people do. A beautiful band.

The most incredible thing is they are still making great albums! Just last year even.

I can't believe Kaplan is 40 here, he looks like he could be literally 22

[@nissimbegas3209]

you should see what he looked like in 1985

[@k2young999]

You mean he's now 62?

[@kreitz1]

@@k2young999 Yes!

In The Summer music video there were only two members.

Host: So what's the story behind your name? Ira: We'd rather leave it a mystery. Host: OK, then allow me to kill the mystery and trounce upon your wishes by telling people the story behind your name. WHAT A BONEHEAD MOVE.

The host is so passive aggressive! He has this weird way of sprinkling gratuitously rude little comments into the standard morning television anchor shtick. "That's not terribly responsive!" "The torture is over!" Also I love how he seems to have completely misunderstood their record ("There's a sort of spookiness in this album"...???)
