Yo La Tengo's Closet Picks

[@Ocean-vp3ow]

Nice to see them going ”deeper into movies” :)

[@nicklager1666]

I enjoy a little bit of musicians in the closet.

[@nwgverified]

You must have enjoyed Ricky Martin then

[@_wanderingrocks_]

I couldn’t love Yo La Tengo more than I already do 💜

[@evanmichael3153]

Yo La Tengo did the soundtrack to Old Joy, also in the Criterion Collection & a personal favorite 🤟❤🤟

[@marioj.machado6449]

Amazing film that not a lot of people talk about

[@jimreplicant]

I didn’t know that! I need to see old joy. YLT also does music for some of the painleve films also on criterion. They are underwater films about ocean life from the 40’s, pretty cool if you haven’t seen it

[@rockugotcha]

That movie is bold and subtle at the same time. Very interesting framing.

[@evanmichael3153]

@@jimreplicant They Shoot, We Score (rad title) has all their soundtrack work from four films (Old Joy, Junebug, Shortbus & Game 6)

[@jmason61]

Old joy kinda freaked me out & not in a good way

[@DiegoMonroy2000]

i’m gonna cry!!!! theses are the sweetest people ever!!!!

[@hyunstealth32104]

The Daytrippers The Complete Monterey Pop boxset Black Girl Beyond the Valley of the Dolls I Wanna Hold Your Hand The Velvet Underground Tokyo Story The Girl Can't Help It Ministry of Fear Carnival of Souls Briefly mentions: The Godzilla Showa-Era boxset (Son of Godzilla) The Brood

[@akf2000]

Thank you!

[@duncansamways1363]

My favourite band, picking some great movies. ❤

[@Psergiorivera]

This was fun! To see them pick their favorites? GREAT STUFF!

[@tommerstr]

[@deadbars8755]

We need Death Grips to be in this closet

[@bacht4799]

That would be fun ..

20 copies of Sálo

[@jcole4517]

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is…..something. Great pick

[@SteveEvansMA]

I adore Yo La Tengo. Their film selections are sublime.

[@LKitesar]

I'm seeing them on Saturday!

[@macmann1956]

Me too ! In Chicago and I will see you there

[@zaphyra-]

Great band

[@isaacmartinez6904]

Amazing choices from a band that I must take a listen too. Great choice on Tokyo Story and I Wanna Hold Your Hand.

[@mitchellbarry8019]

Throw on, I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One. Nothing better.

[@MaxMax-zo9vq]

⁠@@mitchellbarry8019As well as Painful and And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out. All three are some of the best indie rock and pop you can listen to imo

[@iamsheep]

And Godzilla!

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

Fantastic band. Cool picks.

[@ronggearrob9622]

There is never enough Jonathon Richman interviews :)

[@flrnce]

I’m gonna be so insufferable about this to my friends this week

[@bc5327]

Love how these have been coming out just in time for my second break at work, thanks!

[@elliotgoodine954]

The Kelly Reichardt movie Old Joy, which I adore, is part of the collection and was scored by Yo La Tengo.

[@TheJohnDoeLibraryRoom.]

Yes! Someone finally picked a Fritz Lang!!

[@finslaw]

I'd take M and then wonder where The Big Heat and Scarlet Street are at.

[@MeredithWhitfield]

i saw ira and georgia introduce a screening of daddy longlegs earlier this year. they were so into it!

[@SaintMartins]

Comforting to see Yo La Tengo is still around. Seen them live for the first time back in 1992 when they opened for My Bloody Valentine. MORE musicians doing "closet picks" please.

[@Stonecutter334]

I saw them for the first time opening for The Feelies in 1989

[@gameofvelets6421]

Damn y'all are old af

[@DeadAwake]

@@gameofvelets6421😂😂

[@andrewrrichards]

Loved how they did the soundtrack to Old Joy. My favorite soundtrack right next to Kevin Shields’s work for Lost in Translation

[@TTM9691]

Wow, I want to see the Criterion version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", I had no idea THAT movie was given the full Criterion treatment! I always thought of it as a guilty pleasure! I feel strangely proud!

[@burlcummings5753]

Starring Dick Miller.

[@troygaspard6732]

They had that whole Tiny Tim thing backstage.

[@cherryblue7679]

they’re so cute 😭😭😭😭 love this band so bad

[@ellienomaly]

i love you YLT !! thank you for turning my life inside-out

[@playlistaccount]

Nice. You can have it all is literally one of my favourite song ever

[@thoseguyswhomakefnl]

Deeper into movies

[@reaganwiles_art]

These guys are really stoked!

[@bombaytalkie.]

There's Cool. And then there's Yo La Tengo in the Criterion Closet.

[@DocSportello1970]

Shout out to WFMU starting @ 2:35

[@Carlos-nx4gr]

He hard passed on The Brood 😅 I'd take that DVD in a heartbeat lol

[@coltonc7832]

Oh man there really aren't enough interviews of Jonathan Richman in the world...

[@johnta17]

They are on the marquee at paradise rock club near my house in Boston

[@benhoward3171]

As soon as The Daytrippers was pulled out I knew this was going to be good.

[@Fordham1969]

Besides being a fine film, I Wanna Hold Your Hand has the striking distinction of having quite a large number of actual Beatle tracks playing throughout the movie, I highly doubt any other scripted film has even close to that many (I'm not just talking about Beatles songs now, I mean their original recorded versions). These days even if The Beatles reps allowed it it would cost a small fortune to get it done.

[@Ocean-vp3ow]

Ohh what a nice surprise! My favorite band😊❤❤

[@finslaw]

Kudos to whoever mentioned Son of Godzilla (is the Godzilla box set not there?) and then nabbed Carnival of Souls.

[@denisefreitas6727]

They have good taste in movies!

[@ahmezi]

more like that, people we like who are not in the movie business, talking genuinely about films

[@stephenkane2464]

First baby 🎉🎉🎉 yo la tengo!! 🕺 💃

[@casablanca2745]

Great band, great picks. Anyone know if they ever did a What’s in my Bag at Amoeba Records?

[@bryankellam5801]

Ira and James did one. Sadly no Georgia :(

[@LASERDISCDREAM]

The best criterion closet u pick. 😊❤

[@rebbysharp2778]

Hooray I love this one. I love these guys

[@gnalkhere]

Does this mean there'll be a Jean Painleve Blu-ray upgrade???

[@johnlefsky8731]

They have done numereous film soundtracks, but it's worth mentioning that the parents of drummer/vocalist Georgia Hubley were animators John and Faith Hubley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoTZqHebm5tqjc0

[@Oneirophrenic]

Makes me wanna find all the films they scored.

[@fredhannum4015]

Did Criterion release 'the Uninvited ' ? It's the best Ray Miland movie. Did you know Ray Miland was the personal guard for the Queen in Buckingham Palace. ?

[@dm6801]

Damn they are getting deeper into movies

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

This is beyond cool and amazing….

[@shiobuzz3724]

Did not expect THIS wow

[@thevoid99]

this is cool. i hope they get NIN to be in the closet as i would love to know trent reznor's taste in films aside from david lynch and david fincher.

[@colinwoods9601]

Maybe my favorite band name ever.

[@SamPockerOfficial]

Best episode ever.

[@markiejunkie]

i love Yo La Tengo.

[@DrakeEastwood]

[@b00mjams]

good timing. see you in homer tonight

[@JoannaT2]

Anyone see Short Bus? Probably the last movie I would've expected a Yo La Tengo cameo / soundtrack from

[@petermot645]

Hooray ! somebody finally picked Carnival of souls, the most creepy movie ever !

[@grantwilkins6599]

Certainly getting deeper into movies

[@fatboymatt]

There should be more lesser known comedians who do a lot of sketches and commercials in the closet. Maybe ones with large tiktok followings who have large physical media collections. And host a wrestling podcast. More of those. 🥺

[@gabbii_v]

LOVE U GUYS!!!

Who at criterion is responsible for censoring movies? I would just like to know who decides what edits to make.

[@mackereltacos2850]

The name is Editor McEditorface and they get paid a billion dollars for every edit they make

So, we're just dragging indie rock stalwarts into the closet now, are we?

[@bacht4799]

Yeah .. because they are the right choice to this kind of thing.. the laidback attitude of “ I was just bicycling here in enjoying a organic smoothie with strawberries and listening to this podcast from a left wing comedian and is a little bit sleepy because I just got finished reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoj and listening to this new feminist lesbians indie pop band I found in the record shop yesterday and got little late because of that plus that organic wine which was perfect to that vegan dish we got while watching Breathless.. “ that the people they want .. because that is the people who watching this program wants or something like that..
