If you’ve been on the Internet, you are probably aware of the band’s yearly “Yo La Tengo is murdering the classics”-gig, where the band takes requests for the illustrious radio station WFMU. I recorded one such session in 2008 (briefly discussed here<\/a>), which was exactly right before I moved to work in SJ.

Today’s ‘Past The Bridge’ sample is the full track of Yo La Tengo’s rendition of The Clean’s “Tally Ho” – the full track can be found in my media section<\/a>. Compare that with the original, and judge for yourself (Single Youtube Link<\/a>)\n<\/p>\n
