What new releases are you looking forward to?
Posted by: Voltaire on 02 May 2009
I'll start the ball rolling...
Due on the 31st of July with the other two, very much looking forward ......
Yes Bert, that's the one I would have gone for but my experience of 3 and PG make me want to stick with my old vinyl.
Interesting concept now we have to see if we can listen to it or if it's too sleepy music....
Looking critically forward to this, again a kind of best off type of live effort, could be interesting, but could also be disappointing due to better earlier versions....
They are touring the UK in Oct and Dec.
Yo La Tengo late August 'Stuff Like That there'
Fresh off celebrating their 30th anniversary, Yo La Tengo will release Stuff Like That There on August 28th via Matador Records and will embark on a world tour starting September 23rd in Troy, NY (see dates here). The trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew now return as a quartet, reuniting with former member Dave Schramm on electric guitar as they revisit the original concept of their beloved Fakebook (a mix of cover songs, “covers” of Yo La Tengo songs, and brand new originals) on its 25th anniversary. This unprecedented live set-up — Ira on acoustic guitar, Georgia up-front on a small kit, and James on upright bass — marks the first occasion of this particular Yo La Tengo incarnation touring together (and since it took them 31 years to get around to doing so, could very well also be the last).
I am sold.

In September a complete Warner Recordings Box will come out. What's even is more interesting that the text talks about 24/96 remastering, which would mean that we also can expect new high resolution audio files from this collection.
4th of September..
Coming out in September on Bandcamp
Quite. Perhaps one needs to be in the know. And if one is not in the know, does one care? One thinks not.
The Music Matters Blue Note reissues seem to have been getting universal praise, so here's a couple I'm going to nab, mostly because first pressings are a bit out of my reach:
Larry Young, "Unity" (due in August):
Wayne Shorter, "Speak No Evil" (due in September):
