Yo La Tengo - Deeper Into Movies Live

I had my first listen to the Yo La Tengo's newish LP today, I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass. I thought it was time to take a trip back to the first stuff of theirs I knew, for they've not been mentioned around these parts. I initially had a look at the video for Tom Courtenay - still one of my favourite tracks of theirs. It was the first time I'd seen the video, and it was a touch disappointing, the mood of the video was at odds with the mood of the song. I have great love for that track as it was the first of theirs I knowingly heard. It's a shame it was the perfect example of a great song spoilt by its video - so I skipped it and went for the this noisy little beast instead. I'll post a nice live version of Tom Courtenay at a future point, having heard it once I didn't want it again straight away.

I saw them live last year in Cardiff and they were pretty awesome. Here's them doing a wee bit of a truncated version of Deeper Into Movies live from London this year, another one of their tracks I really love. It was my first listen of the new LP and it was promising - it sounded like it had walked up a few different avenues. A Yo La Tengo LP is never far from the shortlist, but until I know this new one - I had a craving for some of their classic material. The sound's a bit tinny buy enjoy.
