The most consistently accessible of Yo La Tengo's releases, FAKEBOOK is a decidedly user-friendly set of mostly cover songs, but since the songs are well off the beaten track, they will likely be unfamiliar to people without voluminous record collections. While the band is all about extremes--alternating between gentle strumming and folksy harmonies to all-out squalling feedback jams--FAKEBOOK showcases their quiet side. It is a soothing, pretty record, yet with a loose, pleasing raggedness that is one of the band's strong suits.

Guitarist Ira Kaplan was a rock critic before forming Yo La, and he clearly has an encyclopedic knowledge of rock music. The group has its way with such marvelous obscurities as the semi-legendary Flamin' Groovies' "You Tore Me Down," a not-well-known Kinks song ("Oklahoma"), John Cale's tender "Andalucia" (cleverly rhyming "cia" with "see ya") and other even less-well known ditties. Among the many highlights is their lilting take on the early-Cat Stevens chestnut "Here Comes My Baby," repopularized in 1999 on the soundtrack to the movie "Rushmore," and the haunting "Yellow Sarong." They even cover themselves on gentle remakes of "Barnaby Hardly Working" and "Did I Tell You?" and serve up another stirring original, "The Summer."

Recorded at Water Music, Hoboken, New Jersey.

Spin (11/90) - "...documents the pleasures of staying at home, pulling out that trusty acoustic guitar, and singing pretty....Very lovely..."

Yo La Tengo May I Sing With Me CD  (1992)

Fakebook album
CD $12.39  Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
With this 1992 release, Yo La Tengo took a bit of a leap forward. Production-wise, the sound is fuller and more reflective of the passion and fury of their intense live performances than ever before. Additionally, the core group solidified with the addition of bassist James McNew, who has remained with the group ever since. Despite these changes, the group still tends to operate in about three gears: the gentle, the harsh and the hypnotic. The record begins with drummer Hubley's "Detouring ...

Yo La Tengo Ride The Tiger CD  (1986) Reissued

Fakebook songs
CD $8.79  Top 500 Audio Samples
The debut release by Yo La Tengo captures the group in their most raw and ragged incarnation. Guitarist Kaplan was working as a sound-man and rock critic when his basement jam sessions with his drummer girlfriend Georgia Hubley (later wife) inspired him to get a band together. The inner sleeve includes the original ads they placed in the Village Voice looking for a guitarist and bassist whose influences included Love and Mission of Burma. While these influences are certainly present in these 15 songs, the most obvious influence is that of the Velvet Underground. Kaplan's speak-singing style of vocalization, the scratchy rhythm guitar and the solid, minimal drumming all recall the Velvets aesthetic. Produced with stark minimalism by former Mission of Burma ...

Yo La Tengo began life as one among hundreds of Velvet Underground-inspired bands, banging out dark, skittish tunes that displayed YLT guitarist/vocalist Ira Kaplan's affection for Uncle Lou as well as Yo La Tengo's commitment to creating a gently subversive groove. Over the years, the band, which also features Kaplan's wife Georgia Hubley on drums and vocals, has gone through more ...

This is the CD companion to the PBS documentary GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT: THE LEGACY OF SUN RECORDS. Based on the PBS documentary "Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy Of Sun Records," this compendium features mostly baby boomer acts paying tribute to the legendary Memphis recording studio widely credited as being the cradle of rock & roll. Appropriately produced by Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, this stellar collection is rife with '60s and '70s rockers, kicking off with Paul McCartney ripping into Arthur Crudup's pioneering "That's All Right" with help from former Elvis sidemen Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. ...
