Today's "Best Song Ever"

Yo La Tengo "Beanbag"

In hindesite the last Yo La Tengo album, the ultimately very pleasant and yet still mildly dissapointing Summer Sun, was really a very sunny pop album played at comatose tempos. This song from their new album (entitled I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass) seems to rectify all of the problems of the last one. They Up the tempo to a lite gallup, add horns, and a fuzz guitar and make some of the prettiest harmonies of their career. I've put it on my My Space!
