By contrast with Modest Mouse, I'm now listening to a Yo La Tengo album from 1993 and I feel like I'm back with my people and the world has relaxed to a pace I feel comfortable with. It's 1993 and I'm listening to bands with lots of Velvet Underground and Television albums in their collection.
Bands familiar with the mean streets of Manhattan who gravitate to the record shops and cafes of Greenwich Village. Who wish they'd been a little bit older than they were so they could have seen Blondie and The Ramones in 1975 at CBGB's who know they'll start getting into Jazz as they grow older. Who are comfortable in their uncomfortable skin.
