This is so, so good. I'm seeing them tomorrow and could not be more excited

I gotta take issue with this though, especially as it pertains to Dino Jr. because c'mon Farm fucking rules.

It’s been four long years since Yo La Tengo last blessed the listening public with the wonderful Popular Songs, twelve tracks of somewhat epic, somewhat melancholic, always experimental indie rock that boosted them head and shoulders above their peers in bands such as Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr who, in that particular year, appeared to have settled for audience pleasing rather than evolving.
