Then he after building up a ton of feedback he set it on top of the amp, a roadie was there with another guitar and he grabbed it and continued the solo.

It was the greatest thing I'd ever witnessed probably.

i caught em in Nashville this past weekend, where they played two sets and an encore. incredible show. the Story of Yo La Tengo live was incredible, and Ira is insane to see play guitar live.

oh no it's cool, even so, solipsism is an awesome way to kill time in your own brain.

I just checked out the song. Was very nice. Are all of her songs this good?

yeah it's more of an observation than a code of ethics, i think. like quantum suicide or something.

most songs are even kinda better. if you liked it, check out that whole album- Legs to Make Us Longer. she sings on some records and has a couple that are almost entirely instrumental. i'd recommend Dreaming of Revenge and the new one, Glow.
