Yo La Tengo - Ride the Tiger (1986)

"The Way Some People Die" by Yo La Tengo


The Feelies did not play live very often, and when they did, the band rarely strayed from the New York and New Jersey area.  They played at the legendary CBGB's and Max's Kansas City semi-regularly, but the group's favorite venue to play was easily Maxwell's in Hoboken.  For the most part, The Feelies played Maxwell's only on holidays with the one exception being Hannukah... that's when the band Yo La Tengo would play.

Here is the discography surrounding Yo La Tengo's debut album:

The River of Water (1985 single)
Private Doberman (1985 compilation track)
Ride the Tiger
Heart's Expired (1986 compilation track)

"The Cone of Silence" by Yo La Tengo

  1. This artist was actually not what I expected. The Cone of Silence was fun. Ever heard of Jens Lekman?

  2. 'course, of course. Jens was actually a possible connection from David Vandervelde, but the connection wasn't strong enough to use. Glad you enjoyed Yo La Tengo.
