#YoLaTengo, #hanukkah night 6 at the bowery ballroom featuring #CalvinTrillin reading about a tic-tac-toe playing chinatown chicken, then YLT with quiet/heavy/deep #jazz augmentation by mali obomsawin & band (who played a stunning opening set to an incredibly respectful crowd, doubly so for the friday of xmas weekend), plus "seasonal" classics by the velvet underground, the shangri-las, & the angry samoans. setlist: http://www.jessejarnow.com/2022/12/yo-la-tengo-hanukkah-2022-night-6-setlist/
not that anybody is sitting around waiting for my year-end list of favorite music, but being blown away by horsegirl & mali obomsawin over the past 2 nights during their surprise opening sets for yo la tengo is why i don't make year-end lists until the actual end of the year.
J T. Ramsay@bourgwick this is why I tend to default to "these are the 100 or so albums I enjoyed" because there's always stuff I really liked, but listened to just once or twice, not to mention everything I miss altogether.
@jtramsay not sure what the distinction is?
@bourgwick totally in agreement. I’ve also always been uncomfortable with ranked lists.
@jtramsay oh yeah, fuck ranking. I make a long list & asterisk however many were extra meaningful to me.
Greg Sasso@bourgwick the horsegirl album is great. Some of it reminds me of the courtneys
neddyo@bourgwick the MO album is truly great
Scott McDowell@bourgwick I thought horsegirl was really great !
Dave Goldstein@bourgwick @longrally they were fantastic. So poised. Album is great too.
Zach Schonfeld@bourgwick What an incredible setlist
Harvey Road@bourgwick - Anything on the Archive from this run yet? Dying to hear these. - Cold In Seattle
@harveyroad sadly, no open taping policy so won't be there. lots is on YouTube already.
@bourgwick - I’ll take what I can get at this point. Really want to hear last night especially.
christyotwisty 🇨🇦 (prime acc@bourgwick wowser of a coincidence I had watched "Christmas at Moose Factory" film by Alanis Obamsawin that night.
Burning Ambulance@bourgwick TIL that Calvin Trillin is still alive!
Backwash of Fennario@bourgwick wait what? Trillin was in the house??
@ericpooley hitting the stage in roughly 23 minutes.
Sean HoweSo bummed to miss Calvin Trillin's debut performance with Soundtrackappella.
