Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  Yo La Tengo are the indie band that just keeps going. With a married couple at its core, a deep love of 60s pop, and an abiding interest in fuzzy guitar, YLT is an electric live act that hit a commercial and critical peak with their 8th full length album. Rob, Adam, and Allan get together to discuss melodic noise, nerd rock, and Mr Magoo.
