With a carreer spanning over more than 30 years Yo-La Tengo made it somewhat difficult to create “Splendid Picks” compilation. After some thinking I decided to lean a bit towards their more accessible songs taken from their albums/EPs “Fakebook”, “May I Swing With Me”, “Upside-Down EP”, “Painful”, “Shaker EP”, “Electr-O-Pura”, “I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One”, “Summer Sun”, “I’m Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass”, “Popular Songs”, “Fade”, Stuff Like That There” and “There’s a Riot Going On”.
