It has been a while since we have heard from Matador darlings Yo La Tengo. While we are waiting for a new proper album to come out news of a few live dates have appeared. The band will be at WFMU’s fundraising broadcast next week and a select number of other dates. (Including being the live accompaniment to the science films of Jean Painleve.) In addition to the live dates Matador is issuing a cd set of Yo La Tengo’s past on March 22 called Prisoners Of Love: A Smattering Of Scintillating Senescent Songs, 1985-2003. It will be available as either a three-disc collection or two-disc set.
