I was in the elevator of WFMU with this guy a few years ago when I first started volunteering there and was like, “Hi, what’s your name?  Ira Kaplan?  Cool, are you a volunteer too?”  And he was like, “Uhhhhhh, sort of.”  And then he got out.  Someone told me the other day that Ira’s band Yo La Tengo band is kinda famous.  I dunno.  He did have a cool haircut.  I’m thinking about checking out this new record Yo La Tengo has coming up called Popular Songs, to be released September 8th on Matador.  I do like this single they just released.  But I might just spend my money on the upcoming Diddy album.  He’s so fresh!
