Edit: The good stuff started with Fakebook really.
Yeah, nice album... good covers of some interesting choices, including the song 'Grizelda' by Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders/Fugs, who also appears on 'Cry Cry Cry'. Since then Yo La Tengo have worked with and toured with a lot of musical greats.
BTW, Stampfel is on Facebook and pretty active there these days.
