No doubt on that imo

Went to YouTube and was hoping to find a video for "She May, She Might" as great as the one they made for "I'll Be Around," but there's just something generic and static.

Sadly not archived by WFMU

What's the reason they don't archive these specifically? For future release? Bums me out because I almost always have something conflicting with them doing this and I usually only get to hear bits and pieces, at best.

Yo la Tengo play the songs by request during fundraising that must come accompanied by large donations. WFMU & Yo La Tengo probably think making the renditions easily available after will discourage donations and the uniqueness of what they are doing once a year

i always assumed that plus maybe a bit of embarrassment, not wanting those sets hanging out there on the web with their name on them permanently

also risk of lawsuit by music publishers

wow There's A Riot Going On is even better than I remembered, works really well as a whole album listening through.
