Gratuitous Pop Music Criticism (part one)

Yo La Tengo's alter ego band, Condo Fucks, has a CD out called "Fuckbook."

Hahaha.

It's a little disappointing that a band as smart as YLT thinks they need to get laughs by using the word "fuck."

Any moron can say "fuck." Like this: Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

What the fuck. Fuckin' A. Fuck you. Fuck me. Get fucked. Fuck off.

Fuckin' brilliant, if you give a fuck about such things.

In any event, the "Fuckbook" disc has the band charging through covers of Richard Hell, the Beach Boys, Slade and the Kinks, among others. It's one-take stuff and was probably recorded in a really big bathroom.

And it's fucking great. Go fucking buy it already.

Yo La Tengo does a mighty fine version of "Here Comes My Baby."
