Playing: The Needle Drop: Yo La Tengo and HEALTH
From: WNPR

Yo_la_tengo-_popular_songs_small Yo La Tengo's eclecticism has been the engine in their Miata for over 20 years now. Popular Songs is their latest LP, and saying it's two-faced is an understatement. While one song seduces you, the next is working on stealing your wallet.

We've also got tracks from the latest HEALTH LP, and the show's metal debut with a new track from Black Cobra.
