Anon 10:32,
Yo La Tengo is the last pool party i.e. free show there. Sonic Youth is the last show there ever.
This is pretty awesome. I was wondering when some Jersey bands were going to play the pool. I'll be there.

don't bother showing up at 2, you won't get in. i'll be there at noon with a hooka and a pizza.

lol for yo la tengo/titus andronicus? i think it'll be alright to show up at 2.

Wouldn't it be better to pay $30 to see Yo La Tengo in Maxwells during the holidays then to wait 4 hours to get in?

what about black keys/tapes n tapes?

i agree with 11:18.
YLT are not some bullshit radio band like MGMT.
They barely sell out webster that is 1500. the pool is like 5500 tix. who knows how many when free.

OMG! Ebony Bones is playing!!
Greatest line up in history - is she playing any other shows?

Yo La Tengo must like to play last shows at places.
They played the last night at Magnetic Field, and now this.

! ebony bones !
great, can't wait
Posted by snag | August 1, 2008 5:29 PM
this show will probably get packed by 2 PM, but I bet a bunch of those dummies will get bored and go to the Turkey's Nest and listen to Journey (or whatever one does at that place) 3 songs into YLT's set.
that's why I love them: they're so amazing, dumb ting tingers can't even begin to get it.
YAY for shittalk!
