#yolatengo, #hanukkah night 5 at bowery ballroom. a vibed-out evening, building slowly from instrumental openers, joined for most by travis good of #thesadies on guitar, excellent foil to ira on 2-guitar jams & adding elegant color everywhere, like a frayed/fuzzed canadian dave schramm. "seasonal" songs by dylan, richman, c. king, & p. revere & the raiders. thoroughly enjoyed the guitar/bass weave of #horsegirl, too, whose music i didn't know & will now seek out. setlist: http://www.jessejarnow.com/2022/12/yo-la-tengo-hanukkah-2022-night-5-setlist/
oddness: one of eugene mirman's bits involved a "laundry #basquiat," which he had fabricated. turns out it would have been basquiat's 62nd birthday.
@bourgwick Tonight would be an excellent time for Horsegirl to do their cover of "History Lesson – Part II" in honor of d. boon.
@bourgwick *a laundry Basquiat

@bourgwick horse girl is my favorite baby band rn.
@bourgwick love the Horsegirl album, and they were great opening for Pavement
@conrad i was actually at that night but embarrassingly only caught the end of their last song, though the bowery was probably a better situation for me to get a proper first impression anyway.
