Every year, Yo La Tengo do an all-request show to raise money for NY/NJ radio station WFMU. So what typically happens is people call in and ask the band to play a cover. Even if the band doesn’t know the lyrics or the music, they do it, often to great result.
This website has all 28 songs they did this year in MP3 format. Download away, mates.
Highlights include: Happiness is a Warm Gun – The Beatles /// Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon /// Sympathy for the Devil – The Rolling Stones and so much much more.
