This review is from: You Can Have It All (Audio CD)

Taken from the And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out album, the single for "You Can Have It All" features two mixes of the title track with a cover of the Bonzo Dog Band's "Ready-Mades".

The title track is a great pop piece, featuring a bouncing backing vocal, a chugging rhythm and a fantastic cello counter to Georgia Hubley's lead vocal. It's remix is something I could live without-- it adds extra layers of drumbeats and pulls Hubley's vocal straight out in front-- I'm happier with the original mix on this one. "Ready-Mades" is a fairly unusual performance, gentle vocals and swelling horns provide for an intriguing mix on the piece-- it's not indespensable, but it's awfully good.

Still, there's not enough on here to make it worth tracking down by all but the biggest diehard of the band.

I have to admit, I bought this single not because I'm a fan of Yo la Tengo, but because I'm a huge fan of the Upright Citizen's Brigade. For those of you who don't know the wonders of the UCB, this is a picture of Colby (played by Amy Poehler) during the Spagetti Jesus (Spirituality Expo) episode. When I found this cd (at Borders, no less) I started laughing hysterically, & it's safe to say it made my week. After listening to it a few times, I'm not really impressed, but again, I'm not really a Yo la Tengo fan either. So I guess the point is, the Upright Citizens Brigade rocks & so does Yo la Tengo since they used the picture for their cd cover. That's all.
