Today's band of the day is Yo La Tengo. I've been familiar with them for many years from the radio station, but I went to their website for the first time today. They have a song from their new album The Sounds of the Sounds of Science up there, an 11 minute awesome instrumental called "The Love Life of the Octopus". This album is only available from them, and is all music they wrote to accompany underwater documentary films by Jean Painleve. Add this to the Aimee Mann album as ones where I woudn't have had a purchasing decision unless I had heard about it via the Internet. mfortable with infrequent but heroic efforts, doing nothing for a long time then working for 18 hours straight on something. It's been my experience that sustained and consistent effort always gets you more real results than occasional bursts of enthusiasm.
