Hundred-Dollar Covers


"I'll donate a hundred dollars if you play 'Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man'."

Now there's something you don't hear every day. But apparently someone said just that last week!

YO LA TENGO played live "covers by request" for a WFMU fundraiser, each cover costing the requestor a hundred-dollar-or-more donation. The YOU AIN'T NO PICASSO blog was kind enough to start posting the MP3s. Some of the other hundred-dollar covers available now are "Dead Flowers", "Instant Karma", "Something In The Air", "Lay Lady Lay", "The Batman Theme", and more, with lots more to come, and all done in that inimitable Yo La Tengo style!

So head on over, have a listen, read some more about it, check out some of the other cool stuff they have, and maybe even make a donation while you're there.
