David Cross reviews the new Yo La Tengo
"The best record David Cross never heard
Yo La Tengo's debut CD, I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass: The Florence Nightingale Story is filled with the cranky meanderings of today's new nu rock. Forged in hubris and leather, this New Jersey (and Brooklyn!?) trio consisting of the fat guy and two Jews are quite capable of taking us on one wild and wacky ride through the debauched underworld of the "Indiers." I have not listened to the CD, nor will I, but I nonetheless review it based on the track titles alone."
