This is not the new Yo La Tengo album

You've probably never heard of Condo Fucks, but you will... They're the latest incarnation of Yo La Tengo, a band that will try anything once. Fuckbook is a big collection of old style rock n' roll songs with a sound straight from the 1960's and 70's... Ah, the 60's, such a simpler time or so I've been told. The songs have that sound of classic bands like The Clash, The Sex Pistols, anyone really who made music around that time.



Unfortunately the internet hasn't quite discovered this gem of an album yet, but give it time. Not even their myspace page makes reference to this, nor does it to any other of their "side projects". However, the monopolistic yet useful Amazon has some album previews up, though the clips don't do the album justice really. Though they do have used copies of the CD for $4 which you can't shake a stick at.

Go out, get the album, and I can promise you you'll enjoy it. It's (not) Yo La Tengo after all!
