I was driving with a friend this morning, when "Over the Ocean" came on our college radio station, and I said "I constantly forget how much I love this band." She had the nerve to say... "Low are just a poor man's Yo La Tengo." I just about pushed her out of the moving vehicle, because:
1) I have never even thought of comparing Low and YLT before, because they are totally different bands
2) Low is not a "poor man's" anything, imo... they're a class act all their own
Anyway... who else loves these guys?
Today's incident inspired me to pop in the Christmas EP to help get me into the holiday spirit.
P.S. If all you're going to say is "they're boring", then save it, 'cause everyone's heard it before
P.S.S. I know there's going to be at least one of you who is defiant and says "they're boring" despite my warning, 'cause y'all are wacky like that.
