• Ira goes from Cartoon Network to politician George McGovern in this interview with Louisville’s Courier-Journal.

• James tells The Athens News he doesn’t know what Greg Ginn was thinking when he wrote “Nervous Breakdown”…

• But maybe he would find out after days of waking up at 6:00 am to talk to Morning Zoo DJs?

Vincent Moon and La Blogotheque happen to catch the band on a leisurely stroll through Montmartre back in June.

• Check out an interview Ira & James did earlier this year from the Primavera Music Festival. (Note: not a streaming video, you’ll have to visit their site to watch it.)

• If you speak French, you may enjoy this interview at Waxx Music. I skimmed it, and sadly, the only words I knew were “Lynyrd” and “Skynyrd.”

• And if you missed the live stream of their September 17th show at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC, NPR has archived the session here.

• Ira confesses to The Onion’s AV Club about the in-band fistfights.

• James lobbies to do the soundtrack for the next Steven Seagal movie in this interview with DC.decider.com.

• And who would’ve thought Billboard.com couldn’t use the word “Fuck”?

• NPR will be webcasting the band’s next show, tomorrow Thursday, September 17th at approximately 9:30 p.m. ET from Washington, D.C.’s 9:30 Club. That should be easy to remember.

• Ira dishes about that ill-fated NASCAR collaboration to Paste Magazine. They also seem to trust his ears.

• I can’t do better than Spinner.com’s headline: Yo La Tengo Make It 25 Years Without Killing Anyone. (I guess they didn’t hear about this.)

• And finally, James offers up his thoughts on the music of the 00s for Pitchfork.

Got some news about that September 25th show at the Roseland Ballroom in New York. It had already been announced that The Black Lips would be opening, but get there earlier and be treated to the Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co., manufacturing some ballads, boogie and blues out in the lobby.

I also overheard Ira reminiscing about seeing the Joshua Light Show at the Fillmore East… Well, joining those aforementioned bands at the Roseland will be Joshua White and Gary Panter’s Light Show. You might remember Gary Panter from such album covers as I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, or TV shows like “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.” Their upcoming performance might or might not be something like this (taken from a 2005 performance at the Anthology Film Archives, NYC):

Apparently there’s even more news to come about this show, but I got distracted by the Guazzetto Di Cozze E Cannellini on the stove… I’ll keep you posted.
