Speeding Motorcycle - Daniel Johnston + Yo La Tengo

More Yo La Tengo (I guess I'll just have to get this out of my system for the week), this one with howling folk genius Daniel Johnston.

The kids in the medical group - the art girls and the publisher who I used to talk about crime fiction with - used to go nuts for this song:

Speeding Motorcycle - Daniel Johnston + Yo La Tengo


They no longer work here.

(Part 2 in a continuing series which I will call, "No Longer Works Here". Part 1 here)

A great account of this recording can be read on the WFMU blog.

And, as mentioned earlier, don't miss the Daniel Johnston documentary.
