Call it a Day: Yo La Tengo Does Painlevé Tonight at Prospect Park
The pride of Hoboken meet the suffocating humidity of Brooklyn tonight as art-rockers Yo La Tengo drop by Prospect Park to perform their soundtrack to the mystifying underwater films of Jean Painlevé. Loyal YLT listeners will know the music from its debut five years ago at the San Francisco Film Festival and the CD release that followed later in 2001 (samples are available on the band's site).

This is a rare enough--and good enough--event that you should at least consider knocking off work early and navigating through the shit weather with a blanket and a six-pack (you can always count on The Reeler for short notice, but only because I can always count on you for short memories). Opener Samara Lubelski kicks things off at 7:30; the dreamy, sweltering show starts at sundown. Tell the boss your summer cold is acting up, hit the train and get a good spot early.
