Sugarcube

This was the song that introduced me to Yo La Tengo... more specifically, through their video clip.

My favourite bits in the video clip are:

• the "academy of rock" teacher who is dressed like he's from KISS and when he takes off the straps/vest to put it on a chair
• Ira getting busted for playing a clarinet in the toilets
• someone making a YLT drum cover with Van Halen-inspired lettering
• James throwing the tiny TV set out the window
• Georgia getting hit on ("I have a boyfriend")
• KISS dude getting Ira to gesture with his arm during the "for you" bit

I really love the dissonant guitar solo.
