This is beyond meta: Teenage Fanclub, who directly inspired Yo La Tengo, a band famed for their outstanding cover versions, repaying the compliment by covering one of theirs in return.

Released in August 1995, two years after Yo La Tengo’s original, it was the B-side to the Fannies’ single Neil Jung.

Like so much by YLT, this is an instrumental, gliding along on a sinuous rhythm with guitars shimmering and fuzzing and freaking out. And, well, that’s about all there is to say.

Except that it sounds best at high volume, coming out of good stereo speakers, on a sunshiney summer day. 

And that it’s sheer bliss.
