Yo La Tengo - "Sugarcube"

I love, love, love this video. I'm posting it today for the following reasons:

1) The album it's from, "I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One," is a fall record to me (possibly due to the inclusion of the song "Autumn Sweater"), and there's been a hint of a chill in the Chicago air lately;
2) It's almost Halloween, and this video has costumes;
3) It features Bob and David from Mr. Show. Hooray!



(I could dissect this video and use it to discuss the "industry," what's wrong with major corporate labels, the production of an image and the manufactured culture of rebellion, the concept of authenticity, etc. etc. etc. Really, though, I just like the video.)

This is one of my favorite fall records, too. I like to listen to it when I'm baking and the air is crisp outside.
