As of press time, police and emergency rescue workers were still sifting through the wreckage for copies of Magnet, heated debates over the definition of emo, and other signs of record-store-clerk life.

Oh my God. OH MY GOD! Ethan, if you're reading this, please post now!

Ethan hates Yo La Tengo. He wouldn't be caught dead there. (Ha.)

Ethan hates Yo La Tengo? What a wise, wonderful man he is, then.

More compelling evidence that Ned is a poo poo head. (The article is still funny, though.)

Bah! Perhaps less active hate and more savage indifference on my part in the end, but still way overrated in my book.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Clearly it was written by a Yo La Tengo loving record store clerk and can only be appreciated by other record store clerks. Next time I'm in a store I'll have one expain it to me.

C'mon, give in to the rock!

It was precisely seeing YLT's attempts to rock way the hell back when that set me against the damn band!

Eh...that one was pretty lame compared to the bizarre story about the mean dog that will protect America from terrorists.

No prizes for attaching it to a particular poster.

Is there anyone on ILM that really embodies band 90's cheese punk?
