Yo La Tengo wants to beat your ass

That title is not exactly true. While the humble, New Jersey trio would much rather play music for you than harm you in any way, we can say this: The band's new album, I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, is fantastic. We've been playing it every day in the store, and we love it. It seems like Yo La Tengo is choosing to perform myriad styles across one record, and we just happen to think those styles come off most excellently on the new release.

Luckily, the kind folks at Matador Records are offering a great deal to any of our customers who pre-order the album. Those who do get to stream the album online for free until it comes out, and also get access to some bonus mp3's that won't be on the album. All you have to do is let us know you're interested, and give us your email address. But you only have a few days left, since the album comes out this coming Tuesday, September 12th. If you're interested in this awesome deal, all you have to do is send us an email. To top it all off, we reward all pre-orderers with $2 off the CD. What are you waiting for? Send us an email!!!

Oh, and check out the season pass official site to look at the Decatur CD logo. You can see it here. Rock on...
