I chatted with Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo about cover songs, Arlo Guthrie and a lot more.
My favorite quote from the interview: “I remember just the terror of doing that and then the discovery of playing to a room of your friends and your family, which you think would be easier, is actually much harder. … You feel like you’ve assembled a room full of people who see through you. Strangers, they don’t know any better.”
The rest went a little something like this.
