    Did you have any particular angle or intent going into this album? Was there a certain point of view or emphasis shaping it? IRA KAPLAN:The simple answer is no. We just kind of get together and try to make some music that we like. And not even necessarily thinking about writing a song or even thinking about playing it a second time. We just get tog...

    You appeared in this farcical promo for your record label doing some kind of guitar thing — I’m not sure exactly how to describe it. Do you remember how that was pitched to you and how you got looped into it? KAPLAN:I barely remember. I believe there’s some post-production guitar noise or feedback or something that really called upon my acting to i...

    KAPLAN: I guess it would have been 1997 probably, we were playing at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. And I was selling merchandise, and somebody came up to me and said they worked on The Simpsons. And I asked his name, and he goes, “Well, you’re not gonna know. My name’s Donick Cary.” I said, “You’re Donick Cary? Oh my god! We’re such huge Simpsonsf...

    You did the score for your longtime friend Phil Morrison’s movie Junebug, which was a breakout role for Amy Adams. You had done the soundtrack for Jean Painlevé’s The Sounds Of The Sounds Of Sciencea few years before this, but was this the first non-documentary score you did? KAPLAN: It was and it wasn’t because in just a crazy coincidence we got a...

    Mac was just one of your surprise guests at your Hanukkah shows a few weeks ago. KAPLAN:Yeah, that was great! Any musician friend of ours who says they’re coming to a show does so at their own risk because we invariably ask them to perform with us. That was the same way Corin Tucker ended up doing a couple songs with us. We found out she was going ...

    You’re the subject of the famous Onion article “37 Record-Store Clerks Feared Dead In Yo La Tengo Concert Disaster.” I’ve seen you mention in a couple old interviews that you re-created the incident at The Onion’s holiday party. When and where was that? KAPLAN:It’s the venue that’s now called the Music Hall Of Williamsburg, but at the time it was c...

    This one was recorded. Before the collab performance came about, “Speeding Motorcycle” was on Fakebook. You do so many covers. How did you decide this one would be featured on your covers record? KAPLAN:I don’t know! It’s hard for me to remember specifically. But I know that when Georgia and I were talking about that record before we made it and wh...

    KAPLAN:I just got an email from him asking me to do it, and it was such a beautiful track. I was happy to try something out. I don’t think he used everything I sent him. I think I sang more, but he used the piece that worked for him, and I was really happy to hear that. I thought it came out beautifully. That’s a great record — even the parts I’m n...

    How did you get Pete Rock to remix “Here To Fall”? KAPLAN:As far as I know, we asked him! I was not part of that. The name was suggested, probably by James, but I don’t know how that happened. That “Here To Fall” remix EP had De La Soul and RJD2 too. Was that a James brainchild since he’s kind of the hip-hop guy? KAPLAN:Yes. We had done this really...

    You guys have been the backing band for a lot of people. For instance, I saw you back up David Kilgour at a Merge showcase at CMJ back in 2004. KAPLAN:Oh, right right! At the Mercury Lounge. Was backing up a rapper any different from your normal experience? KAPLAN:Not really! It was a blast. They came over to our practice space and we rehearsed, an...

  4. 12. Apr. 2023 · by Reed Fischer. April 12, 2023. On the afternoon before Yo La Tengo play a packed First Avenue show, frontman and guitarist Ira Kaplan saunters into the Depot Tavern. At the back of the empty restaurant, he removes a winter hat, and settles into a wooden booth across from me. Kaplan carries himself with quiet confidence.
