...I've learned all my Spanish from indie bands!
Yo La Tengo
Polvo
and some other ones I totally forgot. To a lesser extent German, staring w/Neubauten and ending w/Die Toten Hosen.

I recently saw Yo La Tengo filed under "World Music" in a big chain music store in a mall. They also had Taj Mahal under "Rap."

I was going to point this out to them, but then realized I was a big nerd and would be better off sharing these salient delights with like.

I was driving down Santa Monica Blvd and saw a billboard for a Sapnish radio station that said "Yo Lo Tengo!"

I once worked at a record store that filed Yo La Tengo under "T"

I confused my manager one time when, after he ranted at an employee for filing bands starting with "the...." under "T", I asked him where we should file "the The".

File The The under "T" of course .. but is it the first T or the second T?

If you were citing them, would you list them in the bibliography as "The, the"?

Someday when all access to music is determined by internet searching, Matt Johnson will regret this name.
