After returning from their current sojourn to Japan, Australia, and Singapore, our fearless leaders Yo La Tengo will pound the pavement in their homeland once again, touring the U.S. of A. throughout April. The trek culminates in a show at Brown University with the Flaming Lips on April 21. Oh you lucky Ivy Leaguers, you!

For fun and games, check out the recently updated "On the Couch With James" section of Yo La Tengo's website. Turns out bassist James McNew likes watching TV. Really, really likes watching TV. He loves "Lucky Louie" and "Heroes" and despises Rachael Ray. But who doesn't?
