About
Genius + Love = Yo La Tengo is a 2-disc compilation album by Yo La Tengo, consisting of raritie, alternate version, and out-take, spanning 1988 to 1995. The album was released on Matador in 1996; a Japanese version with two extra tracks appeared in 1998. The title is a pun on the 1960 Ray Charles album, Genius+Soul=Jazz. ("The Genius" was Charles' nickname.) The first disc contains songs with vocal. There are several cover song, such as John Cale's "Hanky Panky Nohow," The Velvet Underground's "I'm Set Free," Beat Happening's "Cast A Shadow," and Wire's "Too Late." The cover of Daniel Johnston's "Speeding Motorcycle" features Johnston calling in his vocals to the song via telephone. "Demons" originally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1995 film I Shot Andy Warhol (in which YLT appeared as a Velvet Underground-esque band). .
