Found in: Movies, Features50 Best Bob Dylan Covers of All Time
As we began to compile this list of the 50 Best Bob Dylan Covers of All Time—asking for input from Paste readers, writers and editors—someone suggested that it might be easier to compile a list of artists who haven't covered Dylan. I've listened to literally hundreds of Dylan covers over the course of the past week, trying to weigh choices like, "Who's version of 'Tomorrow Is a Long Time' is better, Nick Drake or Nickel Creek?" But I don't mean to make it sound like grueling work. My biggest take-away from this exercise is that going to Dylan for source... read more

Found in: Music, NewsSix Albums to Get Excited About in 2009
When I wrote my Five Movies to Get Excited About in 2009 list a couple weeks ago, ostensibly, I was providing a reader service. But really, I was getting as pumped up about those movies as anyone reading that post. In fact, I'm listening to Ready to Die right now, looking forward to taking in a showing of Notorious this weekend. Looking forward to stuff is fun, and it makes actually experiencing said stuff just that much more awesome (or, alternately, disappointing).Editing the news section of PasteMagazine.com also gets me hyped about forthcoming albums on a daily basis. From big... read more

Found in: Culture, NewsIs Yo La Tengo releasing a new album?
Of the many roles that Pitchfork Media has come to serve in the world of independent music, the sleuthing Sherlock hasn't always been a central one. But it turns out they've got some game when it comes to stitching together evidence. This week, the site presented a case for the Internet jury, pointing toward a new album from legendary New Jersey trio Yo La Tengo. It would be their first since 2006's wondrous I Am Not Afraid of You And Will Beat Your Ass.... read more

Found in: Music, NewsYo La Tengo soundtracks Superbad director's new film
Lost amidst all of the teen lust overdrive of director Greg Mottola's Superbad was a pretty killer soundtrack, which boasted prime slices of vintage soul, classic rock and The Rapture. But Mottola might have outdone himself with his next project, the amusement park-bound comedy Adventureland. Supplying the tunes for the film will be none other than the mighty Yo La Tengo. Apparently, the veteran indie-rock trio is getting deeper into movies. Its film credits before this project include composition work for Junebug and Old Joy, both of which happened to feature Will Oldham as an actor. Oldham isn't appearing in... read more
