Noise Floor Radio Volume 80

Yo La Tengo with Mac McCaughan at Bowery Ballroom for Hanukkah 2017

Number 80 in a weekly series of Noise Floor-curated playlists.

It’s another mellow one for this penultimate week of 2020 – a sort of Christmas-not-Christmas mix featuring my old favs Yo La Tengo (who made this December feel a tad less weird with a lovely Hanukkah livestream last weekend, to stand in for their usual 8-night Bowery Ballroom residency), some late-night scotch-sipping jazz and an obligatory John Fahey holiday selection. Enjoy by the actual or virtual fireside.
