YLT = Barry Sheck

This was apparently from an Athens critic that ran a not so friendly review of a recent YLT show. Has anyone read the full article? Maybe a link if you know where it was originally located?

Here are pieces along with the YLT response:

Somewhere along the way, the Glands were thanked for playing the opening slot. A generous yet standard gesture from the nationally renowned headliners. Athens was then cited as a 'very important city' for live music. Thank you, Yo La Tengo, for the respect this city deserves. What followed, though, was reprehensible; Yo La Tengo let it be known that it was nice to finally see a good band come out of Athens. I couldn't believe what I had heard. Many of the people around me at the show were local musicians. Many of the bands they play in I see and enjoy regularly. They may not (yet or ever) have national recognition, they may not (yet or ever) have critical acclaim, they may not (yet or ever) appeal to Yo La Tengo, but to single handedly dismiss them was the ultimate in disrespect. . . . I watched as the crowd slowly thinned. Was this comment the cause? I believe, I hope, so.What a fucking dolt.
