Album titles and the sublime

Yo La Tengo is an excellent band, their music full of weird, noisy-but-melodic magic. Hearing some of their songs on the right kind of autumnal day makes me sigh deeply and smile.

But now I have one more reason to like them. The title of their new album is I Am Not Afraid of You and I will Beat Your Ass.

Wonderful.

(They're good at this sort of thing. Their previous album titles include I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One and And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.)
