Little Black Book: Griselda










Yo La Tengo: Griselda


"Come won't you walk with me Griselda, wearing that dress that moonlight shines through, I am a sad and lonely boy, since your mother said I couldn't see you." That´s Yo La Tengo, with a deceptively simple song from their delightful cover album Fakebook (´90). I´ve never heard the original by Peters Stampfell´s Holy Modal Rounders by the way. Anyone?

oh whoops. might not have caught this if i didn't find a holy modal tag in the back end!

I had never heard this song, but it looks like it was on this 1976 album that's partly credited to the 'Unholy Modal Rounders.'

Wow, looks like an awesome album. I love the Rounders.
