Due to this year's calendar, and a week-long trip in South Florida scheduled over Christmas, I could only get to the last night of Yo La Tengo's annual eight-night Hanukkah run of shows at Maxwell's in Hoboken.
Last year, I was entertained by comedian Todd Barry (as I was again this year). Yo La Tengo played a mellower, yet poppier set. Unfortunately, there were no surprise guests like last year's Alex Chilton:
