Yo La Tengo goes beyond critical appeal ByANDREW ECKHOUS who hasdone itall before. authentic moment comes at Daily Arts Writer "Ohm," the six-minute album the very end. "The Point of It," Adam DeVine discusses balance between work, play By STEVEN TWEEDIE " Daily TV/New Media Editor The third season of "Worka- holics" returns tonight, and with jt comes more feats of stupid- ity from Adam DeVine ("Better Off Ted"), Blake Anderson.("5th "Year") and Anders Holm ("Key and Peele"). Recently renewed for its fourth ,and fifth seasons; "Workaholics" has propelled itself to flagship status on Comedy Central, mostly due to its wild popularity among college students. Inaninterview with The Mich- igan Daily, DeVine, Anderson and Holm spoke about partying with the Black Keys, their upcoming cameos in "Arrested Develop- ment" and why you should tune in for tonight's new episode of "Workaholics." It's no secret the guys like to party, but DeVine - who recently starred as Bumper inthe hit musi- cal comedy "Pitch Perfect"-- was quick to mention that it might not be humanly possible to party as hard as their onscreen counter- parts ... because they'd be dead. That doesn't keep them from bumping into new fans and enjoy- ing themselves, as DeVine men- tioned was the case when they met the Black Keys. "They're one of my favorite bands," DeVine said. "Dan espe- cially, the lead singer, he's such a huge 'Workaholics' fan. So when they come in town sometimes, they invite us out, and we get to go party with them like we're huge arena rock stars." Even with all the revelry, the "Workaholics" guys still know how to get down to business, with a movie script written and produced with Seth Rogen in the works and an upcoming cameo in the much-anticipated new sea- son of "Arrested Development," the latter of which made waves around Twitter. "It was Day 1 of shooting the new season, so everyone was pretty amped," DeVine said. "And Jason Bateman didn't know who we were. He thought we were just actors hired for this small part. "So he took a photo and tthen posted it on his Twitter," he continued. "And Twitter just exploded, like 'Oh my god the 'Workaholics' guys are on 'Arrested Development'!' and he came over to us and was like 'Wait, who are you guysT'" And it looks like their cameos on "Arrested Development" will highlight what DeVine, Ander- son and Holm are best at: acting out thicker, stupider versions of themselves. "I play a ticket-taker for an airline," DeVine said. "So I'm delving out the tickets and I'm just totally inept. I'm just an idiot, and the other guys work for the airline as well." Being labeled a "critic's band" is usually indicative of a few things. One is that the band will be artistic, adventurous and voracious in its experi- Fade mentation. The other is that Yo La Tengo they will prob- Matador ably be under- appreciated, if not unpopular. Yo La Tengo, the old man river of '90ts o-fi, defi- nitely falls into that category. Making consistently enjoy- able music for almost three decades now, Yo La Tengo has mastered its art, and the level of comfort is evident on Fade, its newest release. The group's 13th album is an authentic and well-executed collection of opener, epitomizes the album's theme of accepting life's unicer- tainty with its first two lines: "Sometimes the bad guys go right on top / Sometimes the good guys lose." It isn't a defeatist couplet, but rather an acknowl- edgment that, sometimes, shit goes wrong. Sometimes the Lions go 10-6, sometimes they- go 4-12, and there's nothing you can do about it. Throughout Fade, Yo La Tengo, which trans- lates to "I have it" in Spanish, does seem to have it. The album is an even-keeled existentialist anthem, recalling the unortho- dox Zen of Jeff Lebowski. The opening track is followed by "Is That Enough," a country- western ditty dedicated to what sounds likea rather disagreeable ex. Half "I'm glad you dumped me" and half "sour grapes," "Is Fade's final track, is Kaplan's wise answer to the implied ques- tion, "What's the point?" In what is undoubtedly a love song to his wife and fellow band mate Geor- gia Hubley, Kaplan softly sings, "If we're getting old / If we're not so strong / If our story's told / That's the point of it," over slowly building chords. Kaplan opens Fade with thoughts about the inherent unfairness tof the world, but ends with the belief that everything will be just fine. Latest Yo La Tengo release has it all.
