It's a good list, sure, but what's most remarkable about it is that, in the course of a dozen years or so, Fair made music with all of them in one form or another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJad Fair has been prolific for half a century now, long before the Internet could create a simultaneous and seemingly eternal archive of everything someone with his predilections made. He's been involved in several hundred titles, at least, many of them out-of-print on tiny labels that do not exist anymore. In fact, one of those collaborations that Fair made in the '90s-\u003cem\u003eStrange But True\u003c\/em\u003e, with Yo La Tengo-has been hard to find, despite its stateside release on October 20th 1998, by Matador Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time, the album is being reissued on vinyl by Joyful Noise and Bar\/None. By the time Fair played a party with Yo La Tengo in the mid-'90s, they were all friends, fans, and collaborators, having worked on or released records together. When Fair suggested they all head into the studio, the trio bit. The result, \u003cem\u003eStrange But True\u003c\/em\u003e, is as wonderful, varied, and wild as some enormous lawn of native grasses. This collaborative album showcases the aritsts' uncanny range, bringing us back to a time when indie rock was still free to be as weird and unruly as its makers wanted it to be.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1 Helpful Monkey Wallpapers Entire Home\u003cbr\u003e2 Texas Man Abducted By Aliens for Outer Space Joy Ride\u003cbr\u003e3 National Sports Association Hires Retired English Professor to Name New Wrestling Holds\u003cbr\u003e4 Dedicated Thespian Has Teeth Pulled to Play Newborn Baby in High School Play\u003cbr\u003e5 Three-Year-Old Genius Graduates High School at Top of Her Class\u003cbr\u003e6 Embarrassed Teen Accidentally Uses Valuable Rare Postage Stamp\u003cbr\u003e7 Principal Punishes Students with Bad Impressions and Tired Jokes\u003cbr\u003e8 Retired Grocer Constructs Tiny Mount Rushmore Entirely of Cheese\u003cbr\u003e9 X-Ray Reveals Doctor Left Wristwatch Inside Patient\u003cbr\u003e10 Clumsy Grandmother Serves Delicious Dessert By Mistake #2\u003cbr\u003e11 Retired Woman Starts New Career in Monkey Fashions\u003cbr\u003e12 Circus Strongman Runs for Pta President\u003cbr\u003e13 High School Shop Class Constructs Bicycle Built for 26\u003cbr\u003e14 Clumsy Grandmother Serves Delicious Dessert By Mistake #1\u003cbr\u003e15 Ohio Town Saved from Killer Bees By Hungry Vampire Bats\u003cbr\u003e16 Nevada Man Invents Piano with 21 Extra Keys\u003cbr\u003e17 Clever Chemist Makes Chewing Gum from Soap\u003cbr\u003e18 Minnesota Man Claims Monkey Bowled Perfect Game\u003cbr\u003e19 Ingenious Scientist Invents Car of the Future\u003cbr\u003e20 Car Gears Stick in Reverse, Daring Driver Crosses Town Backwards\u003cbr\u003e21 Shocking Fashion Statement Terrorizes Town\u003cbr\u003e22 Feisty Millionaire Fills Potholes with Hundred-Dollar Bills\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47249789616302,"sku":"602309900533","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/jadyola.jpg?v=1765566289","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/jad-fair-yo-la-tengo-strange-but-true-ltd-ed-mint-green-vinyl","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
