Yo La Tengo — Murder in the Second Degree (Sept. 1, 2006, Nov. 2016) 
°°° Murder in the Second Degree is an album by the band Yo La Tengo, released in 2016, consisting solely of covers the band performed on independent radio station WFMU during fundraisers for the station. It is a followup to their 2006 compilation album, Yo La Tengo Is Murdering the Classics.
°°° The album cover was created by popular cartoonist Adrian Tomine.
°°° Writing on their website, the band said: “So impressive is Adrian Tomine’s cover art that it is entirely possible that you, the prospective purchaser, are unfamiliar with what will unfold for the next 76 minutes should you be so rash as to part with your hard~earned money.” They continued, “For the last 20 years (and counting), Yo La Tengo, accompanied by cub reporter Bruce Bennett, have performed live on WFMU during their fundraising Marathon, and in return for listeners’ pledges of support, we have attempted to play their requests, with no prior knowledge of what those requests will be, and without utilizing any of the many web sites that provide lyrics and chords. We rely instead on a lifetime of listening and the forgiveness of our audience.”
