For the packaging of their second single from this year's highly recommended Fade, Yo La Tengo looked to the bathroom for inspiration. The release of album opener "Ohm" will come packaged as a triple 12" single, in a shower curtain display case complete with metal grommets for actual use in the shower. In addition to the album version, two of the records will feature a "live rock" version and a "live quiet" version respectively. The single is available for pre-order from The Matador Store, but the quickest way to get one is at the CHIRP Record Fair at this year's Pitchfork Music Festival, beginning next Friday, July 19. Not a bad time to pick up some single-day tickets. 

The band also released a new animated video for "Ohm", written by Donick Cary, who has writing credits from the Simpsons, with animation from Sugarshack.
