Yo La Tengo supported the fundraising efforts of independent radio channel WFMU with annual studio visits. All listeners who pledged money during the band's appearances were offered the chance to request a favorite song that the band would then attempt to perform. This album compiles more than two dozen WFMU highlights first broadcast between 1996 and 2003.
The album cover was created by cartoonist Adrian Tomine.
