there's no act in music that strikes me as especially similar to Ratatat
they say a lot to me about living when+where i do
their style seems simple, but somehow it is not very easy to imitate

December 10, 2006 7:10 AM / 1985
as previously promised, here is the mp3 to the song from which Look at My Hands takes its title. this song has a few of my favorite guitar riffs ever. in particular, i love the one that first starts at about 0:31 and repeats several times throughout the song. right- or ctrl-click to save / 320kbps mp3 / ~9MB Green Grow the Rushes by R.E.M. extra photograph

October 29, 2006 1:48 PM / phrase on a sundaythe title of Long May It Last comes from one of my favorite songs ever, i could listen to it every day Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself by Morrissey [320kbps mp3 / around 8MB] the album title is one of my favorite puns. Vauxhall is all kinds of things, including a make of car, a district of London, a British bar someplace [maybe also London], and a Tube stop. but also: Vox, Hall and I. yeahhh. go Moz. also, the phrase 'Long may it last' is the best tattoo i've ever seen on anyone. if you're out there, Mary of Los Angeles [you know who you are], i would love to draw your tattoo if you would like to send me a picture of your arm.

July 18, 2006 2:41 AM / He got so excited he came on his thighsOne of my favorite Lou Reed songs, from 2000's Ecstasy. I'll label it an 'overlooked' masterpiece because no one has ever spoken to me about it. Rock Minuet

March 30, 2006 3:25 PM / first person I ever wanted to beMost days, still kind of do. Michael Stipe, 2003, photographed by? One of the best live versions I have ever heard of ANY song by ANYONE is Harborcoat by R.E.M. from the 'Bochum 1985' bootleg. It makes me wish I could be Bill Berry as well, or rather play the drums the way he did back in 1985. Harborcoat live in Germany, 1985 Too bad, isn't it, that the most recent R.E.M. album, Around the Sun, was such crap? Given that it was an overt response to 9/11 and the Iraq war, the impression I got was, 'OK, the war has creatively destroyed R.E.M.' I have high hopes for the next R.E.M. album, though. I found New Adventures in Hi-Fi and Up both subpar (the former, dreadfully so - why in hell does everyone call it their 'return to form'? it's SHIT!). But after those records, they made Reveal, their best album since Murmur. Beat a Drum
