I have only heard one song of theirs. It was in a Hummer commercial If I remember correctly.
"17 Years" was the name of it. I recall liking it.

Does anyone else dig Ratatat?

Seen them in chicago twice. The Riv and Lolla. They have epic live shows but they are really short. I still haven't seen Nostrand or EL Pico live and I love those songs but for sure my favorite songs are Wildcat and Gettysburg.
Not a huge fan of LP4 even though I love Drugs and Neckbrace.
Wildcat at the Riv last Summer. (I had an Android 1.5 phone here so quality isn't that good but...)

Yep. They've really gone downhill with recent albums but they're still fun. I think they're horrible live though so I'm not the biggest fan anymore.EschatonDX said:
If you want more of the Ratatat sound, Delicate Steve is about as close as you'll find.

I can't find it because Google sucks and its been years, but everyone needs to read the little blurb they printed on the backside of their initial release of Cherry.. back when they were called Cherry and they only had that one song. I have no idea how to find it again, but its basically this lady's interpretation of what they initially set out to do. I'll find it eventually. They're some fun, interesting dudes, saw them at GAMH long ago when they first started getting some heat behind them. While I don't have to like their recent releases, I can totally dig on the psychedelic touring rock band thing they've got going.

Classics is my favorite album. Wildcat, Lex, Loud Pipes, Tropicana, Nostrand (the first half anyways), etc. All great songs.

Saw them two times live, both times quite amazing. And I was able to buy the shirt with this on it:
Also watch their perfomance with Kid Cudi on Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRTsL6nqcGM

I don't listen to too much of them, but they are 50% responsible for this amazingness from K.Flay.

More than decent. It's better than anything he's done with Ratatat. I keep crossing my fingers that's we'll get some more e*vax stuff one of these years...Jtwo said:
my favorite ratatat song: Mandy
i'd describe it but its really hard to describe any of their songs so i'll just say this one has my favorite changeups.
Classics is my favorite album by far though.
edit: i also like working out to their music because you can time everything out by the song instead of keeping count. its amazing how they just go off on a musical ramble but everythings still pretty orderly and timely.

Or take a trip bawlin' with the row
My shit off in ya system
Indo smoke in ya lungs, like that
And you can lift it, on, and a fist a bomb
Takin' away like hell at Veitnam
California, back in and on a mission, makin a point
Ain't no fuckin' competition
