Shaved Orange.

Never used to be a fan, but this is totally good. You can hear traces of Wildcat et al. and it's very Ratatat but the bollywood jangles in there make a good combo. I hear some circuit-bent nintendo jamz too. I never grew up with video games in the house and I totally have the geeky tech-nerd personality to be in to them, so now I feel like part of my childhood is missing. Now that it's showing up in music everywhere I feel like everyone's in on this inside joke that I'm not. Megaman who?

Ratatat's new album is out July 8th. It is called LP3 (get it? like mp3?).

Ratatat-Mirando

I got a new laptop. We got broken into again except this time I was in the house cradling my laptop underneath the covers while talking to 911.

Dear Macbook,

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)

When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)

The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Love,

Camilla
