The Story
A memory behind the music
I put this song on so many playlists while I was at UCLA. I thought they were so freaking cool. Just two guys playing guitar and bass and somehow making such a full rich series of songs that were so rock and roll. I think Jay was my only ever friend that really liked Ratatat. Even their name was kind of hard to say out lout. This was the kind of song I listened to as I was borrowing Harry Potter books from my fellow classmates and finally reading the book series everyone else was so familiar with. It was one of the songs I listened to when I was sorta kinda dating a friend of Francie's and I was reading Deathly Hallows to find out how the book series finally ended just before we as a group went to see order of the Phoenix in theater. It was the kind of song I listened to as I ate pretty unhealthy lunches at Taco Bell and other barely-named-cafes near the engineering buildings. It was the kind of song I listened to after donating platelets that would help afford that lunch. It was a pretty great song for those times.
