As I mentioned in Blog 1, I have a couple friends to thank for continually exposing me to electronic music I would not have listened to on my own. Recently, they've got me hooked on the group Ratatat. The group only has two members with Mike Stroud on guitar and Evan Mast on the synthesizer. They have a very original sound that I would categorize as house music. They've released three albums but admittedly I haven't listened to much of their most recent album that hit the shelves this past summer. At the moment I find the song "Lex" to be their best single.
I'd love to see these guys perform in person. Unfortunately it looks as though their world tour has finished all of their stops in the U.S. Maybe someone on the student council can coerce them into coming back to the States for Spring Fling...
I can say with certainty that after listening to these guys I'll be looking to find some more house music that appeals to me. If any of you readers have any suggestions be sure to send them my way.

Hope you've enjoyed the House we've heard in class so far -- I definitely have. In your future entries, try to make use of the full capabilities of blogging technology, e.g. post links, pictures, videos, etc. That kind of stuff would be especially useful for blogging about other artists.

Yo Jake, it's Darren from SM. Ratatat are actually playing in New York Apr. 21. Dunno what you're up to then, but i'd be down to see them if we can find a group.
