y Aweso e (not so uch) usic Review [looks like i didnt have my Mcdonals breakfast!]

Ratatat is Where It's At!!!

So being the baseball fanatic that i am, i own several baseball games for the PS2; one of which being MLB The Show: 2007 Since i played the game everyday in the summer of '07 (back before the stress of high school!) i became more than familiar with the track. There was one particular song on there that i was happy to hear every time it played next on the games shuffled play-list. The song was called Loud Pipes. It was a very simple, 3:45min, slow-paced song. What i liked the most, was that that it was all instrumental, no vocals, with a very nice rhythm. So i look a little deeper in these guys, discovery their name is Ratatat (thanks to being able to see artists & albums of the song on the game!), and discovered that all the music is done by just TWO PEOPLE. YES, TWO PEOPLE, WERE CREATING ALL THE NOISES, INSTRUMENTS SOUND EFFECTS & WHAT NOT. These two amazing people are Mike Stroud & Evan Mast, two buddies who met at college.

  YOU GUYS MUST LISTEN TO THESE GUYS! its amazing what just the 2 of them do. Their incredible strictly instrumental music has been so great, they've gone on tour with bands like Daft Punk & The Killers and many, many more.

What i really like, since there music is all instrumental, the music can be interpreted in so many ways! so please! go out there and listen to their music! let me know if you do!!

My Top 5
Seventeen Years
Loud Pipes
