i might have to buy his album just for this song.

you may or may not know that i'm a huge ratatat fan. like HUGE.
huge.
huge.
huge.
get it?

i have my very first iPod hooked up in my studio. it's one of the original ones. super old. i haven't updated the music in ages. mostly because i'm lazy and partly because i'm afraid it will stop working if i touch it. ha. i have a few newer iPods, but i kinda like the "vintage-ness" of that one, so i want to keep it working. anyway. i no longer listen to 70% of the music that is on that thing. i guess my tastes have evolved in the past 6 years. and some of the music has memories associated with it that i don't really like to recall. [ahem... dave. pretty much sums that up.] so when i'm in my studio, i listen to ratatat a lot because it's on that iPod, and it seriously never gets old. it's perfect for the background. it helps me get things done from organizing and cleaning to actually creating. [it's also great music to drive to if you like to get lost in your thoughts on long solo drives.]

i haven't been doing a good job at keeping up with new music lately, so i was elated to find this gem tonight.

i'm not entirely sure if i'm a kid cudi fan, but as i said in the title... i really like this song. probably because i've been starved of new music lately, so when you add in my favorite duet named ratatat on a track, you have a winner in my book. :]
i also really like some of the lyrics. i guess they strike a cord with me because i feel like i'm trying to figure out what path my life is going to take, and i've been kept awake plenty of nights worrying about it and trying to sort through my various dreams and visions for my future. i'm definitely trying to figure out my own way to pursue happiness. it's nice to remind myself that i will be fine.

i'm charging the camera battery as i write, so hopefully i can do the long overdue update post soon. in case i don't get that posted tonight or tomorrow, i just wanted to post something so that you know i'm still here. alive and well.
hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
