Ratatat @ the Venue 3 September 2008
This was an absolutely awesome show. My lady-friend Julie posted about it in her blog here. We took plenty of videos but the sound was so distorted when we played it back that I am embarassed to post it. They are AMAZING live. Well worth the 2 hour wait through crappy opening bands, though I’ll remember to arrive late at my next concert.
Here are a few photos from the concert:
I look a little fat but Julie looks like a babe. Look at her blog for some samples of Ratatat.
Malheureux Sans Lecture
In High School I was proud of the classics I’d read – it took a reading of Great Expectations before I had a taste for Dickens. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Dumas (tee hee), Hugo were all authors whose works I loved. Sure, I read some contemporary novels, but with so many classics I felt my time would be better used reading books whose appeal had been proven. I am guilty of a kind of snobbery when it comes to books I suppose, though I have recently read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and fell in love with it.
