Despot x Ratatat: “Look Alive”
[audio: http://rubyhornet.com/media/rh/music/look_alive.mp3|width=180]
In an age where people never get enough sleep, Despot and Ratatat have teamed up to bring you ‘Look Alive.’ A song told from the perspective of a man who just purchased TWO original Barcelona chairs for his new apartment. No problem. To complement the lyrics that are almost as rich as the rapper, Ratatat has put together a poverty stricken beat! As you may be able to assume, the beat and the lyrics have a very tense friendship. Imagine what it must feel like to be alive and to walk around looking like you are not. If you can’t imagine what that must feel like, we have it on good accord that it is embarrassing.
Drift away for a moment into the deepest and darkest corners of complete embarrassment as Despot raps you into a state of looking and living. Ponder what great treasures the future may hold as Ratatat and Despot continue to work on an entire album. Think about September 1st as the day you might be able to own something almost equal in value to two very expensive pieces of vintage furniture. Then, my friends, go to the internet rap music store and download a copy of Definitive Jux Presents 4 that you can neither touch nor hold.
