Also currently streaming on that site is the new
Ratatat,
LP4. Out on XL recordings, it was recorded during the same sessions as its predecessor,
LP3, and sounds like a natural extension of it. It's all instrumental and driven by that screeching laser-guitar sound that's become the New York duo's trademark. Whether any of the songs are as good as their
collaborations with Kid Cudi last year is your call.

New
Xtina! Where does she fit into a post-Gaga world? That's the real question of the day. She
did okay at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, performing a medley of songs from her new album,
Bionic. It concluded with the camera zooming in on a close-up of her crotch, where a pink electronic heart was flashing on and off -- I guess because she is a woman and empowered or something? It will be interesting to see what kind of sales
Bionic generates, and how the club hits stack up against Gaga's. Well, interesting for some of us.
