an introduction to Prague

I think few people really enjoy visits to beautiful old places, and they're not helped by most guide books and tours, which just attach dates, artists' names, and styles to the objects on view. Guides also tell anecdotes about events that happened to occur where one is standing. The result is history as one thing after another, which is fundamentally tedious. Much more compelling is some kind of explanation that presents works as intentional efforts to solve problems within their cultural contex...

Violinist.com interview with Rachel Barton Pine

Best Music of July, 2008: "LP3" by Ratatat

Why it's significant: Episodes of This American Life and several commercials have featured Ratatat's music as a backdrop, but this New York duo's instrumental rock is much more than just pretty audio wallpaper. The sound of Ratatat's first two albums is distinctive and awesome.
