[edit] Categorization
Would this band go under Indietronica? Their music bears a strong resemblence towards it.--The ikiroid (talk/parler/hablar/paroli/说/話) 20:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- I would say it fits the definition, though I would hesitate because defining anything as "indie" is problematic these days. For what it's worth, it's in my "indie" playlist along with Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire (which, note, are not so much "indie" as "indie sounding"). — Saxifrage ✎ 19:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other works?
I seem to be seeing other works, such as an ebay album call 9 Beats. Does anyone have any more information on this? It seems to be an EP of some kind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.31.245 (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Name?
How would you pronounce the name? I don't want to look like a jackass
I have heard it said rat-uh-tat but I could be wrong.
Definitely, you could always watch/listen to the Ultimate Showdown, the word ratatat is said pretty close to the beggining when abe lincoln shoots batman. ratatat is an onomatopoetic term for a gun firing.
I removed this sentence from the article because it sounds like it could be made up and needs a citation if it's going to go back in: "They decided on the name Ratatat after a visualization Stroud had during an acid trip, in which he saw rats tap dancing." -- superbatfish —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbatfish (talk • contribs) 05:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Just a friend?
can anyone point me towards a link to this supposed remix of biz markie's just a friend? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.187.12 (talk) 04:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
There is definitely no official Ratatat remix of this track, it is not on any mix tape or single releases. If such a track does exist it is probably someone's homemade mashup consisting of an existing Ratatat song or a beat from 9 beats. It should probably be removed from the article all together. 129.21.40.252 (talk) 03:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ratatat Remixes Border 120x120.jpg
Image:Ratatat Remixes Border 120x120.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
