The Walkmen

There are no words to explain how great "We've Been Had" and "The Rat" by The Walkmen are. These are two songs that I will throw on a playlist together without any other songs, and just drift away in their presence. I currently have two ringtones. One for my girlfriend (Headphones - Shit Talker...I mostly hear this one) and one for everyone else (The Walkmen - We've Been Had). Whenever someone else calls I find myself not wanting to pick up, rather just listen to The Walkmen belt out "see me age nineteen with some dumb haircut from 19...60, moving to New York" on their song "We've Been Had". Their song "The Rat" is equally ringtone worthy, and easily deserving of it's spot in Pitchfork's Top 10 Songs of 2004 (it was #6).
