In the Asshole of Our Eyes

Ever wondered what a Ratatat song sounded like with vocals over them? Granted, you could get one of the Ratatat mixtapes, but if you're going for the authentic sound with really creepy lyrics, then I'd recommend the way of the Unicorns.

The Unicorns were only around from 2000-2004, and it was probably due to extensive touring and fighting with audience members that led to the band's demise. However, several members continued to collaborate afterwards as the band Islands, which, if you can find it, is good stuff too.

Anyway, here's one of their gems, "Inoculate the Innocuous," which is where I got the asshole in the eye lyric. I still kinda don't get it myself. If it relaxes when you cry, does that mean tears are like poo?
