I've had it on the old iPod for about a year now. Anyhow, I met Tatar a couple of years ago and had a decent time hanging out and drinking beer. Seems like everyone in UB under 25 is in a hiphop band (over 25, they are in a rock band). Really, it's kind of depressing going to places like Ulaanbaatar that have less than a million people and very little money, but have a much better music scene than this 20-million-person hub that is home to Time cover-boy Rain.

I might have to buy the whole album so I can hear the covers of Kraftwerk, Iron Butterfly, and Hank Williams. I kind of like the cover of Motorhead’s Orgasmotron as well.
