Anything Ratatat touches turns to solid gold. I challenge someone to convince me otherwise. From Notorious B.I.G.'s "Dead Wrong" to Kanye West's "Get 'em High," I find myself always enjoying their remixes. Unfortunately, they haven't done any for qui...

Back before music blogs were big, Yeah Yeah Yeahs released an album titled Fever To Tell. The lead song Maps, which is actually about the relationship between Liars frontman Angus Andrew and Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O (it stands for My Angus...
