Did Ratatat Join the NRA?

So I’m not sure whats going on here, but everybody’s favorite hipsters, Ratatat, seem to have to become card carrying members of the National Rifle Association. I found the flicks below and began to wonder: are the boys over at Ratatat not the fun loving Billyburgers you once made them out to be? Do they have… a darkside?

Or maybe, since they named one of their songs “Crips” and made a G Unit remix, they’re just honorary gangstas.

On the remix tip: If you were feelin their last batch of rap remixes, be sure to be ready for their next joint, which drops soon.	Ratatat, “Lex” (Mouse on Mars remix), from the Lex 12″
	But with the exception of that G Unit remix, I didn’t like it. So instead, I posted this “Lex” remix. It’s better than the original, sounding like they took a traditional Ratatat song (the electric guitar and keyboard melodies over a hip hop rhythm) and stomped all over it with army boots. The outcome sounds somewhat industrial. Ratatat would like you to buy it here.
