The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have a download on iTunes that includes original accoustic recordings of some of their songs along with some of the album verstions that you may already have. However, you have to buy the full album to get the new recordings and the double-plus bonus: interviews about each of the songs.
Karen O is not a great interview; she gives lots of "uh"s and "um"s and "you know"s and some sound that resembles an octogenarian chain-smoker trying to hit a flat C (how does that raspy speaking voice make that singing voice?). But some of the nuggets from the interviews are great.
However, pay the $10 to get the greatest recording of "Maps" (my favorite song by them) EVER!

Oops! So you can buy the original songs individually, including "Maps," but you can't get the interviews. I'd buy it anyway: support good music.
