Musical Mashup: Jaydiohead

Jaydiohead is a mashup of Jay-Z's vocals mixed with Radiohead's music by producer and DJ Max Tannone (aka Minty Fresh Beats). I'm a big fan of incongruous collaborations, mixes, etc. (Plant & Krauss; Cornell & Timbaland; Jay-Z & Linkin Park to name a few). One of the premiere players in the game's lyrics laced over Radiohead's moody, atmospheric tunes - it is brilliant. Download the album for free here and the Encore album here. Check out Tannone's Facebook page.

Out and about with the visiting Xanadu last night we heard "No Karma" come on at Flattop Johnny's, presumably off the bartender's iPod. "Is this Jay-Z mixed with Karma Police?" Indeed it was ("No Hook" & "Karma Police" - all the tracks are so cleverly named). I immediately seeked it out on the internets when I got home and discovered that the rest of the tracks by Minty Fresh Beats are just as awesome (esp. "Song and Cry").
