Jaydiohead - Encore: Max Tannone (Minty Fresh Beats) has just put out a sequel to his original Jay-Z x Radiohead mash-up album (which A Future in Noise covered upon release in December and made MOG’s front page over!), Encore, which includes 5 additional quality mash-ups and is available for download at the Jaydiohead site! You can grab the first Jaydiohead release here, and I also recommend taking a listen to some of his official Beastie Boys Check Your Head remixes here (click on News and scroll down; track pick: “3’s What’cha Want”!). The full track breakdown of Encore with Soundcloud links follows below:

1. Air Roc - “Roc Boys (And the Winner Is…)” (Jay-Z, American Gangster) + “Airbag” (Radiohead, OK Computer)
2. Life There - “Party Life” (Jay-Z, American Gangster) + “There There” (Radiohead, Hail to the Thief)
3. Reckoner’s Encore - “Encore” (Jay-Z, The Black Album) + “Reckoner” (In Rainbows, Radiohead)

The Dead Weather - Horehound: The Dead Weather are comprised of Alison Mosshart (vocals/guitar, The Kills), Dean Fertita (guitar, Queens of the Stone Age), Jack Lawrence (bass, The Greenhornes/The Raconteurs), and Jack White (drums/vocals, The White Stripes). Their album Horehound will shatter any preconceptions you may have about the potentially scrambled sound of a ‘supergroup’; it’s meant to be turned up loud, with its heavy, but not harsh, blues grit sound. Free download single “Treat Me Like Your Mother” is a stomping highlight. Horehound is available to stream in full via iLike now and is officially released on 7/14.
