Weekly Remix: Jaydiohead


Apparently, there's been quite a craze for remixing rock and rap songs together and I've been missing out. One of the better collaborations I came across in my YouTube marathon is Jaydiohead -- an album of  Jay Z and Radiohead mashups. To my surprise, it wasn't all bad: "Song and Cry" was intriguing enough to make it my pick for this week's remix. It combines Jay Z's "Song Cry" and Radiohead's "High and Dry" to create a compelling mix of smooth music and thought-provoking lyrics. This version of the song turned out to be about the pains of separation and mistakes, since it mostly used Jay Z's vocals, with a sprinkle of Thom Yorke in the chorus. The two songs actually complement each other lyrically and Radiohead's guitar riffs are perfect for the mood of Jay Z's sad poetry. I recommend giving it a listen; you might find yourself playing this one on repeat.
