Radiohead are marking the release of "Nude," their second single off In Rainbows, with a remix contest. Fans are given the opportunity to buy the isolated tracks (vocals, drums, etc.) from "Nude" and create a remix of their own, which can then be uploaded onto Radioheadremix.com. The stems are available on iTunes now. After uploading your remix, listeners and users of Facebook and MySpace will vote on the remixes they like the most. There's no prizes involved, but "Radiohead will listen to the best remixes." There is a rub, however: The five "Nude" stems cost ninety-nine cents each on iTunes. This new contest comes two weeks after the band announced they would also host a video competition.

“Jimbrowski”

Jungle Brothers | 1988

Jungle Brothers sampled, among other things, jazz, James Brown and house music. The New York crew's lyrics were equally diverse but never short on clever wordplay or a playful sense of humor, as exemplified by this song from 1988's Straight Out the Jungle. "The idea for that came at the end of a studio session, with Mike, me, Red Alert and a woman Red was dating at the time," says the group’s Afrika Baby Bam. "Red was flirting with her and kept saying 'Jimbrowski' the whole night. Mike and I wrote the rhymes on the way back from the subway."
