Today's Quick Mention: Some details on Medeski, Martin And Wood's
Radiolarians: The Evolutionary Box Set have emerged. Apparently,
it will contain all three albums from the series, a feature length DVD,
bonus tracks, unreleased live material, remixes and vinyl. Wow.
Get it on November 24.
I remember reading some rumors about the Black Keys working on something hip
hop related, but I didn't think they were legit. Well, as if to scold
me for not being a true believer, the duo have readied an LP that features
Mos Def, Jim Jones, Raekwon, RZA, and a few other super talented artists.
Crazy, right? The project is called Blakroc, and the self titled LP is
due November 27. Enjoy.

- Ain't Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo):
Oddly enough, this sounds like a Black Keys song, but in
place of inspired wailing by Dan Auerbach you get
some soulful crooning by Mos Def and a few slick verses from
Jim Jones. Weird? Yes, but only because the
Black Keys apparently don't have to change their style much
to become a rather serviceable hip hop act. Can't wait
to hear what the other artists were able to do with them.
