There's a lot of music online--more than most people have time to keep up with. That's why you've got us. Every week, we'll point you toward three excellent new downloads or videos from chart-topping stars, cult favorites and unknown geniuses. 1. Depeche Mode's Remixes 2: 81-11 collection doesn't come out until June 7, but there's already a preview track available as a free MP3 over at Pitchfork: the little-known 1981 album track "Puppets," remixed by the Norwegian crew Röyksopp. (It's less a remix in the conventional sense than a totally re-arranged, modernized version of the song.) And if you're curious about how "Puppets" sounded thirty years ago, check out this murky video of a 1981 live performance. (More on TIME.com: "Planetary" Is a Celestial iPad Music Player) 2. Between 1987 and 1993, the Scottish singer/songwriter Momus recorded six albums--a heady mash of synth-pop, high-art references, dramatic chanson, "anti-anti-orientalism" and lasciviousness--for a label that's ceased to exist. Those records are in legal limbo now, but they're available (with Momus's blessing) as free downloads from the avant-garde clearinghouse UbuWeb Sound. The place to start is probably Tender Pervert, his 1988 album about sexual identity and emotional perversity, and particularly the eight-minute epic "Bishonen." (More on TIME.com: Japanese Lab Develops E-Kissing Device) 3. Thao and Mirah--a.k.a. the duo of Thao Nguyen from Thao and the Get Down Stay Down and Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, two gifted songwriters with very different approaches--have joined forces for the new album Thao & Mirah, and they're currently on tour across America. The Bay Bridged has a quartet of free MP3s (and videos) by them: dramatically re-arranged live-in-studio versions of three songs from the album, as well as a surprisingly haunting cover of Pat Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield." BONUS: If you wish Pandora would get a little more adventurous with its selections, check out The Music Genome Splicer, which suggests random combinations of Music Genome Project traits. An example: "Imagine a song with: Dry Recording Sound/Sexist Lyrics/Hammond Organ/Rap Metal Instrumentation/Modern R&B Stylings."
