We Invented The Internet Remix
I know, the mash-up was dead the moment someone said, “The mash-up is dead.” But tell that to the dudes behind The Hood Internet, a couple of local musicians who have been moonlighting as the web’s latest blog darlings since launching the site in March: DJs STV SLV and ABX have received props from Pitchfork, USA Today, and even national (albeit syndicated) public radio for their mash-ups of indie rock with R&B/hip-hop/pop/etc. Today, they dropped “The Hood Internet: Mix Tape Vol 1,” a compendium of what they’ve been doing the past couple of months, with some exclusive tracks thrown in for good measure. It’s not sure if The Hood Internet will drop “Vol 2” before for the backlash begins (since 15 Minutes of Fame seems to have an Internet half-life), but their re-vision of Broken Social Scene vs R Kelly will always brilliant.
