The Hood Internet

Yesterday The Hood Internet released their fourth mixtape.

At the tail end of 2009, it’s easy not to get excited. Mashups are the high-fructose corn syrup of the music blog world. They’re ubiquitous, easy to make, and embarrassingly addictive.

Although we’ve seen every iteration of the formula -- from marathon mash sessions by Girl Talk clones E-603, Super Mash Bros, and Easter Egg to the current hot A+B mashers The White Panda, and everything in between -- a fun mashup can still get your head bobbing, or at the very least, dominate the charts on Hype Machine.

While The Hood Internet comprises of both ABX and DJ STV SLV, ABX is my favorite of the two.

He’s sampled successfully from indie rock favorites…

ABX – Fire It Up, Firemouse

ABX – I’m a Flirt (Shoreline)

…electro bangers…

ABX - Wetter and Jeffer

ABX – 1000 Times Right Round

…not to mention whatever latest indie sensation Pitchfork is pimping…

ABX – All About The Islands

ABX – Feel It On the South Side
