The Hood Internet

So these guys came to my school last night. I didn't go--I was stuck in my room doing readingsreadingsreadings--but I could hear them from my window pretty clearly anyway so that didn't make much of a difference.

Most mashup artists sound the same to me, but I really like what I've heard from these guys so far. I think they make pretty interesting combo selections, like "Tambourine Reckoning," though I'm not sure how I feel about the song as a whole... it starts out alright, but "Reckoning" might be too dirge-like for this to work.

But anyway! Here are a couple of my favorites.

["Good Ol' Fashion Rump Shaker (Matt & Kim vs. Beastie Boys)" - The Hood Internet]

This song just makes me really happy. :)

I couldn't find any Youtube videos of this next song that didn't make my head hurt, so here you are with a direct mp3 link posted on The Hood Internet's site:

"Can You Hear My Kids Now (Lil' Kim vs. MGMT)" - The Hood Internet

Does it seem like every mashup artist has to make a track sampling "Kids?"

Best of all, virtually everything's available for (free) download at http://www.thehoodinternet.com! Go forth, explore and download at will! Don't you love getting free stuff?

Cool Songs with Profanity, vol. 2: This Shit Is Bananas

...B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Come on, you know the words.

["Hollaback Girl" - Gwen Stefani]

A giddy, folksy cover by Kate Nash.

["Hollaback Girl" (cover) - Kate Nash]

And here's an amazing video from Gilmore Girls of METAL GOD Sebastian Bach singing "Hollaback Girl." No profanity here, really, since he's performing at a bat mitzvah (and the FCC would probably be all over the WB and Gilmore Girls if he did say "shit"). He does this... better than I would've expected. Good work, Sebastian Bach.

Cool Songs with Profanity, vol. 1: Bitch

The main reason why I'm a member of this blog is to make sure that the "cool songs with profanity" (?! I didn't make it) tag gets -- well, let's not jump the gun with the profanities.

"Konichiwa Bitches" - Robyn
Ridiculous lyrics aside, this song is just incredibly robust. And pretty freaking rad, if we're going to go with the r- adjectives.


"Smack My Bitch Up" - The Prodigy
The title speaks for itself. Being a club classic doesn't hurt either.

CeeLoGreen has only two words for all those golddiggers out there...

And I only have two words for this song:

So.

Catchy.
