I had know idea that people were still into mash ups. I was sure it was an early turn of the century phenomena that was only celebrated by middle age media executives that wanted to be reminded of how cool Blue Oyster Cult was all set to a out of time 808 beats.
That is true.
Be that as it may there seems to be a new life for Mash Ups found at The Hood Internet. The cool thing about this blog besides their hipster links and the boast about hundreds of thousands of myspace friends is they actually sound like they know what they are doing.
Instead of tired classic rock with stale beats . These guys find current indie rock/ indie pop and mix it with the likes of R.Kelly and Dr. Dre. So most of the music is from this decade.
Besides what seems to be daily post they have a couple of full length releases which I am trying to mauw my way through. One with featuring the group The Pack. I haven’t made it through this yet.
Here are some of the good ones:

Stolen Transmission has severed its ties with the master, Universal Music Group. Sarah Lewitinn is now free to champion indie music unfettered by the long hand of corporate law. Good for you SL and thanks for the Oohlas. I am sure there is no shortage of capitol investors willing to get behind your genius and start an ad driven media company that distributes and markets artist then shares the profits with them at a fair and reasonable split. All while nurturing the artist and letting them maintain creative control.
I’m looking forward to that.
