THE HOOD INTERNET presents 1986

In a way, The Hood Internet feels like a throwback in itself! They’ll be producing a new mashup of more than 50 songs from 1986 every Thursday for the next four weeks. We really enjoyed this first one!

Quadstock 2011 Wrap Up

[Phantogram]

With just two weeks of school left, Quadstock was the perfect way to end out our spring quarter. This year’s lineup included The Hood Internet, Phantogram, The Thermals, and Del the Funky Homosapien. I am so proud of my two friends Addie and John for planning such an incredible event and even more impressed by the entire staff that began their work day at 9AM that morning to make sure that the event was running smoothly for all of the students throughout the festivities. It was a beautiful event and I’m so glad I got to spend it with a wonderful group of people that I adore.

And for the giggles…

[The Thermals love to draw on the whiteboard of their greenroom. Oh those artists…]

The Break Down of A Mash Up

Mash Up

v. To take elements of two or more pre-existing pieces of music and combine them to make a new song.

Single songs are out! Bring on the mash up created by djs and artists such as Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk, Dick Fink and Nicolas Fenmore of Super Mash Brothers and Aaron Brink and Steve Reidell of The Hood Internet.

Why listen to one good song, when you can listen to a compilation of some of your favorite songs mixed into one often time containing today’s mainstream with previous hits.

What makes mash up so hot right now? I’d say, convenience. It’s hot in the clubs, I wouldn’t know personally but my source says yes, you can dance to it and you probably know most of the lyrics to many of the songs featured. They just sound good…when done right of course.

Wired Magazine recently dissected Girl Talk song, “What’s It All About,” to show their readers just how precise and complicated composing a mash up really is.
