From the desk of Jordan Sowards , Semiregular guest blogger Best of 2007—walk in the dang ol' park, right? That's what I thought, anyway. Especially after seeing the leviathan list of Jackson, the ursine overachiever. I was all, "Whoa, 20? What a freak! Mine's only gonna be ten for sure!" My apologies, Gentle Jackson. For those of you who have peeked ahead, you'll know I was kidding myself to think I could ever be prevailed upon to pare my list down to an "Alabama graduate's dozen." No way, Jose. So what you're getting [...]
The following is my end-of-the-year list of favourite songs from 2007. Same deal as last time: 30 different artists, 30 songs. You can download the songs separately; OR . . . save me some bandwidth and cop them all in a single 161MB file AND unzip it. ****************************** ************ 30 Maximo Park - Our Velocity The best thing that Maximo Park has recorded so far. And one of the most exciting tracks I've heard this year in terms of unconventional song structure and convoluted (but insanely catchy) melodies. And [...]
I couldn't finish the week without a Radiohead Update (_radio_update ). It seems that not only has everyone spent the week listening to In Rainbows, but we've been asking eachother what we think, and did we steal it ?. It seems that everyone has an opinion - from Portishead to the Whitehouse (seriously). Fans have written plays , been submitting cover art [...]
Those Hood Internet dudes consistently bend my ear their direction due to the quality of their mashups. (Have I told you how much I love R Kelly vs Broken Social Scene? ). The latest one to pique my interest is a mix of Radiohead's In Rainbows favourite "Reckoner" and Eve. Fuck the biters, this version makes you realise how hook-laden "Reckoner" really is.

Terius Nash aka " The-Dream " and Tricky Stewart co-wrote Umbrella and supposedly put it on hold for Britney Spears. Spears passed on the song, instead opting for Me Against The Music , and during a session with Rihanna , the Bahama Mama snatched it up and made it the mega-hit of the Summer. According to The-Dream, Umbrella was written in just twelve minutes. [...]
thinking about the DJ AM show tonite at The Underground . mash-up overload. but...part of me really wants to get drunk in wrigley. let's do this cubbies. oh, 15 Minutes To Live was talking about a Buck 65 remix contest for the song " Shutter Buggin' " hosted by Sage Francis ' label, Strange Famous. i hope that yields some good songs. buck consistently raises the bar for all of hip hop, and every other genre he dabbles in and redefines. i'll post his "Weirdo Magnet" tapes [...]

Fujiya & Miyagi Tonite @ Empty Bottle A nice change of pace is in store this Friday. In America, repping their new album Transparent Things, the English (not Japanese) group Fujiya & Miyagi are hitting Chicago tonite. They'll be playing a show at Empty Bottle before heading west to continue on their route. The show ought to be a lot of fun.

Another excellent mashup from the Hood Internet - this time ABX mixes Black Rob and Animal Collective member Panda Bear. It takes the owl sample from "Bros" and a bit of the song too, a dollop of "Carrots" and lets Black Rob glide over the top.

a mashup so powerful, it could destroy the entire universe. A genre close to my heart, ever since Danger Mouse dropped The Grey Album , has been the mashup/bootleg genre. Recently, thanks to artists like Girl Talk and websites like The Hood Internet , the mashup genre has received a massive surge of popularity. For the uninitiated, mashups consist of the combination of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. Ideally, the music and vocals belong to completely different styles/genres generally considered [...]
This half decade has seen the rise of the mash-up in indie music, peaking perhaps last year with Girl Talk's Night Ripper . But, The Hood Internet wants their piece of the game and are snatching it up like nobody's business. The blogosphere has been having a love affair with these guys and with good reason - the sheer mass of output from the Hood Internet has been impressive in itself, but there's also just so many winners among it all. Most of my favorites come from the golden-eared ABX, who compiled the fantastic "I'm a [...]
I fear that if I get in the groove of posting every time The Hood Internet does something awesome, I'm gonna be posting about them on a near daily basis. And, it is irrefutable that I didn't hold since the Gift from The Hood Internet mix-tape. I held on Does It Offend You, Yeah? vs. Yo Majesty and Yung Holliwood . I held on DJ Khaled vs. the Junior Boys , Rihanna vs. M83 and Amerie vs. Daft Punk . Hell, I even held on Common [...]
"R.I.P. Mash-ups, we'll miss your forced titular ironies." So began yesterday's "Mash-up Genre Raises Hell in Heaven" article on Idolator . Not long ago I was invited to help out as an infrequent guest editor over at Mashuptown , one of the web's leading bootleg sites, and I feel that I've been able to keep at least a casual understanding of what is going on within the genre. As such I suppose I was a little taken back at the unexpected state of emergency. Idolator continues, "In The last few months, friends and family claim [...]
