Caribou‘s Swim comes out on June 4th and from what I’ve heard in “Odessa” and “Sun”, this album is going to be dope. Speaking of “Sun”, Caribou has launched a massive remix contest for the track. Simply go to their site and download the stems for free via Soundcloud…then do some magic to it…then bump it up to their SoundCloud page and BOOM. Some early favorites are The Hood Internet (big surprise there) and Waaga‘s own Spirituals aka Tyler Tadlock. Check them:

I feel bad. Somehow I left The Horrors‘ Primary Colours off my best of 2009 list. It was that good, and I feel terrible for the omission. Ah well… as my tribute to them I’ve decided to dedicate this post to them and the fine job they’re doing with these latest remixes. Beautiful hazy emotional landscapes – that’s what The Horrors create – in their own music and with their remixes. Check them:
mp3: Florence + The Machine – Hurricane Drunk (The Horrors Remix) thanks to Sheena Beaston!
mp3: Teenagersintokyo – Peter Pan (The Horrors Remix)

So my morning routine was rather boring until this nice little email from The Hood Internet popped up letting me know that their 4th mixtape installment was out and ready for a free download. It’s loaded with stunning mash-ups, some featured on our site previously, and some we quite frankly might have missed somewhere down the line. A few stood out immediately to me and I couldn’t wait to press play. Here’s the ones that really got me going:
mp3: The Hood Internet – AZ (featuring Ghostface) vs. The Golden Filter – Solid Gold From New York
mp3: The Hood Internet – Modest Mouse vs. Kanye West – Floating Paranoia
mp3: The Hood Internet – Michael Jackson vs. Ratatat – Billy “Wildcat” Jean

mp3: The Hood Internet – Two Weeks Of Hip Hop (Grizzly Bear vs. Dead Prez)
I’m starting to think that The Hood Internet can do wrong. Actually I’m going on record write now and saying that’s a fact. The Hood Internet can do NO WRONG. My Gold Mask, one of my favorite new bands, get the remix treatment from THI with their song “Bitches”. THI splices the song up with some Roxy Music and boy does it work perfectly!
mp3: My Gold Mask – Bitches (The Hood Internet Remix)
and here’s the original which is kick ass in it’s own right:
mp3: My Gold Mask – Bitches
Is there anything The Hood Internet can’t do? I’m pretty sure there isn’t. Their latest mash fest involves Grizzly Bear’s “Two Weeks” and a classic Dead Prez track. The result is something I’ll be listeing to for a long time. The tracks blend perfectly. Who knew Grizzly Bear would flow so nicely with hip hop? Apparently The Hood Internet did.
