Year End Dance Party















The Hood Internet- Doe Boys and Girls In America (MP3)

You don't want to be me. Constant echoes in my head are the price of being a music obsessive. Only with intense concentration can I turn it off.

While there are more artful mash-up crews, it's the Hood Internet that most faithfully recreates the sounds I hear even when no music is playing. In this case, they replace Craig Finn's caterwauling in "Stuck Between Stations" with the surreal lyrics of Three 6 Mafia's "Doe Boy Fresh".

There are literally over a hundred additional mash-ups by the Hood Internet available here. The best of them is probably the Ghostface overlay on Spoon in "The Ghost of You Lingers."

In my case, however, the culture clash doesn't stop at the intersection of indie rock and hip hop. I often hear Ronnie Milsap singing over Oscar Peterson. And in my world, Peter Tosh and Los Tigres del Norte are musical partners.

I'd like to think that many of the "crazy little women" of Kansas City- pictured here on stage with Robert Randolph- dig those sounds too.

Below is a list of music-related passings that I compiled in 2007. I realize that reducing an artist's life's work to a couple words is woefully inadequate, but that's the nature of this morbid roll call.
