Bedlam Blowout: The Hood Internet at Bedlam Theater
The Hood Internet is a Chicago mash-up duo best known for its compelling juxtaposition of rap and indie rock, and a steady stream of remixes and jam-packed mix-tapes have served to highlight the group’s ravenous musical appetite. Stylistically, 2009's Mixtape Volume Four follows suit with the pair’s past releases, segueing dozens of its mash-ups. Highlights include a tense blend of Isaac Brock’s vocals from Modest Mouse's “Float On” over the sped-up groove from Kanye West’s “Paranoid,” a busy, aggressive mix of Amanda Blank and VEGA (“No Reasons To Like You Better”), and a marriage between Beastie Boys and Matt And Kim that recalls the veteran New York hip-hop act’s playful side. Here, the duo brings its Girl Talk-like grooves to a benefit for the Bedlam Theater, which is being forced to vacate its West Bank location.
