Nicky Wire dissed the Beastie Boys in the press and even in song

― Morrissey & Clunes: The Severed Alliance (PaulTMA), Friday, 11 May 2012 17:23 (fourteen years ago)

Probably wasn't worth it, bringing 3rd Bass into the thread.

I'm glad I was asleep

xx-post
he was punished for that by having to wear a banana suit though

― zappi, Friday, 11 May 2012 17:27 (fourteen years ago)

I was thinking this morning about MCA, and how his gruff voice would have transformed really well into old age.

Edward III, it's ready to get them confused, just remember pete nice was the prime minister of canada at the the time and also rapped in the ny scene, camron and company did a concept album about his life called ”diplomatic immunity”

Just watched that. Nuts.

yeah that's great! a friend of mine is pals w/ the dad.

― it's smdh time in America (will), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:14 (fourteen years ago)

That's awesome, but they could not have picked a less MCA-centric track, bass aside.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:21 (fourteen years ago)

The bass is that song though, ad much as the suspenders and mustaches.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:41 (fourteen years ago)

so great, thanks for posting that phil, made my day!

I'm sure Yauch would rather these people spend some time reading up on Tibetan oppression or do a shift at a soup kitchen, but I'm not gonna deny people the opportunity to deal with his death in a way that makes them comfortable.

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 18 May 2012 04:48 (fourteen years ago)

re: Sabotage not being Yauch enough--the video is the definitive Nathaniel Hornblower Production, so there's that

― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 18 May 2012 17:12 (fourteen years ago)

"Sabotage" video is credited to Jonze, not Hornblower (whereas "Sure Shot" is credited to both)

― some dude, Friday, 18 May 2012 17:21 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, there's the misconception lately but it was definitely a Jonze video

― mh, Friday, 18 May 2012 17:56 (fourteen years ago)

aha I stand corrected

― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 18 May 2012 19:29 (fourteen years ago)

This short Q&A between Fricke and Adam Horovitz made me choke up again.

I blame Scik Mouthy for pointing it out on twitter

When we were in Los Angeles, doing Paul's Boutique, he got this crazy apartment in Koreatown. And he made "A Year and a Day." What happened to the three of us together and all that crap? But I heard that track, and it was some heavy shit. He rapped his ass off. Adam bought a jet pilot's helmet, rigged it with a microphone and recorded the song wearing that helmet.

I love the bit about the tree. "Anything is better than that tree."

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 18:10 (fourteen years ago)

that tree is dope, I had a poster of it on my wall.

― how's life, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

The bit about Gratitude made me well up.

― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:15 (fourteen years ago)

Love those interviews - there's one with Mike D too. Great that they pay homage to him (prompted by Fricke) by telling these little specific stories about tracks. It's easy to slip into the broad sweep when you're summing up a life but reading about something geeky, like how he made the beat for Paul Revere is so much more powerful to me.

Yeah, it's a really nice, personal way of doing it.

Westwood posted this home video from the Raising Hell tour in London, and it is INCREDIBLE: Drunk Beasties, LL Cool J swapping the mic on Slow & Low, MCA stagediving straight onto the floor, Lyor Cohen diving after him to smack anyone who touches him, Russell Simmons rapping along with his head uncovered, LL AND LYOR DOING THE WHOP TOGETHER:
