(THIS) POLL REVERE(S) — ILM Artist Poll #19 — Beastie Boys VOTING THREAD

This is somewhat obvious, but there's a clear similarity in the careers of the Beasties/Beck/Eminem. They begin as clowns/novelties (not an aesthetic judgement--those early records are my favourites by them), release a second album that critics write about very seriously, and after that, it's up and down.

A little than an hour left to vote. If you're on the fence, get off it and send me a ballot.

A little *less

FIN.

Albums unveiled tomorrow.
Top 50 tracks over the course of the week.
Videos after tracks.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

DROP

Forgot this, on the psychedelic tip: "59 Christie Street" has the Hendrix sample, and "Car Thief" as a whole has a certain elements that I think qualify it.

Again, I think psychedelia is just one element in the mix, but I think it's there.

Here's a playlist I made a few years ago: all the Paul's Boutique samples I could find on Spotify.

(also if anyone's interested - Nation of Millions samples: http://open.spotify.com/user/nathanwoolls/playlist/3CUxIrGEInLzlVZeaiLLhR and 3 Feet High & Rising samples http://open.spotify.com/user/nathanwoolls/playlist/3lcfUhB2hHcvWGE3RzPfJk

Awesome thanks. This stuff, I lap it up.

Spotify suddenly now worth every penny, ty nate.

Things that are psychedelic about Paul’s Boutique:

and the riff at the end of "looking down the barrel of a gun", and overall, randomness embraced as an aesthetic approach

LTI was a good alb for drinking, but I know when my friends and I started listening to paul's boutique, certain substances made it a much richer listening experience, as good as spacemen 3 or monster magnet or w/e we were jamming at the time

so in that sense, if it wasn't psychedelic it was at least psychedelic-friendly

Ill Comm is the true psychedelic beasties album.

^^^^ this guy knows what's up

great playlists sir!
