I actually just called a friend who is probably the biggest B Boys fan I know and left her a message saying I'm thinking of her which sounds so weird and lame but I know she's going to be devastated.

So so sad.

I missed the story from last month that he wouldn't be able to attend the RRHOF induction, which I guess would've at least been a strong indicator that something like this was around the corner. As it is, though, I feel like I've been slapped with a flounder.

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.

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

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.

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.
