Where to find this? I'm not big on collecting bootlegs and the like but I remember that tour. It was great.

first two records are a couple of the greatest hip hop albums ever imho, but I never really bother with anything after that. although at the time I was really into Check Your Head and Ill Communication. Lost interest entirely after that.

i'd like to give an early birthday shout-out to ad rock. i know halloween is his birthday cuz he said it was in a song once.
i always loved egg raid on mojo from the speed trials comp. as far as their pre-rap stuff goes. and cookie puss of course. which is still genius.

if you live in NY and ever go out, you've probably run into Mojo. He's still around, still working the doors, putting on shows and playing records.

yah but you could still know what a cookie puss was!
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 21:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Thank you Stevie. :)
I never experienced a Cookie Puss while I lived in NYC but I did see the Beasties all the time. Perhaps I should have asked one of them to direct me to a Carvel's.
― A socialist who's happy to spread the wealth (Susan), Wednesday, 29 October 2008 12:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Carvel sucked, though I always really hated Ice Cream Cakes. Please also note Fudgie the Whale, who shared a mold with Santa, if I remember correctly.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 13:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah Carvel is horrible, horrible ice cream.
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 13:31 (fifteen years ago) link
i love carvel ice cream. i live for flying saucers.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah flying saucers are great, and the cakes, with the chocolate crunchies in between the layers. i totally miss carvel. a coworker and i recently tried to get a carvel cake sent to CO, but no dice. wickie the witch for a happy halloween.
― Booker van Permalink (Hunt3r), Wednesday, 29 October 2008 23:10 (fifteen years ago) link
so the beasties are obviously megaproud about being from brooklyn in 99% of their lyrics, so why in "shake yr rump" do they say "from downtown, manhattan, the village"
― ○◙i shine cuz i genital grind◙○ (roxymuzak), Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Only MCA is from Brooklyn. Mike D and AdRock are from Manhatten.
― A socialist who's happy to spread the wealth (Susan), Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:50 (fifteen years ago) link
that makes sense. mca is the one saying "from downtown".
youre right, i forgot "you're from secausus, im from manhattan" - adrock

So there's a 20th anniversary remaster of Paul's Boutique out; is it any good? Does it just mash the levels up? B-Boy Bouillabaisse is split into 9 tracks at the mastering...
― Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 08:29 (fifteen years ago) link
1. It is louder, as you would expect, but not mashed; Audacity shows no plateaus.
2. The bass has definitely been enhanced, but not overly so; much closer to the original vinyl.
3. If you like the album, it has never, ever sounded this good. Still one of the best headphone albums ever.
4. B-Boy Bouillabaisse is split but you don't notice it.

I am, yes, but HMV's not far way and frankly I needed some fresh air. I also got a haircut.

Ah. Carry on - fine movies, neat trim hair, Paul's Boutique through the Grados - good day.

Really glad you like, to be honest. I always have a hard time repurchasing stuff, but sometimes it's worth it.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 22:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Bump, in light of the Check Your Head reissue.
I think CYH is my 2nd favourite Beasties record, definitely. I also think it seems pretty disingenuous to think of them as hip hop. They're just a band who happen to have done a lot of different things including a lot of rapping.

Looks like somebody just posted this on line after 22 years, so what the hell...

Huge respect for this comment. Also: 1) fuck cancer, as ever; 2) sincere hopes for a speedy recovery.

Did anyone pick up the record store day single? It was "Lee Majors Come Again" and "Here's a Little Somethin' For Ya", both sides sounding like they went through a ridiculous amount of DJ/remix work. Like, there are breaks all over the place, a ton of samples (they seem to be based mostly off "Da Funk" and "The Number Song"), and some very heads-up production. I doubt the full album is gonna be like that, but what if it was?? The single is one of my favorite things they've ever done.
― frogbs, Monday, 21 February 2011 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Couldn't listen to them for ages but am really enjoying Ill Communication and Check Your Head right now! Does anyone do anything like classic Beasties these days without embarrassing themselves?
― puff pastry hangman (admrl), Friday, 18 March 2011 22:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Whatever summer it was when I was young and carefree and Ill Communication and It's Great When You're Straight came out, that was such a great summer. Shame the latter hasn't held up well at all.
