my little girl was dancing real hard to Check Your Head while we went grocery shopping this morning. Up until "Time For Livin'". That made her cry.

I thought I had written a pretty good bass part until a few years later when I realized I had subliminally stole it from Track 6 of License to Ill.

otm. but the vibe was kinda ruined when we had to watch Kid Rock and Travie McCoy butcher them. Questlove and Black Thought made up for it though.

Travie McCoy is the dude from Gym Class Heroes and did that "Billionaire" song recently. I'm sure you've heard some stuff he's done.

Awesome, SNL just showed a short little snippet of the Beastie Boys as tribute after the fake news. Has the show ever done that before?

Watching their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame right now on HBO. Just Ad Rock and Mike D. Industry folks must have been tipped so this could happen before he passed away.
LL Cool J said they were the ones who played his demo to Rick Rubin which is how he got signed.
Ad Rock read a note from Adam -- whose folks were in the audience. Pretty special.

All their stuff was such a huge celebration of life. We went to the baseball park on Friday night and they were playing "Johnny Ryall" between innings while the kids ran laps around the concourse. Beeps and I walked past two concession guys who were trading off lyrics to "Paul Revere". There was sadness, but this weekend has definitely felt like more a wake than a funeral.
If this is how you mourn a poet, I hope we do it like this every time.

It counts(ish). It's not like In Sound From Way-Out, where it was just a comp of previously heard instrumentals. It's a collection of new recordings. No one paid it any attention, though.

I bought 'In Sound From Way Out' on LP when it was first released, and I seem to remember there was some kind of hoop you had to jump through to get the damn thing. Like, coupon in Grand Royal mag or something like that? Hell, I'm old, don't remember. I *did* think that the thing had a lot of exclusive instrumentals, but I looked at the Wiki entry just now and, yeah, I guess it was just the stuff from 'Check' / 'Ill' with like two exclusives

I think the first pressing, on "gold" (yellow) vinyl, was originally mail-order only; then after the initial rush of orders, leftover stock was sold to indie or OS record shops - I bought it in-store in Australia, anyway.
No exclusive tracks - Son Of Neckbone was off the Sure Shot 12", and Drinkin' Wine was a Jimmy James/Frozen Metal head b-side - but many of the CYH/IC transplants were different mixes or edits, or vocal-less versions of tracks that originally had chanting or singing.

the video for Mullet Head is sadly instrumental, but it lets you focus on him shredding both bass and powder:

feel like we could poll the guys quoted on his wiki page
Yauch died at age 47 on May 4, 2012.[1][26] The cause of death was not immediately known.[27] Upon his death, Russell Simmons of Def Jam Records said that Yauch "was incredibly sweet and the most sensitive artist, who I loved dearly." Ben Stiller tweeted that Yauch "stood for integrity as an artist."[11] Joel Madden of Good Charlotte said of the Beastie Boys: "We wanted to dress like them, talk like them, and we wanted to make music like them."[10] Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam said that Yauch was "a crazy talent whose contributions with his band were inspirational and consistently ground breaking".[28] Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke wrote, "We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and [very] smart guy. May he rest in peace".[29] Eminem said in an interview "Adam Yauch brought a lot of positivity into the world and I think it's obvious to anyone how big of an influence the Beastie Boys were on me and so many others".[30]
