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

Really glad you like, to be honest. I always have a hard time repurchasing stuff, but sometimes it's worth it.

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.

...and Eloise, an overweight go-go dancer who’s supposed to look “sexy” when she strips down to her black lace, I guess, but mostly just comes off as gruesome.
reads like the 2009 internet xhuxk - consistent style!

It's a pain in the neck (sorry had to say it)
Huge respect for this comment. Also: 1) fuck cancer, as ever; 2) sincere hopes for a speedy recovery.

Mike D too scared to be close to him?
anyway, ouch! Lymph node doesn't sound good, but hell what do i know. hope he recovers soon!

Hope he recovers and is at ease.

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.
― puff pastry hangman (admrl), Friday, 18 March 2011 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh I guess they were released a year apart. Hazy days
― puff pastry hangman (admrl), Friday, 18 March 2011 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link
God yeah..both albums I could spin anytime, anywhere and it just always feels both fresh and familiar.
when they re-released Check Your Head, and I think Paul's Boutique too, last year, they put up a commentary on their website for each of them, where they all sat around and talked about making the albums. Both are definitely A+, many lols, and worth digging up
I'll see if I can find the link
― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
would be curious about the Paul's Boutique one...

There's some great stuff on the Paul's Boutique one where they talk about all the clothes they wore in the Hey Ladies video
― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:57 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm suprised more albums haven't been released with commentary tracks like on dvds. (Poster Children did it several years ago, but I've not heard of any since then.)
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I think it's a really cool idea, especially with bands that are fun to listen to, a la Beasties.
― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 18 March 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago) link
I love the sample repository sites that sprang up in my early internet days about "Paul's Boutique" and also Pop Will Eat Itself's "This Is The Day..." album. It was intriguing to see the vatious consensuses especially where I did in fact know the source.

Did anyone else watch the full-length 'Fight For Your Right Revisited' the other night?
Link here: http://www.juxtapoz.com/Current/beastie-boyss-fight-for-your-right-revisited-full
It was kinda silly fun overall, like a big long music video...but I thought it was pretty fun. And Elijah pulls off his Ad-Rock homage pretty nicely!

feel like Beastie Boys are extremely unhip to like now. are the young people into them at all??
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 9 September 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
when i saw em at bonnaroo, no one sang along to "Paul Revere," but everyone knew the words to "Intergalactic," so
― rolling in the derp (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 9 September 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
Paul Revere didn't even crack the top 40 when it was released what, 30 years ago? Intergalactic was a much bigger hit from not much longer ago.
but no kids don't care about the Beastie Boys. why should they?
― you will always be wrong (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 9 September 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
tbh i'm always kinda surprised when friends of mine that are like 10 yrs younger than me seem to still care about the beasties
― the 500 gats of bartholomew thuggins (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 9 September 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
there's no reason they should care, but when I was a teenager I listened to "old" bands, y'know? just seems like Beasties fall from cooler-than-shit to eww-those-corny-old-white-guys??? in a relatively short span of time is pretty epic.
