In other words, the 'Boys lightened up and said whatever, much like on LTI.

[martijn]

Nice interview. Are you working on a new site for the beasties? the stuff you did in the hello nasty era was great! at least we got regular updates then. (y)

[SOP]

So there'll be lyrics. Nice.

Thanks for sharing, Ian C. (y)

"effortless"

Key word cj hood.

I like how they were laughing about the "effortless". It makes me think that the reason the lyrics were effortless is that (a) voices were sampled and all music is played by the band; (b) there are no lyrics; or (c) the email about the instrumental-only album was an example of the broken telephone problem at Capitol (i.e., the band told someone they are playing instruments and the PR person at Capitol thought that meant an instrumental album.

Either way I pretty stoked about the new LP.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Exactly. It was almost sarcastic the way he said it.

[Lo_Lyfe]

Thanks for sharing. (y)

Either there's lyrics and that's funny, or there's no lyrics and it's funny.

[MC Boulangerie]

I understand nothing, somebody can make a summary? :o

[halfangel]

ahhh thanks for that dude!

[Odie]

Maybe all the the lyrics are all recorded because their the off cuts from the last record.

[JasonP]

Just wondering if you guys remember who Ian is?

"Shout out goes to Ian and Zoe"

That's a thought. Something is afoot. It's probably just a smart-arsed way of saying they didn't record any vocals. Although, there's been no studiocam for some time now.

"Shout out goes to Ian and Zoe"
It's a Beastie Boys board. What do you think?

(y) Cool

[Lo_Lyfe]

Ummm, ian? Does the new album sound good?

[Brother McDuff]

the excitement is rising...

[kingcrimson024]

I'm Ian C.

[Chicka B]

Hmmm that little interview says alot, thanks. So there will be lyrics, they're just effortless which makes me think there may be songs like pow? :p

[balohna]

In that Check Your Head lyrics thing did it say "Pow" for Pow's lyrics?

[pshabi]

So there'll be lyrics. Nice.

How do you numbnuts come up with this from THAT INTERVIEW? They were "effortless," as in they put absolutely no effort into them, because their AREN'T ANY. He was laughing for pete's sake. You people are brilliant.

[Justin]

So does this mean we can ask IAN for Mike D's phone number?

[fonky pizza]

Hi!

Thanks for the interview(y)

[fonky pizza]

I understand nothing, somebody can make a summary? :o

En gros, d'abord ils parlent du magazine Grand Royal, puis quelques mots sur le nouveau disque, plus rock et avec des paroles "sans effort"...

[MC Boulangerie]

Merci (y)
