Beastie Boys name new album
Mike D gets ready for new record and Live Earth gig
Beastie Boys have revealed exclusively to NME.COM that their new album will be called 'The Mix Up' and will be released in June.

Bandmember Mike D said the follow-up to 2004's 'To The 5 Boroughs' will be "radically different" to its' predecessor. The rockier record will instead hark to the style of the band's classic albums 'Check Your Head' and 'Paul's Boutique'.

Mike D said: "We play instruments on the whole album, as opposed to sampling. There's more rock on there. If you know us you can trace the influences and they're no completely surprising. Someone who listens to us casually might think 'What the hell are these guys doing?'

"It might make you flip your wig right off, or your hairpiece, if you're a casual listener."

The star also talked about the band's forthcoming appearance at the London leg of the Live Earth shows, which aim to promote action to confront global climate change.

Beastie Boys will perform at Wembley Stadium alongside the likes of Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snow Patrol.

Speaking about the cause, Mike D said: "It's come to the point where drastic measures have to be taken now. To really create a mass consciousness of what needs to be done, mass action, it's gonna take mass awareness. And these huge concerts around the globe are probably one of the best means of doing so."

Asked if he would be playing any new material at the event, the star replied: "By that point we'll already be playing new songs. But I dunno - you don't wanna do 'Jazz Odyssey' in front of a crowd of 60,000."

The Mix Up, eh? Sounds pretty generic.

[Lo_Lyfe]

^^^You do.

It's in another thread.

[Lex Diamonds]

I came here straight from the main page, sorry for not checking.

And if anyone's generic around here it's you. You're too generic for school. You wrote the book on generic, and then won a Nobel prize for generic-ness for it.

Yeah, man. Great.

Anyway, this new title does sound a little generic, but I don't really give a fuck anymore.

hmm rockier?!?!

Well a rockier sound surely needs lyrics, or are they going for a Mogwai kinda sound?

And what does 'rockier' have to do with Paul's Boutique? That's what has me pretty interested.

[Parkey]

If it's even spitting distance of Check Your Head I'll be wanking till Christmas.

Quoted for truth.

good point.

That's NME's utter ineptitude.

"wanking till Christmas"

Now theres an LP title, still time to change it.

[TAFKASB]

If it's even spitting distance of Check Your Head I'll be wanking till Christmas.

That will be 2 of us in Nottingham wanking then!..lmao ;)

[TAFKASB]

I don't want to sound like I'm throwing a damp towl on this, but until it comes up on here...I aint 100% convinced. These cats normally give nothing until right before it's dropped. The guys obviously come in here, and what with all the zzzzz about lyrics or no lyrics caused amoung us, you'd think if they have named the album they would mention whether it was 100% instrumental or not. If the news is true, sounds like this could be the best shit yet!

[paul jones]

all this global warming shit is bollocks

[JobDDT]

I can't wait...

"Global warming ya'll, it is a real issue,
Like Sheryl Crowe said, 'Only use one tissue!'

"wanking till Christmas"

Can you imagine the cover art... You'll go blind!

[funk63]

so they have a new song called jazz oddesy?

[ILLMIX]

to the above poster, i think he's refering to the fact that the album will be mostly Jazz........:confused:

[CatchaGroove]

More of the same from MTV.com

Beastie Boys have settled on a name for their upcoming seventh studio album. In an interview with the NME, and confirmed (in a "well, if he's saying it, it's pretty much confirmed" sort of way) by the band's management, Mike D said that the record will be called The Mix Up, and will be released in June. D said that the new disc, the follow-up to 2004's To the 5 Boroughs, features the B-Boys forgoing sampling in favor of live instrumentation, harkening back to their Check Your Head heyday. ...

[MC Moot]

I was hoping for "Seven Day Weekend" as the title.....

[balohna]

I'm fucking excited, seeing as Check Your Head makes me orgasm every time.

[Bernard Goetz]

That's a Spinal Tap reference.

[Otis Driftwood]

That's a Spinal Tap reference.
Yo Mr Goetz, how was the subway ride? Got any loose screws?

Sometimes I really wish I could put that unfortunate evening behind me. Other times I love thinking about it... :p

I'm excited for this record! The hiatus is back off again!

[cj hood]

what does PB have to do with instruments.....or is that the writer getting his shit mixed up....excuse the pun......

[funk63]

That's a Spinal Tap reference.

my bad. im 10.

[Brother McDuff]

what does PB have to do with instruments.....or is that the writer getting his shit mixed up....excuse the pun......

word up, hood. nme is always fucking stupid like that. they say there's no sampling, though compare it to CYH and PB? talk about night and day, geez. i still take Mike D's quotes as truth but whoever wrote that is a real cob-knobbler.(n)


i like the fact that Mike mentioned both jazz and rock in there. becuz you know the funk is a given. sounds like it's going to be well balanced.

[Brother McDuff]

according to MTV news, the beasties' management have confirmed that the title is "The Mix Up".

[roosta]

i like the title

[Chicka B]

Haha The Mix Up, I like. Straight to the point. (y) And I like hearing there's gonna be rock on there, interesting.

[ggirlballa]

honestly i don't like the title sounds too plain
