Why do you like The Mix Up?

[Jitters]

Just wanted to everybody's little reasons for liking it so much.

Personally I just can't get into it :(

I really tried, honestly.

[kleptomaniac]

'cause the bass feels good. :cool: ;)

also 'cause freaky hijiki gives me tingly sensations all over!! :p

[MIKEtotheD]

Because it makes me want to just sit and vibe. :cool:

[b i o n i c]

'cause its groovy.

[pshabi]

Cause the motherfuckin' Beatsie Boys did it.

[JasonP]

Turn the bass up and play is LOUUUDDD!

[DJ Pioneer]

'cause the bass feels good. :cool: ;)

also 'cause freaky hijiki gives me tingly sensations all over!! :p

Yauch really stepped it up. I said it before, but his bass is the key to most of the songs on TMU. Very well done! It keeps everything moving along. He became quite the bass player over the years.

[Baseline]

'couse it's funny, groovy, tripy, funky with a great bass melody, ... etc.
can be upgraded, mixed, changed in any way ...
'cause you can dance to it.
sounds like some brilliant soundtrack of a great movie.
reminds me on theirs earlier stuff which i like.

and yes,
'cause the motherfuckin' Beatsie Boys did it!

[Jmoney77]

1. Cause its a good cd to smoke the Ganja to.
2. its funky
3. The beastie boys made a new cd

[DrunkenMantis]

I think it's good to:

1- get high to

2- it's pretty good to fuck to too, but not as good as TISFWO (fucking wise)

[timmie]

...cause its very laid back!
relaxing!!!..
i think this album is fantastic.....even my wife & friends turned around to me & said this music is great! who is it they said, I replied "Beastie Boys" they couldnt believe it!....so there buying the album & they have!......its great bbq / driving tunes..........


but then i blast out sure shot as its summer!!!!!

[MileHighMan]

It invites you (that being me) to shut the fuck up and comfortably enjoy silence from the voices inside your (my) head while they take you to 2007: A Beasties Odyssey.

I wasn't high at the time, but the first listen from A to Z had me imagining that I was on a Beastie Boys Space Shuttle, flying high to the moon.

They set up the stage on the moon and played a long, solid set called THE MIX-UP while the imaginary monkey and I got down with the grooves.

That, good people, is an example as to why:

A: I dig it the most
and
B: I look very forward to visiting said moon on August 17th in Denver.

[BeastieRunner]

It's good music.

[alikat]

it makes me feel good. esp. in the ride.

[Randetica]

It's good music.

you pretty much hit the nail here.



i would even like it if it wasnt from the beasties EEK
stop being brainwashed fans and like everything only cause it's from the beasties

[QueenAdrock]

It's a good summer-y album you can just chill out to. I listen to it when I'm on the computer late at night and it's relaxing. However, it's also funky fresh so I like pumping up the volume and listening to it in the car.

It's versatile.

[ATX3000]

i like the way it swirls in my ear hole

[HiPlnsDrftr]

It's a trip, it's got a funky beat, and I can bug out to it.....:D

[Funkyfreshgrape]

i like it becuz, i dun't even know, i just like it. :D

[mikizee]

I really dig it. GREAT to smoke a doobie to. I just purchased a really good sound system for my house (speakers alone were $3000!!!:eek:) and it sounds soooooooooopoib.

[Randetica]

i think everything sounds great with the right pair of speakers
try it!

[DIGI]

Because it's not a BBQ without it.

[Jmoney77]

it cums in my ear pussy

[Jitters]

Cause its a good cd to smoke the Ganja to.

I think it's good to:

1- get high to

GREAT to smoke a doobie to.

Maybe it's only enjoyable under the influence.....

[HiPlnsDrftr]

Our Evening Began In Peter Sachelle's Confortable Study
In His New York Townhouse Where The Candle Light
Was Just Right The HiFi Was In The Background
And The Wine Was Delicious...

:D:p[Laughing]:p:D

What's The Secret Peter
Naturally I'll Say Its The Wine
Mmm It Does Go Well With The Chicken
Delicious again Peter(y)

[Kid Presentable]

Why does everybody still put Peter Scharro? It's obviously Peter Sachelle. Beastiemania strikes again.

[djB]

because i can listen to the beastie boys in the car without my girlfriend saying "oh no, not the beastie boys"(y)

[jekiddo]

my girl still says oh no not the beastie boys

[TAFKASB]

I like it cause I can rest my vocal cords!..plusit's great to drive to!

[Randetica]

it cums in my ear pussy

yeah it's quite sexy

[tjpop]

here's a few things..

1. I like the whole concept/theme of the title...like they're mixing it up by giving us an all instrumental record, they're mixing it up by having a really crazy looking cover (all the others being simple, or subtle), they're mixing it up by putting on a hip hop show and an instrumental show, and "mix up" ties nicely into the whole mixed drink/cocktail type music vibe, too - which leads me to..
2. It is the prefect companion to In Sound From Way Out
(and hell they both have Martini glasses on their covers!!).
3. It's a punk statement - putting out a record that THEY want to put out, despite knowing it wouldn't sell a ton of records..it's very punk thing to do..and let's not forget they started as a punk group!
4. The Gala Event (the song)
5. The Gala Event (the show)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jennyb]

Cause the motherfuckin' Beatsie Boys did it.

This was more or less how I was going to reply. They could shit in a cd case and put it on the shelves and I'd adore it at this point. Say what you will about that.

[Laver1969]

This was more or less how I was going to reply. They could shit in a cd case and put it on the shelves and I'd adore it at this point. Say what you will about that.

Hahahaha. I've always said they could put out a cd of them reading the dictionary and it would be entertaining. *gulp - drinks more Beastie kool-aid*

[jennyb]

Hey Laver, I'm thirsty, pass meeeee the kool-aid. (I actually had grape kool-aid today)

On the real though, I have two words about this new Beastie Boy era. 1) GALA. 2) EVENT. (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

[kleptomaniac]

Hey Laver, I'm thirsty, pass meeeee the kool-aid. (I actually had grape kool-aid today)

i had orange kool-aid :)

[Laver1969]

Here's a guy and his review of TMU. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIBU81VnaWo&mode=related&search=)

[jennyb]

Hey that guy's got a soul patch or flavor saver! Hee hee.

[discopants]

Cos its cooler than Steve McQueen and Johnny Thunders in a fridge. Thats cool.

[paul jones]

I like driving to it because I can imagine I am in a film like Super Fly,something like that(y)

[graycat]

Jitters Try again.
Press play, and just chill.
That's why I like The Mix-Up.

[plutomama]

the music is sexy. the sounds are polished, but still funky. i think it's cool because it was totally unique thing to put out at this time. nobody was really expecting it, and i don't think that any other group could have pulled it off.

it's very genuine/raw - it's 100% beastie's!!

my 6 year old daughter loves it!

take care,


pm

[SpacemanSpliff]

my 6 year old daughter loves it!

interesting, my 5 year old son also loves some tracks of this album, his favorite is "off the grid". he got really hooked to that song, maybe cause of the drums/percussion and fuzzy bass parts.

[Cheeky1025]

1. cow bells
2. jingle bells
3. marching band whistles
4. Mikes drum beats
5. Adam's stage presence and guitar sex
6. Yauchs low down coolness plucking the base

[ericg]

I can't say nothing ...
it has a 'roots in tact - bases covered - nicely grown so chillllin' modality about it, with a hint of hmmm look out.
And could mean any number of other things from who is who to what is what.

In any case they've beaten and said all there is... so to me The Mix Up is an easily digestable soundtrack/ medium to show the mass confusion clearly - to pass the time, done with skill and elegance.

Chanoble?

[jennyb]

...5. Adam's stage presence and guitar sex
...

word!

[ericg]

Oh and to keep a/ The Revolution alive and just within grasp, of course - musically speaking.

And if I may be so.. it also has a man-made, genuine 'perpetual mix' texture - like just when one thinks it's discernable to some degree, it keeps open, versatile, and formidable in forming everything yet remaining formless... Like, it's s-t-i-l-l up to you... to figure it out and let it settle correctly.

[ThatGuy]

The album Is nice to have when you have some time to kick back and chill...

[Justin]

...cause its very laid back!

[milkboy009]

[Mericege]

Because the album's vibe makes you good,and also the bass and drums are perfect.It is a great record for getting into night...
