whoo hoo beastieboysbaby! im confused, whats this piecemeal crap? :P

[mathcart]

That was really cool of Yauch to do this- hadn't really occured to me what it was gonna be- a serious engaging of fans questions, you don't usually get that kind of personal attention at Q&A's- especially from the boys when their at full Voltron

(y)

[Laver1969]

Excellent!

Next questions I'd like to know are what kinds of songs/styles they're playing around with (ya know I've been waiting for the Gospel/Salsa combo sound)...and is there a tentative release date they're shooting for.

Did she seriously get the first response? Well done!

[beastieboysbaby]

AWESOMEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!! (y)(y)(y)

[Pootytang]

That was very noice.

I've noticed a trend when it comes to them doing the Little Radio shows. It seems that they like to do them around Christmas time for some odd reason. Maybe it is like a Christmas present to the fans even though I know they are Jewish.

[YoungRemy]

that was fun

[Brother McDuff]

that was a nice little nugget of news right there. hell yeah. made my day.

can we expect more of these snippets in the future? whats the story behind this little current tv promo?

Yes, current TV is going to roll these out one question at a time. The hold up was a legal one -- Yauch's photo release. ChapinYoung at current TV put out the word early this last summer that you could ask Yauch a question -- either by text or video. Mic-to-Mic reported on it. (Even if some of you have friction with the person who runs Mic-to-Mic, Beastiemania, Wall-to-Wall and Oscilloscope Archives, those sites are invaluable spots for Beastie information.) This first one has been televised on current tv's cable channel. Check current.com for more. I'll post when I see them up.

Can't believe some of the people who posted don't like Hello Nasty. That and Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head are stone classics.

[YoungRemy]

phone, cable, internet AND he dropped a deuce?

[Brother McDuff]

Boy oh boy, its hard to believe that we're already in the midst of a new bboys record. It just finally really hit me with this latest current tv interview that we're in the "official" midst of a new bboy record. Exit "The Mix-Up" and enter "??????????????".

Wow, my most joyous event in the universe: a new beastie installment. Shit's goin down, for reals.

Feels like just yesterday TT5B came out.

We're back, Mortimer!!!!!!!! We're back!

i wanna cry

[acamus]

hands up! drop it klepto! that's some nasty batty music, d.

[paul jones]

Mike D has a right to be annoyed.Installers should Install,then get the fuck out.
A number 1 is ok but a number 2 in somebody elses house is just bad manners and unproffesional.
I hope the lyrics Yauch quoted will be on the new stuff.It will be up there with 'I'll stir fry you in my wok' kind of stuff.
I asked Yauch a question but I can't remember what it was
Is there more Yauch replies?

[beastieboysbaby]

[acamus]

props, dana! i didn't think he'd answer it. he even referenced the whole sincere thing - the tip, at least Yauch, has been on lately.

[razmatazern]

they posted another one (http://current.com/items/89280607_advice_from_a_beastie_boy)

It's pretty exciting watching these on tv (y). I saw klepto's question last night, and it was pretty awesome.

[fonky pizza]

Yo! That's nice!!!!!!!(y):o

[Kid Presentable]

While I don't understand a lot of Acamus' fascination with fonts and colours, it's nice that he linked these up on here. Can someone please tell me if Miramanee's question about a Gala DVD is one that will be answered? There's no risk in making most fans wait, but I too think it would be the ideal tour to turn into a DVD. It looked so visually interesting, they'll probably never play more random setlists, and we already have a Body Movin/Triple Trouble-show DVD. I don't get why they'd hesitate in making it.

[acamus]

hey Kid Presentable. thanks for the props. i love me some fonts, what can i say? here are ALL the questions that Chapin Young asked Yauch:

Gunnin':
--Why'd you want to do this movie, was there something specific about the
material that you personally related with?
--What's special about Rucker Park? History/legacy/players...
--What's the current environment like for promising, young basketball
players? Is it too much for a kid to deal with?
--What's going on with the sneaker companies and these young players?
--How'd you choose which 8 kids you'd focus on? How'd they react to you,
being the famous guy you are?
--What's happened to these 8 guys since the doc was finished?
--Which kid was most interesting to you?
--What can you tell us about getting those insane fisheye aerial shots?

politics/culture/religion:
--Are you still involved with the Free Tibet campaign? What's the latest
news?
--There's a whole young generation of seekers today...Will you tell us about
finding Buddhism?
--Are you going around "incognito" much lately?
--At the1998 MTV awards you addressed the issue of Muslim people being
stereotyped as terrorists...obviously this was a pre-9/11, pre-Iraq War
world. What's your feeling on the issue today?
--With the perceptions of Muslims, it's as if you saw this huge issue before
most people were even aware of it. What are you concerned about today that
you don't think Americans or the world is paying enough attention to?

music:
--What do you think of most fondly about the days of cassettes?
--Can you set the record straight, what was your first gig as the Beastie
Boys?
--How do you think your career would be if you were starting out in today's
world vs. that of the late 70s/early 80s? Are there things you could do now
that you couldn't do then? Are there things you could do then that you
can't do now (like Paul's Boutique)?
--What effect does it have on you to know how many lives you've affected,
influenced and changed with your music and life? Do you have moments where
you reckon with that or feel particularly aware of it?
--What's one way you've influenced culture that you're proud of and one way
you wouldn't mind taking back?
--You've mentioned that when Chuck D started getting heard the genre shifted
to being about making people be aware of the oppression of black people.
How do you feel about where rap has gone today and about where race issues
are in America?
--What's been your best show in the last 5 years?

VIEWER QUESTIONS:
--VIDEO QUESTION FROM
Shannon/14/Burleson, Texas
Steve-Onpoint / 26 / Philadelphia
Allan Baldwin / 37 / L5P ATL

Bill Swensen, 42, USA
Will there ever be another Nathanial Hörnblowér film? Has he retired?
Hörnblowér took offense to the New York Times review of the CHECK IT OUT
video. Are you as sensitive to reviews as Hörnblowér?

Shelby/15/Ontario, Canada
A Day In The Life Of Nathanial Hornblower is one of the most entertaining
short films I have ever seen, and I think David Cross did a great job. What
made you choose him to portray Mr. Hornblower?
P.S. Thanks for putting me in AWESOME, that was a huge honor.

CMH, 30, England
I'd like to know, if you had the opportunity to remake a film, which one
would you choose and who would you cast in the lead roles?

Dana / 17 / Augusta, GA
What gets your creative juices flowing? Who/what inspires you? And can you
give us a lil sample of a rhyme from the new album y'all are working on?
Anything?

Captain_Nimoy
Have you guys ever rapped over Rihanna's 'Umbrella' instrumental, because I
know I have and shit's bangin?

Paul Jones:
What are some of the main changes you want to see if Barack Obama becomes
president?

Jillian Holguin, 24, El Paso,Texas
Have you, as a rock musician/ hip-hop artist, found it difficult to venture
into new territories like politics and film and be taken seriously by others
in the business? If so, what advice do you have for the underdogs that hope
to evolve in a similar direction?
