[Kid Presentable]

The inference that Mike is working on shit at 'the' labs is fucking great news. Regardless of accuracy or whether anything sees light of day, I just want dude to be able to create.

[Kid Presentable]

Augh and the correction! Mike is a current member of Beastie Boys indeed. Thanks for posting.

[silence7]

Mr. Diamond, who prefers not to give his age
:D

I love that they call him Mr. Diamond. He's earned that respect, but it's weird hearing him referred to formally like that.

[Brother McDuff]

(y)

[tt5brevisited]

Thanks.
Current member... cool.

[dirtydan11]

Thanks a lot for this one. This is why I'm checking the boards three or so times a day. Made my day, Ben!

[M|X|Y]

Current member

great to hear!(y)

[cj hood]

i thought they sold the O-lab equipment...

[Kid Presentable]

Nah the for sale shit got taken down. Unless they 'bought' it.

[fonky pizza]

C'est magnifique(y)

[Jiberish]

Fucking A. Great news.

[Yetra Flam]

I saw this, I also saw the fallout on twitter.

it is what it is...

[rhymesayer211]

People need to leave it alone. Who makes that much money and doesn't live well off?! They do a lot for charity and don't act like thugs. People need to fuck off!

[JoLovesMCA]

Yeah and he's using his wealth for charity and to feed the good people of new York at Rockaway food truck.

Dummies!

Love the article and want to see more from Mike D in the future! :)

Edit: Forgot to mention, his home really gives off that sunny surf vibe. Considering that he's so much into surfing and the beach these days i think it suits him. Really nice!

[Micodin]

I doubt Mike gives two fucks what some smarmy d-bag is saying on Twitter.

Or if he's aware of it.

[pm0ney]

The only thing I had a problem with was him refusing to say how old he is. That's something I could see Yauch or Adrock saying with pride, or even exaggerating the number. Embrace middle age, we're only passing through and all of us are getting older at the same time.

Other than that I loved the house, thought it was very well decorated and the people against the "new" New York should be happy kids can walk down the street by themselves for a pick up game of Bball. Thats progress.

[abbott]

nice

[Micodin]

The only thing I had a problem with was him refusing to say how old he is.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I don't know if that was embellishment by the writer or if it was a sore subject that Mike didn't want to discuss.

[Kid Presentable]

Or if it was a joke on Mike's part?

[JoLovesMCA]

Or if it was a joke on Mike's part?

You can google his age. I think it was a JOKE. :)

AND... I bet Mike was messing with the interviewer as any Beastie Boy WOULD!

:D

I love that they call him Mr. Diamond. He's earned that respect, but it's weird hearing him referred to formally like that.

The New York Times calls everyone "Mr." I don't know if it's true, but the story/joke was that back in the day they called Meatloaf "Mr. Loaf" once.

I still cringe at the idea of people having their homes photographed for the press and talking about their kids, but it's their choice and it's a lovely home.

The age thing seemed really odd to me because everyone knows how old they are. Maybe his wife didn't want to say and so he didn't either -- or maybe some of you are right and he was being funny on purpose. :)

[Mr. Juice]

As a group (and as individuals) that have always played everything so close to the vest--even in the age of social media--I was surprised that Mike D agreed to have his home photographed from top to bottom.

I would've been DELIGHTED if he allowed this to happen in the mid-90's.

[Lyman Zerga]

neat home

[Michelle*s_Farm]

neat home

Agreed, but where is his awesome LP collection? The studio or in
storage with the wine :)

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah I liked the sofa haha

[countrymikedj]

First line of that article made me think " Our evening began in Peter Sichel's comfortable study in his New York townhouse ..."

Inside Beastie Boy Mike D's Impeccably
Decorated Townhouse - 2012

http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/06/13/inside_beastie_boy_mike_ds_impeccably_decorated_to wnhouse.php

[Franci]

Remarkable house! (y)
However I'd feel quite intimidated by living in such a place, I'd be constantly worried to break or damage something :p :D

[Megalon X]

I felt better about being a liberal before Twitter.

[3stooges]

Call me an a-hole, but man....that place looks so uncomfortable. It's more of an art exhibit than it is a home. Putting visual aesthetic before functionality, practicality and comfort is just crazy to me.

I mean if I love art and design, and I had the funds, I would just get a separate space for that...an art studio space or whatever.

[Kid Presentable]

:rolleyes:

New Photo Of Mike D - 2013

Yeah, I had the same reaction. Their place - all due respect to Mike and Tammy D - just looks like they're trying too hard.

[Bernard Goetz]

And Yikes on that new pic. Although he doesn't look so bad in the other shots in that gallery.

[Michelle*s_Farm]

Yeah, I had the same reaction. Their place - all due respect to Mike and Tammy D - just looks like they're trying too hard.

Looked homey / comfortable to me -- to each his or her own.

[ClarenceAlabama]

I'm sure this was all Tammy D's idea. She decorated the house and wants to show it off. Mike is just being a good husband and going along for the ride.

[YoungRemy]

in that pic it it looks like Mike is performing there!

[beasties#1fan]

And Yikes on that new pic. Although he doesn't look so bad in the other shots in that gallery.

:eek::mad:

[Lyman Zerga]

he looks unhealthy, unhealthy as in too skinny

[tt5brevisited]

Mike on the mic and bust with the solo?

[pshabi]

he looks unhealthy, unhealthy as in too skinny

Beastielisters were sayin' that in '98 when HN dropped! Everyone come back here and post a pic of yourself when you're pushing 50 and we'll see how we look.

He looks better in the other pics from the event.....and he definitely "bust with the solo (http://www.beastieboysgallery.com/displayimage.php?album=634&pid=6030#top_display_media)." Damn, would love to see vid of that!

Dude was also in a damn dunk tank. Fuck y'all haters. :D

[abbott]

Fuck y'all haters. :D(y)

Living large and living well is how I see it.

[MrSmiley1]

"The reclaimed wood cabinets were made from surplus that the couple’s cabinetmaker had in his shop."

Please tell me the cabinetmaker was Keyboard Money Mark.

[JoLovesMCA]

I put more in the Beastie Gallery of Mike.
http://beastieboysgallery.com/thumbnails.php?album=634

He got DUNKED and then the headline said he was on the Mic but we don't know more than that. Oh well I think he looks great. He's been skinny for a minute now hasn't he?

Makes me think of Yauch teasing him about how a large shirt was extra large for him. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww happy times.. :/

[Sir SkratchaLot]

And Yikes on that new pic. Although he doesn't look so bad in the other shots in that gallery.

It's because he's flexing so hard on the mic in that shot. He also has the hair of a teenage boy.

Awesome pix, and I remember Yauch teasing him about that:p:rolleyes::o

[tt5brevisited]

He's just lean IMO, we're used to seeing obese people. If you eat right you'll lose all excess fat.
Beasties have great hair(lines) indeed lol, must've been one of the requirements for getting in the band, though Ad-rock's seems thinning and moving up in some recent pics.

[LuciferHam]

Nice house, the dudes got taste. Ain't flaunting no wealth.

Makes me happy to see the correction, still a member of the Beastie Boys :)
