I don't know if anyone listens to the Stuff You Should Know podcast (it's awesome, you should), but on yesterday's one - 'What is a shotgun house?' - they had a listener mail about the Beastie Boys.

Stuff You Should Know

They read the mail at the end of the podcast, around the 20 minute mark.

The mail was about a girl who hung out with the Beastie Boys for a day during the License to Ill era, with stories about going to the Seven Eleven with Adrock and being kissed on the cheek by MCA.

The weird thing is, they recorded the podcast just before Yauch passed away...the timing is just a coincidence.
But the story is the same: Yauch was, and always has been a cool guy.

I was just thinking that maybe there should be one more Tibetan Freedom Concert in Yauch's memory, but then I thought that it couldn't happen, because a lot of the people who went went because of the band, so what if Adrock and Mike D don't want to continue the Beastie Boys?

There is a story about MCA in the new Rolling Stone. I am disappointed he didn't get the cover

We have a tv show here in australia called Rage that goes from midnightish to 6-7am on fri and sat nights, and it's just music videos. It's been going for decades, and a different band/artist hosts it every week and they pick the playlist. After just about every song it goes to the artist/s on the couch and they explain why they picked the next song.

The Beastie Boys hosted it in 1994 and 2007, and tonight Rage is playing both of their shows, its cool to see them sitting on the Rage couch at two different ages. MCA looks fucking suave in the 2007 one. It's playing right now, hopefully it will be available online. Do a search for ABC TV Rage.

That's bullshit but the cover may have all ready been set. Hopefully next month. Lesser musicians have gotten the cover after their death (I'm looking you, Kurt Cobain. And I love Nirvana).

That is bullshit. Wittney Houston a drug addatic who did nothing to help make this world better got more of a tribute.

MTV's "tribute" with Sway has the most half assed bullshit they have ever done.




Sorry just annoyed
