my girl likes franks not pork n beans
i'm gonna wax that girl right out them jeans

always loved this opening, hearing mca come in hot right from start. rest of track is meh but in a nostalgic good way. don't remember when i first heard but it was around the time i was really diggin for lost LTI era cuts like desperado, scenario, rock hard, beastie groove, etc. prob between '89-92. at the time i wanted more LTI sounds so bad i think i would have ranked i'm down much higher than what i think of it now. now i would be more excited for anything around the CYH/IC era's now since that really seems to be the apex of owning their lane. and maybe more from HSC time since horovitz said that felt like '94 again. i'm just not sure there's much left, so many good b-sides have officially been released from CYH/IC era i can't imagine there is much left above and beyond the stoner jams they've referenced a few times.

If we’re in the realms of fantasy, I’d also include The Scenario. And of course as much HSC-era unreleased material as possible.

Also: I watched the Anthology DVD from start to finish the other day. I’d say that has been an annual ritual for the past 18 years (not including the first 2 years of release where I basically consumed both discs weekly).

Anyway, I’ve always thought it was ahead of its time and damn, even if it came out today, it would be seen as a great release that fully utilises the format. The videos / music speaks for itself, but so many cool additional options That said, I like to play them without the supplements in the normal, in sequence feature as the 5.1 is so ridiculously good. It’s still the best audio for me for a number of tracks. Ahead of any remasters and vinyl since. Those DVDs through a good surround system - fuck, it blows me away every time.

It got me thinking how cool it would be to have every Beasties video released on an updated Criterion release in similar fashion. Never going to happen, and not sure how it could really without Yauch’s input, but one can dream. Also there is a shit tonne of videos when you think about it. Triple DVD anyone?

A few months ago they re-released all the videos online in HD.

I think that's closest we are going to get to your idea or them going further with the music videos.

I hope I am wrong though.

Not their best work, but it's still cool to hear new versions of songs from over 30 years ago.

I'm ready for more stuff from the vaults...

even though I enjoy FFYR as a song, and I understand THAT SONG is the reason Beastie Boys got to become Beastie Boys as we know them, ever since I heard I'M DOWN, Iv'e wished it had been on LTI instead of FFYR.

Whoa, I don't think I have ever heard this version before!

I have seen the title I'm Down (demo version) before
But just ignored the demo part thinking they were calling the song a demo not actually thinking it was a real demo and different version of I'm Down
