beastie book (spoilers)

[Micodin]

looks like some people on my ig feed have been getting their books today. the cover we’ve seen since day one is the real cover (not sure what the strombo guy was talking about). looks big. if peoples are getting them please share info and whatnot.

[cj hood]

the story about the answering machine message before Maestro is in there, but i thought that was already common knowledge...

[Brother McDuff]

the "look inside" feature on amazon reveals a good deal. had to stop myself. can tell right away its gonna be ill though, from the rare photos and chapter titles alone. very excited

Posted this in the other thread:

If you go to the link on the back of the book from the video they have a post with the Ad-Rock's Danceteria playlist: https://fabersocial.co.uk/2018/10/11...eria-playlist/

Also, if you're a huge geek like me and just can't wait for the book, you can adjust the speed of the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2de-Gu0ekmg
by going into the playback settings. This slows the flipping of the pages and you can pause it to read the table of contents and a bit of the book too!

My only problem is going to be skipping to 2007 to start learning new things, and also reading about the final years. I’m sure the whole thing will be an interesting read with their inimitable style, though.

[Brother McDuff]

one can imagine there will be plenty of new stimulating anecdotes to enjoy from pre-2007

[Kid Presentable]

Sabotage as a traditional rap song was a decent wrinkle to a well-known yarn, to be fair.

[brooklyndust]

going to compile more spoilers here from other threads, just to keep it organized.

an excerpt of a chapter about Paul's Boutique: http://www.vulture.com/2018/10/excer...-horovitz.html

And also as Brother Mc D mentioned Amazon's inside look: https://www.amazon.ca/Beastie-Boys-B...stie+boys+book

For the record the Guardian / Observer excerpt posted above is fucking excellent.

Hard to complain with such a list that goes above and beyond but, in addition to Hurra, I find Mario C’s absence glaring.

Thanks for posting this, a great teaser. I'm freaking out this is going to be so awesome. Also pretty teary eyed listening to that. Can't wait for Tuesday, heading to Brooklyn from Toronto. Psyched!

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I meant teared up, not tested up.

[Brass Monk]

Great to see that audiobook list of contributors.
Not sure why Amy poehler has been the headlining contributor when there are so many more relevant and appropriate contributors than her .

[Kid Presentable]

Got the audio book. Thoroughly enjoying it.

cbs this morning

[abbott]

its been fun hearing and seeing so much,

Leaning a few things. Guess I did not know it all

[paulb]

Im impatiently waiting for the KingsRoad merch official bboys store preorder to eventually come. I should have just walked in to a book store, I was hoping it would arrive the day the book came out. Also the book costs 32.00 on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and the official store is 49.99, does that seem right?

[BBboy20]

Do I just read it or actually listen to it?
