Oh man. This is sad news, the Beastie Boys were such a big part of my youth.

I was thinking about MCA last night.  I've always believed taking a Bodhisattva Vow is one of the most beautiful, selfless acts a Buddhist can take on, and I hope that in the end he was able to reach enlightenment and usher many people toward a better way to be in the world.

I liked the Beastie Boys even though I rarely enjoyed their music.

Now I am one of those bandwagon people, because for many years I have not liked the beastie boys. After a night of brass monkeys and blasting them in our apartment, I am a fan.

Beasties have a huge pile of great shit, so enjoy digging in if that's the direction you go. I've spent the evening drinking and watching Seau stuff on the sports channels, so I probably did not have as much fun as you did. (Plus the missus is sick so we didn't go to a show where I would have had the first meeting with an "interested party" but whatevs.)

It might be because I am super bored, but this is like the saddest celebrity death for me, since Johnny Cash certainly, but probably ever.  He was the person who I have listened to most who has died, except for Sparklehoss dude, but he killed himself and it seemed like his life was pretty sad, so that is a bit different?

Anyways, yeah, I'm sad and shit.  The Beastie Boys I dug early because they had at least two rhymes about Bob Dylan on Paul's Boutique.  So, the 15-17 y.o. Keith who only really cared about Dylan let the Beastie Boys into my life.  Also, they had a rhyme about Kerouac on that album that I thought was cool as fuck.

Know alota def girls that would do anything
A lot of parents like to think I'm a villain
I'm just chillin' like Bob Dylan
I smoke cheeba it helps me with my brain
I might be a little dusted but I'm not insane
People come up to me and they try to talk shit man
I've been making records since you were sucking on your mother's dick



Cause I'm running things like some Mack motherfucker
Your only claim to fame is you're a false fake sucker
You slip you slack you clock me you lack
While I'm reading on the road by my man Jack Kerouac
Poetry in motion coconut lotion


I always thought he said poetry in motion, tokin up lotion.  I still think he does.

I was never a huge Beastie Boys fan, though I've always loved Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head. One of my friends used to listen to Licensed to Ill all the time and I found a lot of that album a little irritating. But when he started playing Paul's Boutique I was sold. And as another huge teenage Dylan fan I was floored when I heard them sample him on Check Your Head. Who else in hip hop has sampled Bob Dylan? And yeah, that chillin' like Bob Dylan line was rad.

I am a huge Beastie Boys fan who only listens to/likes Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head.  And that song with q-tip on Ill Communication.  Phone is ringing, oh my god!  Anyways, yeah, sometimes I say I am a huge fan of a band, but what I mean is I like one or two albums.  Like, I would be all I love Ty Segall, but what I really mean is I love Ty Segall- Melted.  The Beastie Boys have two albums I consider awesome, which puts them above most bands I would say are awesome/I love/whatever.  Oh, also, that instrumental that is Check Your Head and Ill Communication stuff/style is fuck*ng sick.  In Sound from Way Out or somesuch.

I had a private MCA memorial run this morning.  It was good.  Inev, the Sounds of Science Anthology is really good, if you're band wagon jumping that's a good entry point for a nice mix of the classics as well as some fun weird stuff too.  Kinda sad that the cover has them all dressed up as old men hanging out...

"The Mix Up" is a pretty fun album.

It's okay to jump on bandwagons. What's douchy is to pretend you were a fan all along.
