Ad-Rock Says James Murphy Broke His Refrigerator →
Last week, at a screening of Frances Ha, we tried to get Ad-Rock talking about the Beastie Boys memoir he’s writing with Mike D. We got a little bit on that front, but were mostly just treated to his random thoughts on Sting, James Murphy, and The Face magazine. Here, a slightly condensed version of our conversation, including commentary from his lifelong friend, actress, and “Fight...

That history, of course, contains the times where Hanna literally markered the word “SLUT” across her bare midriff, which was part of a “character I was playing. I was a feminist performance artist first. So it was a seven year performance piece,” she says, smiling, referring to her shocking and inspired stint fronting Bikini Kill. Conclusion: “It’s really...

I have something I want to share with yall. When I was at my local comic book store for Free Comic Book Day one of the guys that worked there noticed my PWR2MCA shirt and asked what it stood for. When I told him he then told me about the time he saw them in concert with his friend who had cerebral palsy. They were right on the stage and afterwards Mike D gave his friend his towel and when his...

“Seeing Marty Markowitz rap – it was great, but not as great as Adam’s parents rapping at Adam and Dechen’s wedding. If you were at the wedding, you know that was pretty great. “I want to thank first the fine people for everything today, everybody from the Parks Department, Adrian Benepe, John Silva, Frances Yauch, Steve Martin; but most of all I want to thank my sister...

Some of you might spend it at MCA Day in NYC or in LA, Chicago, or San Antonio.
Some of you might spend it volunteering keeping the spirit of PWR2MCA alive.
Some of you might spend it at your local comic book store for free comic book day proudly wearing a Beastie Boys t shirt (Like I’ll be doing)
Some of you might spend it with family...
HSCP2 Personal Reaction
Two years ago on May 3 2011 my life was changed forever because on that day I bought my first Beastie Boys album. I picked up HSCP2 and when the checker saw she said “Beastie Boys? Is that like a band or something?” to which I replied “Kind of yeah.” And I walked away stunned and feeling sorry for this person who didn’t know of the gift to the world that is...
HSCP2 Track by Track
For those of you that are new to this site This is where I listen to a Beastie Boys album and write what I think of each song as I’m listening to it. Enjoy!
Make Some Noise: The absolute summer anthem and life anthem. Party for your right to fight.
Favorite Lyric: “We got a party on the left a party on the right you gotta party for your motherfuckin right to fight”

HSCP2 Review
Two years ago on May 3 2011 HSCP2 was released. I’m not going to do a lot of fancy analyzing of this album. I’m just going to say this was a highly anticipated album. The expectations rose even higher and they were met. It’s familiar but at the same time highly experimental, doing things that no other hip hop album with mass appeal was doing at that time see “Say...

And for those who came to this film to see the birth of Riot Grrrl, it’s all there too. The Punk Singer features amazing footage of the making of the early Bikini Kill fanzines as well as the first Riot Grrrl meeting at Positive Force house (an activist space) in Arlington, Virginia, and gains amazing access to Hanna’s own story as she describes why she started demanding that girls come to the...

Beastie Boys On Being Stupid
coolaccidents:
via Ego Trip Mike D, Ad-Rock & MCA gave ABC News Radio one of their incomparable interviews back in 1985, filled with copious quotables (“We’re soul hardcore b-boy music. We do not play sucker music” & “There’s a way we talk and it includes profanity. We never figured we’d be arrested for it.”) and trademark sly humor, and which has now been converted into an enjoyable...

Do you have any advice for aspiring cabaret artists? BE: Write every day. Just a little something. If you say something funny, write it down. I keep a notepad. You never know when an idea is going to come. Also, karaoke bars are a great way to play around with different styles of singing. Some people think karaoke bars are sad, but I don’t. I was discovered at one.

Who, in your opinion, is the best rapper alive? BE: Well, that’s tough. I’d have to say Ad-Rock, followed closely by new-to-the-scene Champagne Jerry. Both blow it up!
