After the devastation left behind Hurricane Sandy, Mike D of the Beastie Boys thought he needed to play a role in the recovery. Along with restauranteur Robert McKinley, the two started Rockaway Plate Lunch, a food truck that has now served over 19,000 free meals. The truck keeps things healthy, as it serves the coastal neighborhood known as the Rockaways. Watch a video below about the great deed, and read more over at Rolling Stone .
Out of nowhere, Brainfeeder's Jeremiah Jae dropped a new project dedicated to (and remixing) the Beastie Boys . At first blush, I'm thinking to myself, "Do the Beasties really need to be remixed by anyone?" A quick "Probably note" crosses my mind until the zip file finishes downloading and I load it into my iTunes. Immediately, it's apparent that Jae's blunted, tripped-out approach to producing is a choice complement to the Beasties' brash, playful rhymes. It's snarling and psychedelic; it's lo-fi and off the wall; and it's altogether rad. You can download the project [...]
In an interesting cosmic coincidence, this week marks notable anniversaries for two of the more significant debut albums in the world of rock 'n' roll: 25 years ago yesterday, the Pixies released Surfer Rosa , while 50 years ago today, the Beatles released Please Please Me . Perhaps the most interesting thing about this is the contrast between the quality of the records — Surfer Rosa was a fully realized artistic vision, while Please Please Me only hinted [...]
Top Ten Current White Rappers Naturally Eminem is number one on any one with tinniest bit of senses list as the greatest ‘ White Rapper of All-time ’. Some would even go as far to label him the greatest overall rapper or the best lyricist of All-time. This list aims to bring attention to some of the other great/decent white rappers out their that are carving a piece out of the rap pie for themselves. Lists like these can often piss off some readers. These artists were chosen by a mixture of criteria: [...]

How the Beastie Boys Made Their Masterpiece : “Ninety-five percent of the record was sampled,” said Beastie studio whiz Mario Caldato Jr. in 2003. “They spent over $250,000 for sample clearances. The list of samples on the album is so long – they’re still getting sued over it.” Best quote ever!
Tracklist: 01. Genesis - I Can't Dance 02. Arrested Development - Mr. Wendel 03. Positive K - I Got A Man 04. Naughty By Nature - Hip Hop Hooray 05. Souls Of Mischiefe - 93 to Infinity 06. 2pac - I Get Around 07. Warren G - Regulate 08. Ice Cube - One Nation 09. Iam - Je Dans Le [...]
Nestled among a number of interesting hacks from this weekend's SF Music Hack Day 2013 was a combo of APIs from Twilio's cloud-based voice and messaging service and Topspin Media created by Project Daisy CEO Ian Rogers . The resulting "phone tree" lets you dial in for a musical recommendation or the option of messaging and hearing a track from either the Beastie Boys or Trent Reznor . But the biggest message I got, beyond certain marketing implications for Project Daisy, is that Twilio is a deeply underappreciated resource readily available to a still [...]
Just in case you didn't think there were enough 'original' ways to hear music, a new service called Twilio SMS has popped up to try to impress you. At the moment, Twilio SMS is offering downloads of two tracks: How to Destroy Angels' 'And the sky began to scream', from their upcoming album Welcome Oblivion , and an instrumental version of Beastie Boys' 'Shadrach', from the Paul's Boutique 8x7" Box Set. So how does it work? You dial (310) 299-8756, press two, and choose which artist you'd like to leave [...]

Just when you thought you've seen everything, along comes this: Trent Reznor and Beastie Boys have contributed exclusive music to a service called Twilio SMS, which streams the songs over the phone before sending a download link via text message. According to Twilio.com , the service was launched during Music Hack Day by Ian Rodgers, who is the CEO of the new music service Beats .

By now, most of you have had a chance to ingest the bleh lineup from the good folks over at Goldenvoice. I believe that we're too spoiled and expect the moon every year, that when marginal acts, i.e. Phoenix are put into headlining roles, we tend to kind of freak out. The reason being is that Phoenix belongs on the second line of the bill, not top. At least not yet. They've had ONE really good album, and some aight albums along the way. If they could've put together the Smiths, Rolling Stones, or even a [...]
![[MP3] Beastie Boys – Right Right Now Now (Manu El Chino Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4732361_lg.jpg)
Not a bad remix (although the vocal falls off beat a little in the second half which is a little jarring to listen to!)
South Africans JACK PAROW and P.H.FAT collaborate for the track 'Spring Moederfokker' and what accompanies it is a kind of insane video where very jumps around an institution filled with nurses eat hotdogs suggestively and men where too revealing clothes and oversize hats. Fronted by Die Antwoord collaborator Jack Parow 'Spring Moederfokker' is a track that appears built for a party environment which is at least partly thanks to the killer beat pulsating through the course of the [...]
As we reported last week , Gaspar Noé — the man responsible for the French films Enter the Void and, shudder, Irreversible — has directed the video for the rather excellent new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds single "We No Who U R." The video is rather restrained by Noé's standards, but it fits the song beautifully, and it got us thinking about other well-known directors who've moonlighted in making music videos. There have been plenty over the years, some triumphant, some rather less so — so here's a selection for your viewing delectation! Marvel, [...]
