It's the most fitting tribute you can do to a music icon, who helped innovate a genre, reinvent a culture and bring a legacy to music which will never, ever be forgotten.
Adam "MCA" Yauch (1964-2012) Hey folks, as I'm sure you've heard by now Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away on Friday of last week at the age of 47. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news, 47 is just too damn young, no matter who you are. Though I hadn't been a fervent fan throughout their career, I've enjoyed the Beastie's music and I respect their accomplishments as a band. I certainly remember the dawning of MTV and what a huge impact "Fight For [...]

As someone who grew up with the Beastie Boys constantly playing on MTV, the group was one of few who left an indelible mark on my listening habits over the years. Growing up in Kentucky where the genre of choice was largely country music, the Beastie Boys essentially served as my transition in to real hip-hop. Ad Rock was the wild, party guy and Mike D always seemed like the more intelligent, laid-back member of the group, but MCA was just cool. He was always so confident in himself, giving off this energy that he was who he was and [...]

When I heard this morning that Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys had succumbed to cancer, it hit me hard. I didn't expect it, and I was surprised by my reaction. At first. There were the obvious reasons-Yauch was only 47, too young to die, and yet another reminder of our own mortality. Then there was the fact that it was cancer, a horribly ugly disease that the National Cancer Institute projects will claim the lives of more than 575,000 Americans in 2012. The more I thought about it-and, of course began to play Beasties songs [...]

In July 2009, Yauch revealed he had a cancerous tumor in his left parotid gland and began undergoing radiation therapy.

It brings me great pleasure to blog about this particular Orlando DJ; This one goes against the grain.

The first big event of the 2008 election season was held last night, the Iowa caucus . Given that I'm a bit of a politics nut, I decided to take a look around at all of the candidates last night to find out more about their taste in music. The search proved a bit fruitless, but then, as the results started to pour in, it struck me - perhaps EAR FARM could pick some songs for each of the candidates, based upon their Iowa caucus results. So that's exactly what we did. Is that stupid? Fine, go away! Does [...]
