Adam ‘MCA” Yauch: Music for geek and jock alike

This was music that the geek could appreciate. Here's a mashup of 'Root Down' and Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy's lovely 80s quirk, 'Kiss Me'. Download RIP Adam Yauch 1964-2012

It's harder to write about than it was to hear about it. Perhaps it's the recognition involved when discussing something so somber. MTV, where I first [...]

Addio ad Adam "MCA" Yauch dei Beastie Boys

May 4, 2012, 2:58pm soundsblog

Adam Nathaniel Yauch, conosciuto meglio con il nome d'arte di MCA, co-fondatore del trio hip-hop Beastie Boys , è morto nelle scorse ore. Yauch era malato di cancro dal 2009, ma nel momento in cui vi scriviamo non è ancora del tutto certo se la morte sia avvenuta per questa causa.
