With the year beginning to draw to a close, and with only a bare handful os Sundays left for 2012 Slaylists, this week we're turning out attention to those we've lost in 2012. We're talking about the bands that have either broken up or gone on hiatus, as well as the more serious subject of musicians who sadly died at some point over the last 12 months. The first half of this week's Sunday Spotify Slaylist are bands that fall into those first two categories - bands that either finally [...]

Adam Nathaniel Yauch (5 augustus 1964 – 4 mei 2012 ) Jongens worden mannen, mannen worden oude mannen, en oude mannen worden vroeger of later schimmen, herinneringen, slechts een achtergebleven beeld van de man die ze ooit waren. Het is al weer enige tijd geleden dat Adam Yauch, beter bekend als MCA, één van de drie Beastie Boys, ons achter liet omdat hij veel te snel een oude man geworden was die een gevecht aan moest gaan met een ziekte waar het moeilijk, en dus uiteindelijk niet, van te winnen was. De Beastie Boys [...]
Jonah Bromwich can't, he won't, and he don't stop. The combination of MCA’s death and my first summer in New York City has had me frequently listening to the Beastie Boys. Though I already was a bona fide Beastie stan through my teenage love of License to Ill , my college love for Paul’s Boutique , and last year’s love for Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 , I’ve been surprised by the realization that none of these albums demands constant rotation like Ill Communication . It’s not hard to [...]
"WHYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" Anyone who grew up in the 90's would tell you "Sabotage" is easily one of the defining music videos of the decade, whereby the Beastie Boys riff on '70s cop shows with an exa
As the one-time mayor of New York City, Abe Beame would like everyone to take a moment of silence. As a kid, Paul’s Boutique was my favorite record to zone out to. Even more so than the Wu-Tang Multiverse, B.I.G. or Nas and Jay’s debuts, it's an ALBUM in the classic sense. It remains one of the most unique and distinct experiences in the canon. And of all its fun and innovative moments, my favorite was always “Year and a Day,” the MCA showcase mid-way through “B-Boy Bouillabaisse” - the incredible 9 song suite [...]
Does Doc Zeus not bleed? I admire Adam Yauch. As a diehard hip hop fan and a child of the 1990s, that might seem exceedingly obvious to say. But beyond the superficial of simply “liking” his music, Adam Yauch was an extraordinary human being. Beyond his accomplishments in music and film, his character was of the highest caliber and it's a tragedy beyond writing a few eulogistic words that he was ripped away from the rest of us at the sickeningly young age of 47. He deserved better. Far better. For a [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Phil Andelman Since Friday (May 4), when beloved Beastie Boys rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch died in New York City following a courageous three-year cancer fight, fans and admirers ranging from the Dalai Lama to the Mets have been lining up to pay their respects. All the while, his bandmates kept mum, but last night, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz broke his silence and [...]
Photo by G. RIP MCA on the marquee of Madison Square Garden I am a huge Beastie Boys fan, so naturally I have been really sad about the death of MCA (Adam Yauch), but seeing this on the marquee of Madison Square Garden in New York really brought it home, and it made me cry! RIP Adam! Thank you so much for all the great music that has and will forever rock my world! [...]
I was a self-censored kid. Permanently unpopular through most of high school I dabbled in a mix of naive romanticism and some sort of Puritanism which American schools give rise to to keep kids from going insane from being permanently unpopular. So it's with little surprise that around my 12th birthday when my parents handed me two cassette tapes, Gloria Estefan's Greatest Hits and Pearl Jam Ten, that I popped in the former and had to literally wear it out before I took up the other tape and my life was changed forever. [...]
“ It feels good to play a little music / Tears running down my face 'cause I love to do it ” Adam Yauch - "Root Down" Beastie Boys - "I Don't Know" Adam Yauch who lost his three year battle with Salivary Gland cancer on Friday (4th May) certainly crammed a lot of life into his all too short 47 years. A Buddist, Tibet freedom campaigner and concert organiser, film distributor, director, magazine [...]
Beastie Boys No Sleep Till Brooklyn THEE video that made my week. #RIPMCA Moving to NY has never felt so right…
As you'll no doubt have heard by now, on Friday 04 May 2012, Adam Yauch - aka MCA - from the Beastie Boys , died after losing his battle against cancer of the parotid salivary gland . He was just 47 years old. To mark this sad occasion, for this week's Sunday Spotify Slaylist we're looking back at the Beastie Boys' early, pre-hip hop punk rock material. While it's true that the Beastie Boys didn't find mainstream success until their game-changing Licensed To Ill , the band never forgot their punk [...]
If you don’t connect with the Beastie Boy’s albums, you fall under one of two categories: 1. You are one of those people who proclaims loudly that you are in search of “high art,” while secretly you crank the volume when “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” comes on the radio. 2. You have no sense of rhythm whatsoever and words such as “inappropriate” escape your mouth on a regular basis. The Beastie’s music doesn’t need to sacrifice fun to make art and doesn’t need to sacrifice art to make fun. Now that this seemingly lighthearted, simple notion comes [...]
As we all know by now, Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away yesterday at the age of 47. I'm working on a piece for next week, but I wanted to share this video that features the group's entire set from a 1999 concert in Glasgow. Enjoy. R.I.P. MCA.
when i was 12, which was in 1986, my mother surprisingly let me purchase the beastie boys' licensed to ill . it might even been with my own money?!? who knows? but to say that record was a musical awakening would be a huge understatement. sure, i was 12 and didnt get all the references, or really couldnt relate to much of what they were talking about, but musically it changed my course of direction. over the course the three years tween licensed and pauls boutique i believe i re-bought the tape, but eventually got on that glowing disc. [...]
They always say that the good ones die young. Emotions make us human and I always kind of giggled when I would see people expressing any type of emotion when a musician/celebrity would pass; very much in the same way the world collectively gasped upon the news of the passing of Princess Di. I'm not getting any younger and I'm constantly reminded of that when the news of the music world as you knew it starts to fade before your eyes. The first time I felt a sense of loss was the death of [...]
I was greatly saddened to discover that legendary Beastie Boy and all round nice guy Adam Yauch, aka MCA, lost his fight to cancer yesterday. As a youngster I experienced a musical eureka moment when, on the back of that legendary 'Sabotage' video, I spent all my saved pocket money to buy not just on [...]
