Since seeing Christopher Walken dance his ass off in a Fatboy Slim Music Video it would seem celebrity cameos can be just what a band needs to take their music video to the next level, and while some celebrities and music videos go together like Simon & Garfunkel, others go together more like Chinese food and chocolate pudding, but here at Critical Wave UK we've decided to list our ten all time favourite music video cameos. Perhaps you've seen some of them before, or maybe you never realised that it was that person in the video, either way [...]

Adam Yauch's passing was such a devastatingly huge loss to music industry, let alone his family and friends, and so we've selected a couple of items for you to enjoy today which is our small tribute to a massive talent. Back in 2007 the guys decided to leave the microphones in the studio cupboard and approach a purely instrumental album. The LP got them a Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Album and 'Off The Grid' is the stand-out track for me. Despite the absence of lyrics, you still get a undeniable feel and vibe of the Beastie [...]
Before my very first Homecoming Dance in 1999, two seniors at my school were killed in a car accident. I didn't know these kids at all, which made the grieving process a strange one. I remember how the din of the school's hallways was hushed the next day, I remember seeing friends huddled in in clumps outside the school crying or praying or both, and I remember being driven out to the country, out to the spot of the accident where a makeshift memorial had taken shape. Around the fateful tree lay bouquets of flowers, stuffed animals, some hand-written notes, [...]
MCA's 2011 Sundance short is a celebrity-packed homage to everything the Beastie Boys were about. Perhaps the question didn't need to be asked, but that doesn't mean the answer isn't worth a half-hour of your time. In 2011, the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch (who passed away from cancer on May 4 at age 47) premiered the 30-minute film Fight For Your Right Revisited, which shows what happens in the aftermath of their apartment-demolishing video for that epochal party anthem. In short, the Boys -- played by Seth Rogen, Danny McBride,...
You know those really crappy days when a piece of new just hits you hard in the bottom of your stomach, and you can only say "Fuck", and just tune out the rest of the world to deal with it? Today is one of those days. Adam Yauch , better known as MCA from the Beastie Boys , has passed away after losing the battle with cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2009. Fuck. This is one of those celebrity deaths that really hits close [...]
Adam Yauch , más conocido como MCA y miembro fundador del grupo neoyorquino Beastie Boys falleció hoy a los 47 años, luego de batallar contra un cáncer que le diagnosticaron en 2009. MCA fue bajista y vocalista en la banda, que se formó en 1981 y que ayudó a introducir el hip hop y el rap a grandes masas de público en todo el mundo fusionando elementos del rock, el punk y el hardcore. Yauch también fue conocido [...]
Every once in a while I meet someone who casually mentions that music videos are dead and I'm always shocked. Music videos have never been more alive and vibrant than they are now in the age of video democracy online. This post is a celebration of the creative spirit that fights every day to set great songs to even better visuals. You guys are my heroes. Watch the videos in a countdown stye playlist below or continue on to catch them embedded 1-by-1 with my woefully minimal commentary. [...]

15. Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part. 2 [ Amazon ] [ iTunes ] [ Insound ] After postponing Hot Sauce Committee Part One so that MCA could kick cancer in the ass, the Beastie Boys came back with a vengeance on their eighth studio album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. It has been a thrill and a priviledge to grow old with the Brooklyn trio and the boys certainly did [...]
A continuación les presento una compilación de canciones que no deberían de faltar en su reproductor de música. Les deseo muy buen mes y si tienen en mente asistir al Festival Internacional Cervantino no dejen de ver a Minilogue que se presenta el 22 de octubre a las 16:00 en "los Pastitos" y a Kid Koala que se presenta el 29 a las 20:00 en la Alhóndiga de Granaditas.I Look To You (Feat. Kimbra)
While the 1990’s could easily be declared the Beastie decade, it has been a relatively quiet decade between their premature anthology, The Sounds of Science, and their latest album, Hot Sauce Committee, Part Two. By the time To the 5 Boroughs saw the light of day (2004) only to be followed up by the all [...]
In the beginning, the Beastie Boys didn't rap, instead they played in a punk band with Kate Schellenbach, who would go on to be the drummer in the band Luscious Jackson. Here is an interesting three song set they played for the Scott & Gary Show on a public access cable in New York. The Beastie Boys changed direction, much to the chagrin of these two guys below, and in 1985 with producer Rick Rubin, they put out a 45 locally for the song "Rock Hard." The Beasties rapped over a sample of [...]
Filed under: News Jason Merritt, Getty Images Many people assumed, with the help of misleading reports in the press, that the Beastie Boys ' Adam Yauch (aka MCA) had fully recovered from cancer. After all, in 2009 when he first announced that he had been diagnosed with throat cancer, the group postponed all plans indefinitely, including pulling the then-planned release of 'Hot Sauce Committee Part One.' But periodic updates from the band's camp indicated [...]
Beastie Boys stopped by KCRW yesterday to rap with Jason Bentley from Morning Becomes Eclectic. You can hear them talk about getting a Tiffany medallion for their Grammy nominated single , "Too Many Rappers," and late comedian, Buddy Hackett. Make no mistake, there's no musical performance, however, the interview is worth the time for any Beastie Boys fan. Their album, "The Hot Sauce Committee, Pt Two," is out and you can watch the full length "Fight For Your Fight (Revisited)" video in all of it's glory below. [...]
Instead of posting actual music videos, I thought I would share some music-related videos that premiered over the month of April. Throughout April, the Beastie Boys released their 30 minute movie featuring a list of well-known celebrity cameos to promote their latest album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two which will be released on May 3rd. Then the surprising trailer of Revenge of the Synth that will be the sequel to The Electro Wars . And recently, Nardwuar interviewed Lil Wayne in Vancouver, that is a must watch.

Sí, señoras y señores, sí señoritas en edad de merecer, sí caballeros fanáticos del breakdancing y el hip-hop, sí parranderos con aire retro del Universo... ¡Ya se encuentra disponible el corto de Beastie Boys correspondiente al lanzamiento de su disco Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 !

El corto en cuestión, dirigido por Adam Yauch -- y escrito [...]
Brilliant new video from The Beastie Boys. Contains strong language.
Basically a really long video for 'Make Some Noise', it's the full length version of 'Fight For Your Right Revisited'. Featuring an allstar, cast the Beastie Boys of the future challenge the Beastie Boys of the past to a "super fresh old school dance off". Not quite Thriller, but probably better than Kanye's efforts. Your thoughts? Oh and here is 'Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win' with Santigold. It is like 'Shove It', but with the Beastie Boys instead of Spank Rock, and not really as good... but still pretty okay. MP3: [...]
