A cheap and nasty Beastie Boys compilation was part of a three for a pound deal on my recent Missing Records foray.
Prior to that there was nothong on the shelves by the New York hip hop combo although I am pretty sure I had stuff by them on cassette many moons ago.
Of it's time ? Probably
Juvenile? Almost certainly.
But just the thing for a Friday night
Let's hear it for Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D
Aw, Mom, you're just jealous it's the Beastie Boys
Beastie Boys - No Sleep till Brooklyn
Beastie Boys -Fight For Your Right
When I was a young teen I loved the video for Fight For Your Right. Now my 13 year old digs its too. So, yes, juvenile. Nothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteBeastie Boys were one of those bands I missed out on. I knew of 'em obviously but looking back I can't exactly recall how/why it was I passed on them and yet embraced a dozen other bands emerging at the same time. I've had a long career of 'missing out' on bands. We all have - far too many bands/artists around at any one time for that not to happen. At various points we're getting drunk, working, falling in love, having families, burying parents etc. I often think (OK I sometimes think) that if I hosted a music blog I'd run a thread "Bands/Artists who passed me by". If I knew anybody who did I'd suggest it......
