Shadrach by the Beastie Boys, one of my favourite music videos ever. Hand painted, frame-by-frame, from a video of a live performance.

So What’cha Want (Soul Assasin Remix) by the Beastie Boys. The Beasties meet Cypress Hill for what has to be one of the best remixes ever.

Paul's Boutique Remastered for its 20th Birthday

Friday,
6th February 2009

Paul’s Boutique is easily my favourite album of the 1980s, and it’s right up there with my favourite albums of all time.

They’re selling a number of different packages, most of which include lossless downloads, but can also come with 180 gram vinyl, a t-shirt and a giant 8 foot poster.

Professor Booty by the Beastie Boys. Killer rhymes from Mike D:

You’ve got the boomin’ system but it’s blasting out doo-doo,
You think it’s chocolate milk but it’s watered down yoo-hoo

…and MCA:

So many wack M.C.s, you get the T.V. bozack,
Ain’t even gonna call out your names ‘cause you’re so wack,
But one big oaf whose faker than plastic,
A dictionary definition of the word spastic

Booty Groove, a mashup of Professor Booty and Groove Holmes from Beastie Boys’ Check Your Head album.

This mashup is the standout track from Doublecheck Your Head. Some of the other tracks are a little over-engineered, but this one hits the mark for me.

About Craig Anderson
