Beastie Boys - The Sounds Of Science

"Beastie Boys"

New Beastie Boys

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, a couple weeks ago I got a copy of To The 5 Boroughs, the new Beastie Boys album. It's not much of a growth for them, sounding a lot like their previous record Hello Nasty. Most of the songs are somewhat forgettable, but MCA gets props for the following rhyme in It Takes Time to Build:

We got a president we didn't elect,
The Kyoto Treaty he decided to neglect...

I never thought environmental treaties would make it into mainstream hip-hop songs, but the Beasties proved me wrong.

Bad Beastie Boys, Bad

Caveat Lector: Beastie Boys Evil

"It seems that Capitol Records has some sort of new copy protection system, that automatically, silently, installs 'helpful' copy protection software on MacOS and Windows as soon as you insert the CD into default systems. I’m not sure exactly what it does yet, but I am sure regreting actually purchasing said media now… they don’t deserve my money if they choose to pull stupid stunts like this. Installing software without your permission sounds like viral malware behaviour to me. I certainly hope the AV companies put signatures into their products for this crap." [Security Focus, via Furdlog]

Noted for when patrons complain that the CD they checked out from your library messed up their computer. Yeah, this is definitely the way for the music industry to win back already angry customers.

AP - The members of Beastie Boys are flashing liquor and cash while betting on a street-level parlor game — with a Jewish twist. Instead of a 40-ounce brew, Adrock throttles a bottle of Manischewitz wine. In lieu of dice, MCA tosses a dreidel as Mike D hangs back with a gold Kiddush cup. Moments later, MCA, the band's self-styled Kung Fu master, chops through a thick stack of matzo bread like Bruce Lee busting through three-ply mahogany.

We're sorry to inform the passengers of Flight 905 that the situation is FUBAR

So our plane's wing hit the wing of another plane on the ground, so we never left. I won't be back until late tomorrow, and I won't make my panel, or anything, at AlwaysOn. Regrets and apologies, folks. Major bummer.
And I don't have much more time than to thank Euan for the bluetooth/cellphone bridge that's making this post possible. And the fine company for one sleepy, grumpy passenger.

[Doc Searls]

Ouch - I hate it when my plane gets into an accident. I slept late today - so I'm gonna miss Rob Glaser's keybote. I'm sure he won't mind.

But then I'll get there in time to ask him about new business models in media. Oh boy.

Maybe we can talk about the time when Rob was still at Microsoft and he licensed the Director player - and then..... discovered our real strategy (cross-platform functionality) and never shipped the player with Windows 3.1.

It was supposed to be called .mmm.

The whole world would have had the Director player from Windows 3.1 on, but instead.... it never happened.
