What language is this?

And to think...someone with this much tact is a member of the TxSG. I hope I don't run into him in a time of need.

It's amazing how much an album or track can conjure up memories of ones youth. I was an impressionable 7 year old kid living in Queens when the Beastie Boys started coming up and it was fun to see them take off like a rocket when Licensed to Ill came out. Paul's Boutique is my *favorite* Beastie Boys album though. I'm sure I look goofy blasting it in my truck, decked out in camo, when I'm coming back from hunting.

Later on, as my musical tastes changed, I found myself really digging their instrumental stuff. The In Sound From Way Out never leaves my truck.

Alas, age.

Ha! Right there with you.

I'm sure only a small handful of us will know who this is, but Adam Yauch (aka MCA) was 1/3rd of the Beastie Boys. He passed away @ the age of 47 today after a battle with cancer.

Most people know their big radio hits and hip hop music, but the Beastie Boys were also accomplished musicians. Adam, and the rest of the Beasties, made quite an impression during their time.
