Remembering #AdamYauch aka #MCA of the #BeastieBoys, who would have been 59 today.

@thewildiscalling compared us to @beastieboys in their review of “What Time Is Nasty?” referring to ‘a drip of funky flavour.’

Our absolute all time favourite heckle (so far) we’ve had is “The Beastie Dads” and we make no secret of our total adoration of just about everything recorded by the Beastie Boys. There are a few homages scattered across our material. Skylight said Too Cool was “Old School Rap Attitude… like the Beastie Boys.”

#art #history: how has it been 11 years since nathanial blew his last horn? 'america's personal jewish gandhi', the inestimable adam yauch, was ripped away by cancer #otd in 2012 - but, o, didn't he leave a legacy of kindness & sick beats? i love that his will gave two last fingers up to consumerism with a stipulation that his music can never be used in adverts.

Remembering #AdamYauch from #TheBeastieBoys, on his death anniversary.

@historyofpunkrock Hells yeah! Didn't know, thx. Just imagining the #hardcore #punk energy in a live show with a #BadBrains song being covered by #Krishna #CroMags & #Buddhist MCA #AdamYauch.

Couldn't find a video of the above, but for those interested:
