AUDIO ABSINTHE Music – Videos – MP3s

A ton of really cool Beastie Boys-theme artwork by a bunch of different artists is being displayed and sold by Gallery 1988 (gallery1988@aol.com / (323) 937 – 7088).  Some of the pieces are pretty inexpensive while others are priced relatively high.  You can check it all out at the Beasite Boys blogspot page.

All over the internet, people are asking questions like, “What happened to the Beastie Boys?” and “Are the Beastie Boys still together?”  The Beastie Boys new, instrumental material is seriously getting slept on.  They’ve been coming up with some really rocking, funky, hip hop beats that are awesome and very satisfying.  It’s a serious departure from their older work and even still, it’s great.  The most recent album, The Mix Up would still be a great album even if it wasn’t released under the Beastie Boys name.  It’s a very cool instrumental album that Beastie Boys fans should know about.  I saw them perform at The Greek Theater back in 2007 after the album was released and they did both old and new material.  They put on an awesome show.  Check out one of my favorite tracks off of the album, it’s called “Off The Grid“.  

Ok, now back to the art…
