pop


A brief visual foray into some likely familiar pop culture.

Part 1


A Chore - Amateur Best REMIX by Tom Vek









Part 2

In May the Beastie Boys came out with a new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2. I just got it and I have to say that its a solid Beatie Boys album, maybe even verging on classic. It's rough, raw sounding and manages to incorporate all of the things that made the Beastie Boys first four albums awesome. That said, there is nothing really new here, but that's just fine, as the Beastie Boys have a sweet original style and in the world of garbage pop and rap music, having the Beastie boys stay Beastie is actually pretty fucking great. So we get tracks like Long Burn the Fire styled after Pass the Mic and Jimmy James and Say It high-fiving Sabatoge.

So here is the interesting but mildly disappointing full length video promo starring basically everybody.

Click here if you don't have time for the 30 minute video.

And here is the pretty awesome Spike Jonze directed video for the reggae-tinged lead single Don't Play No Game I Can't Win, featuring Santigold.

(The sound sucks because of some fuck up, but if you live in North America, the B Boys put up a fixed version on their site)
