Beastie Boys

The first time I experienced Beastie Boys live was at the Brixton Academy in London. They had just released their first album. They were throwing beer around and the whole venue was one big party. I remember I ended up in the VIP room, where we were drinking hard with Shane McGowan from the Pogues. I believe Matt Dillon was there, too. It was many years ago. This summer, I am gonna see Beastie Boys again. They are headlining this years Roskilde Festival.

Sean Lennon "Dead Meat" (U.S. single)

Alan McGhee has a good set of ears on his Scottish head. Discovering and working with bands like The Jesus & Mary Chain and Oasis makes a cool CV. I just checked one of his recent playlists and on top was this track by Sean Ono Lennon. I know Yoko Ono has a new record out and I know that Sean Lennon hangs out with The Beastie Boys, but what I didn't know was that this is possibly one the most amazing songs ever recorded. Oh, man this is beautiful. Buy immediately!

I have played this song 10 times in a row now. I am never gonna stop playing it. Never ever. God.

PS. This guy must be the coolest person on the planet. Very charming interview here.
