Talkin’ to Marcus Thompson, the man who not only founded Timex Social Club (former Beastie Boys tour-mates), but wrote the book on them:

On The Road With Z-Trip, Ep. 20

thebrouhaha — Wed, 04 May 2011 04:32:46 +0000

Many thanks to Michael Love (Beastiemania) for serving us up an interview with DJ Z-Trip. And many thanks to Z-Trip for guiding us through his new Beasite Boys Megamix while driving on the highway in San Diego (worry not, Z-Trip was rockin’ the bluetooth).

(Below: What’s the perk of having both a Beastie Boys and Z-Trip tattoo on your left arm? Getting to be the cover boy for Z-Trip’s new Beasite Boys Megamix, duh.)

Hot Sauce Commentary, Ep. 19

thebrouhaha — Tue, 03 May 2011 12:00:01 +0000

Jim (left) and Prof D (right) form their own committee to oversee the Hot Sauce Committee (which was finally, and triumphantly released today!):

(Above: This picture was taken in the mid-late ’90s when Jim claimed that he was an angel and Prof D the exact opposite.)

Release Days, Rodie & Mike Nishita, Ep. 18

thebrouhaha — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:55:23 +0000

Just as mysterious (and glorious) as a yeti-sighting, we track down Mike Nishita, brother of Keyboard Money Mark.

And later, it’s Jim’s turn to take the Twenty Questions quiz as Rodie plays master griller:

(Above: After scouring the internet, this rare photo from Beastiemania is the only one we could find of the elusive Mike Nishita.)

(Top: Hello Nasty release day in May of 1998. Bottom: TT5B release day in June of 2004.)

(Above: Cool beans, look at the souvenir Money Mark inherited from the Check Your Head era.)

Not a bad night, eh?

Start ‘Em Off Young

thebrouhaha — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:25:29 +0000

Imagine my excitement when I saw this at Border’s! Alas, this children’s book has nothing to do with the Beatie Boys, but you don’t have to tell your kids that. (If the Beastie Boys were pricks, I’m sure all they’d have to do is file a few papers with their lawyer to have this book taken off the shelf.)

Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame

thebrouhaha — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:18:51 +0000

I was at the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame this weekend, and this was the only Beastie artifact I came across: Mike D’s goggles and dish gloves from the “Intergalactic” video. (It looks like Mike’s gloves suffered some collateral damage from the robot/giant-space-squid fight.)

I also came across this: Chuck D’s original sketch for Public Enemy’s logo. Part of me thinks it would be cooler if it was just sitting in a junk drawer somewhere in Long Island.

Smack My Beach Up, Ep. 16

thebrouhaha — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:35:45 +0000

DJ Katanga drops by to talk about Beastie Boys party jams and why he’s still angry about the whole Prodigy/”Smack My Bitch Up” drama of the late ’90s.

Then, message board legend, Laver1969, flexes his B-Boy muscle and gives 20 Questions a whirl:

Awesome; I F’in Saw That!, Ep. 15

thebrouhaha — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:46:33 +0000

…and the thing is I didn’t even know I was going to see it (or who! I was going to see it with):

Sundance, Ep. 14

thebrouhaha — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 21:44:33 +0000

Milkit Entertainment sends their star reporter, Phammerz, to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah to give us details on the screening of Adam Yauch’s Fight For Your Right Revisited:

Viscious Rumors, Ep. 13

thebrouhaha — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 04:17:31 +0000

In our first podcast of 2011 we randomly weave between topics about Timex Social Club, the Beastie Boys’ brand new short film, working with Evan Bernard, and playin’ ball with Adam Y-A-U-C-H:

Happy Holiday Hip-Hop Cocktail Mix

thebrouhaha — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:40:52 +0000

Remember that scene in Christmas Vacation when Clark Griswold goes up into the attic and blows a bunch of dust off some old goodies? Think of this as the mix-tape equivalent of that. I’ve pieced together some old holiday remixes/snippets into a shiny, new holiday mix (regardless of what holiday you celebrate).

May it fill you with the joy of the holiday season (or let it mildly entertain you during a long, boring workday).

Lemme hear ya say ho-ho-HO!

Kid Rock & 3 Skinnee J’s, Ep. 12

thebrouhaha — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 01:10:06 +0000

On this episode of The Brouhaha, Kid Rock channels his inner Beastie; Jim (the first skinnee J) talks with Music Choice’s Justin Prager (the second skinnee J) about interning at Capitol Records, programming music videos for MTV, and prognosticating about the Beastie Boys’ new album, Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2; and John (the third skinnee J) tries his hand at “20 Questions.”

(left to right: Kid Rock’s under-appreciated, college-radio fav The Polyfuze Method; Kid Rock gracing the cover of Grand Royal, and Justin and Jim cold lampin’ with Flavor Flav—who unfortunately is not on this episode of The Brouhaha.)
