The Brouhaha is preempted for a special episode of Milkit Radio's Free For All, highlighting our favorite music of 2011.
NOTE: If you're a strict Beastie-purist who does not like to dabble in other types of music (i.e., pop), you may not enjoy this particular podcast. Regular episodes of The Brouhaha will return shortly.

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

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.)
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.)
Makin' some noise about the brand new Beastie Boys' single, "Make Some Noise" (with a special guest):
