THE BROUHAHA: Beastie Boys Podcast

On The Road With Z-Trip, Ep. 20

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

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

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.)

Make Some Noise, Ep. 17

Makin' some noise about the brand new Beastie Boys' single, "Make Some Noise" (with a special guest): (Below: The Hose EP...inspiration for HSC, Pt. 2's artwork?)

Smack My Beach Up, Ep. 16

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

...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

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

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

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

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.)
