I missed the story from last month that he wouldn't be able to attend the RRHOF induction, which I guess would've at least been a strong indicator that something like this was around the corner. As it is, though, I feel like I've been slapped with a flounder.

Love those interviews - there's one with Mike D too. Great that they pay homage to him (prompted by Fricke) by telling these little specific stories about tracks. It's easy to slip into the broad sweep when you're summing up a life but reading about something geeky, like how he made the beat for Paul Revere is so much more powerful to me.

The No Dogs in Space podcast deep dive into the Beasties is very good, particularly good at illustrating how they happened to be in just the right spot to leverage the tenuous connections between the 80s punk and hiphop scenes. They don't emphasize it, but it really struck me as ironic that their dj gear was funded by a settlement with British Airways after a advert used a Yauch bassline without authorization, then six years later, Paul's Boutique.
― bendy, Thursday, 5 May 2022 15:17 (three years ago)
Yeah, it's pretty bonkers that they happened to see that ad and were able to get some money out of it.

― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 5 May 2022 15:59 (three years ago)
IIRC they had released it on a 12-inch at that point. Going from memory, I think "Beastie Revolution" was the B-side of "Cookie Puss".

― peace, man, Thursday, 5 May 2022 16:08 (three years ago)
^great find!
I might be conflating this with another story from the book, but I believe Adrock says that he took some of that money to a shop intending to buy a guitar, changed his mind on the spot, and walked out with a Roland TR-808 drum machine instead. And that ended up being the drum machine he used to program the beat for "I Need a Beat" by LL Cool J, the first release on Def Jam.
― JRN, Thursday, 5 May 2022 16:14 (three years ago)
Nice! Thanks peace, man, that was an amazing find. I don't want to bestow too much credit, but given the chain of events that was set off by that settlement money, that ad man really did the world a solid.
