THE BROUHAHA: Beastie Boys Podcast

Laver plays interviewer, Adrock shines on Top Chef, and 20 Questions returns: (above: Although Adrock appeared on Top Chef: Just Desserts, someone dropped the ball and failed to make him any chocolate fondue.)

Counting down the Best Live Beastie Boys Performances on National TV:

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). (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 Beasit...

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 rele...

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?)

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:

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

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:

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:

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 dur...

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 Ro...

Mike (aka beastienut), one of the staff-members of Beastiemania chats about the history and maintenance of the one of the greatest internet sites of our time. (Beastiemania is also looking for a talented, pro-bono graphics person to tweak the layout of their site.  If you think you're this person, freakin' reach out to them already!) P.S. This podcast was recorded mere hours before the Beastie Boy...

Beastie Boys Message Board legend, CJ Hood , takes a second away from his computer keyboard to chat with us about posts, threads, and getting into hot water while impatiently waiting for albums to drop.

On this episode we take a critical look at the Beastie Boys' biggest let-downs... (Years later Stone Cold Steve Austin would turn this gimmick into a career.)

How are we going to explain this one away?

Cey Adams agrees to let The Brouhaha invade his personal space...and boy do we...keeping him captive for over an hour (despite initially promising to only take 15-20 minutes of his time). To Beastie nerds everywhere, enjoy! (Many thanks to Danny Jung from the Beastie Museum for hooking us up with the correct cyber transmission digits.) Top Row: Cey in Brouhaha battle mode; his book DEFinition; and...

Beastie remixer and board member, Rodie, attempts to answer 20 B-Boy questions, a fan from France takes us into the inner circle, and a Beastie mix that will cool you down like a dip in the deep end... Turntable mats, watches; who else wants to use this picture?

With temperatures stuck in the 90's and no Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 release date in sight, we attempt to cure your summertime blues with a refreshing, thirst-quenching Beastie Boys mix. Pour yourself a glass of cream soda and enjoy! WARNING: If you're not caught up on Breaking Bad, some of the following samples may accidentally catch you up (oops).

What era was the Beasties' best?

"I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew." Taking a listen to the best Beastie Boys sports shout-outs with Channel 3's Andy Lacombe. WARNING: If you don't like sports, you won't like this episode (sorry).

Talkin' to one of the 50 peeps who can honestly say: Awesome I Shot That! (above:  Rob posing with MCA doing his best Sasquatch impersonation.)

What happens when two music video jockeys discuss their favorite Beastie Boys music videos? Find out now... (Moments after this picture was taken Steven Smith treated me to a BBQ dinner during a grueling SXSW schedule.  With my spirits boosted and my appetite tamed, I was able to march on and finish strong in Austin, TX.)

On the premiere episode of The Brouhaha: Prof D drops some k-knowledge (like Galileo dropped the orange) on what it takes to be one the world's top Beastie Boys memorabelia collectors. We also countdown the 10 best Beastie Boys B-sides of all time. Prof D (far left) talks about his massive Beastie memorabelia collection and what he did with this picture.
