I woke to the very sad news today that Adam Yauch aka MCA from the Beastie Boys had lost his battle with cancer. As many of you who would check this page would probably realize I am a music lover across many genres but hip hop is my first love, and the Beastie Boys were a huge influence on me when I was growing up. I still count Pauls Boutique amongst my most valuable (not in monetary sense obviously, but something far more important) records, not only because it was the record i listened to the most when my parents broke up, but I still to this day think the Dust Brothers production on that record was so far ahead of its time its not funny. I really dont know what else to say at this point, so I offer you this 90 minute mix of beastie boys classics, remixes and rareties, mixed live and predominantly off of vinyl (except for Tristan Dee's great remix of An Open Letter To NYC available here Beastie Boys - An Open Letter To NYC - TD RMX by Tristan Dee) hope you enjoy

   very sad indeed; he had a good life and touched many other lives in a positive way. Thanks for this tribute mix bro; well done. His tragic death is more proof against the existence of orthodox conceptions of god; what kind of "omnibenevolent, omnipotent, omniscient, supreme creator" god would create/not eliminate sh.t like cancer? the word "god"should be understood as no more than a metaphor for love folks--and much love to MCA. Peace, Love, and Respect.
