Bonus Friday five.
I got an email from my good friend Adam Yauch telling me about this movie that I need to go see. His email sparked a random Wikipedia series of events which brings you five things you might not know about the Beastie Boys, in no particular order:
- My boyfriend Adam Horovitz, who you probably know was married to Ione Skye for a few years, is now married to riot grrrl extraordinaire and former lead singer from Bikini Kill, Kathleen Hanna. (Damn.)
- The band is over 25 years old. (Damn!)
- The Dust Brothers sampled "So What'cha Want" on Beck's song "E-Pro." (I don't hear it, but whatever.)
- According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the Boys are credited with coining and popularizing the word "mullet."
- The band was the first to win Grammies in both rap and alternative categories in the same year.

OK, the email went to the entire web-based fanlist, but I know he had me in mind specifically when he sent it. I just know it.
You think the story's over but it's ready to BE-GIN!
ReplyDeleteAw yeah, you can't front on that. No sleep till Brooklyn.
ReplyDelete(Ironically, they played their first concert in Brooklyn only recently. That just seems wrong on so many levels.)
