With the recent announcement that MCA from the Beastie Boys has been diagnosed with a very treatable form of cancer, I thought it would be a good time to revisit these hip/hop hardcore kids."What? Hardcore kids? silverunity, what the fuck are you smoking?"Yes dear readers, when they're not fighting for their right to party, and not suffering from mass amounts of insomnia before they just so
TRUE ROO: BONNAROO Friday (June 12, 2009)Think about your two absolute favorite bands. OK, now, how did these two bands happen to enter your musical life? For me, one of my favorite bands happened because some people who had the power to influence me told me to start listening to that band, so I did. For my other favorite, I stumbled into one of their shows completely by accident and was hooked...

Divided by three that's, what...about $62 per day. $62 is not bad considering a normal ticket to a major venue that would host a major act like the Beastie Boys (tickets to the trio's September 24th Hollywood Bowl show range from $25 to $125), Pearl Jam or Dave Matthews would be about the same pri...
