Beastie Boys, Tribeca, Manhattan, photo by Jess
So I was watching the new Beastie Boys video for Ch-Check It Out (it’s HOT!, View it here) and I IMed Eric to tell him that it was filmed in the neighborhood of our New York office, where he works, and that part of it was at Sosa Borella, a restaurant where we used to order from frequently. Sosa Borella is also where The Water Incident happened. He IMs me back “I just saw the Beastie Boys right in front of the building. They were shooting between the median. I just came back up here to get a digital camera.” Holy crap! Jess sent me this photo she took of them on a sidestreet near where 508 used to be. I’m so jealous. I’ve listened to Ch-Check It Out about 100 times in the past few days. I &hearts the Beastie Boys.

Ch-Check-Ch-Check It Out.
I am a huge BBoys fan… and while I like the first single off their new album, it’s hardly Intergallactic, Sure Shot or Pass the Mic. Curious what other fans have thought of it.

i’ll agree with you there jason. while not the same, it’s still better than nothing, no?

Definitely better than nothing, Tien. You know how it is, we have expectations based on the existing material we already know so well. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the new album as a whole, looking forward to hearing it all.
“Full clout y’all!”

I sat at the same table they are sitting at like a week earlier. I almost swooned when I saw the video. My roommate said I should’ve licked the seat.
