The Beastie Boys are back in time for Fall Fashion, or at least that’s according to a letter posted on their website.
“we know our website has been kinda sucky for a while now…well..actually you wouldn’t, or rather we wouldn’t know.. i mean… none of us, you or we, i mean us, have even really looked at it for a while. it’s been sort of just hung out there to dry. it was kinda depressing. the band “news” was old, tour dates were from i don’t even remember, gossip was boring to non-existant. BUT WE ARE BACK ! with a new site, new attitude, and a fresh crisp look for the fall season. a lot of clean lines and bold patterns. muted prints and wedge boots are out this season, break out the corduroy grunge is back. listen… we got all types of new and improved shit going down, geared to flip your wig and split your dome piece.”
News on tours and s**t are sure to follow, but along with the relaunch of their site, the Beastie Boys also revealed the tracklisting for The Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, which will be released in the spring of 2011 via Capitol Records. In some strange twist of fate, or something like that, The Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 will contain the 16 tracks originally slated for the Hot Sauce Committee Part 1, which has been scrapped and will contain all new tracks. What?
MCA said, “I know it’s weird and confusing, but at least we can say unequivocally that Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is coming out on time, which is more than I can say about Part 1, and really is all that matters in the end.” says Adam “MCA” Yauch. “We just kept working and working on various sequences for part 2, and after a year and half of spending days on end in the sequencing room trying out every possible combination, it finally became clear that this was the only way to make it work. Strange but true, the final sequence for Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 works best with all its songs replaced by the 16 tracks we originally had lined up in pretty much the same order we had them in for Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. So we’ve come full circle.”
