Three MC's and One DJ

We be gettin' down with no delay!

Just got back from the Beastie Boys show at Central Park Summerstage. So, how could I not post some Beasties?? Below are a bunch of the band's television performances over the last 20 years. They always manage to keep their shows just a little extra special...

"Intergalactic", performed at Wembley Stadium as part of the Live Earth festival, on July 7th, 2007.


"Three MC's and One DJ" & "So Whatcha Want", live on The Late Show with David Letterman, on February 8th, 2006, while promoting their film Amesome! I Fucking Shot That! Features footage shot by cast and audience members.


"Ch-Ch-Check It Out", live on The Late Show with David Letterman and the streets of Manhattan in 2004. This is probably one of the coolest musical performances ever on the Letterman show, and is a clear favorite for fans.


"Sabotage/Radio Radio", performed with Elvis Costello on lead vocals for the Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary Special, on September 26th, 1999.


"Sure Shot", from the December 10th, 1994 episode of Saturday Night Live. (Listen carefully - Adrock says "fuck" on live TV.)


"Flute Loop", "Heart Attack Man" & "Sabotage", live at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 1994.


"Live at PJs", on Late Night with David Letterman in 1992.


"Fight for Your Right", live on The Late Show with Joan Rivers in 1987.


"Fight for Your Right", live on Japanese TV in 1987, complete with rude behavior, tons of profanity and some mild sexual content. I would love to know what the Japanese hosts were saying about this.


And as a special bonus, here's an actual half-hour cable access infomercial, produced by the Beastie Boys and aired nationally, before the release of Hello Nasty in 1998.

Letterman Interviews Michael Moore

Click to view video.

I just finished watching a bootleg copy of Moore's new film Sicko. I would love to link to it, but I don't want it to get taken down just yet. I STRONGLY advise you to seek it out, though.

The film is fantastic! I laughed. I bawled my eyes out. And now I want to storm the Capitol. When you see the film, you'll want to join me.

I don't want to spoil anything for you, so I will just say that it could very well be Michael Moore's best work ever.

YOU (and everybody you know) NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!

Andy Kaufman - "Rosemarie"

Performed live on Late Night with David Letterman in 1983.

Jill Scott - Bow Down, Bitches!!!

Today we've got an extended tribute to the strongest voice in all of modern music: Jill Scott! There is no one performing today who can come close. She defies classification, mastering every genre she touches. She is at once an operatic diva, a soulful R&B crooner, a slam poet, and a jazz virtuoso. Her vocals are so flawless they are completely impossible. And that says nothing of her superb songwriting... Ms. Scott will undoubtedly go down in musical history alongside the greatest of all time.

She is her most brilliant when she performs live, so, sit back, relax and enjoy the genius of Jill Scott.
