Beastie Boys’ MCA “feeling healthy”

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch is on the mend.

After discovering a cancerous tumor in his left salivary gland back in July, Yauch sent an email to fans today saying that he’s “feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that i’ve beaten this thing.”

Some time in India where he studied with the Dalai Lama, began some Tibetan medical treatment and restricted himself to a vegan/organic diet seems to have done the trick.

As for that new Beasties album we’re all waiting for, he said “we have not set a new release date for the record yet, but i’m hoping it’ll be in the first half of next year.” (Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 was originally scheduled for release on September 15th.)

News for Monday: Bad News (Bears) Edition

Monday, July 20th, 2009

* A cancerous tumour has been discovered in the salivary gland of Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch. Extra bad news: the tour is being cancelled and the Hot Sauce Committee album is being postponed! What is this, unintentional self-Sabotage?

* Ex-O.C cutie Misha Barton is still hospitalized, and missing the premiere of her new flick, The Homecoming. Maybe she got sick of appearing in movies nobody saw since leaving television…

* Rumour has it that Rihanna will be joined by All-American Rejects vocalist Tyson Ritter on her upcoming Rated R album. That’s probably just as weird as Keane working with Kanye West.

* Kings of Leon have announced that they will be playing a FREE show in New York City! Time to hatch an evil plan to find a way to get passes…

* Aaaand, Michael Jackson is continuously in the news because of a film made of footage from rehearsals for his London concerts, set to be released at some mysterious future time. Aren’t you excited?

News for Tuesday: The Merch Booth Edition

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

* If you, like so many others, can’t get enough Kanye West, why not pick up his new book of Kanye-isms? It’s even designed for “people who are non-readers”. How considerate!

* And since you’re out at the store anyway, can you pick me up a Weezer Snuggie, I mean a Wuggie?

* Sure to go down in musical history, the Beastie Boys have named their new upcoming album Hot Sauce Committee. With a name like that, how could it not be good?

* Check out this picture of Speidi doing some python-wrestling. I think the snake is probably more afraid than they are!

* Finally, rapper T.I married his long-time fiancee this weekend - just before starting his year-long prison sentence. Adorable, or convenient timing?
