Widespread Panic back in the studio!

Wednesday, May 23, 2007

My friend Coy Bowles has a band that some of you may have heard about. Coy Bowles and the Fellowship play frequently here in Atlanta. Adam Knight the guitarist of [golden] introduced me to Coy a few years ago, and since that time I have seen Coy play several times, both with his current band and with Adam Knight. I have included a recent interview with Coy and his band.

I'm really excited about this!!! The Beastie Boys, realizing that they are now a little old to jump around on stage and rap, have decided to return to their glory days of instrumental jams (see Check your Head and In Sound From Way Out). Apparently they have a new album coming out this June and will be touring this summer although primarily in Europe. Some of these shows will be completely instrumental. Check out the album information and two new videos below.

"The Mix-Up

BEASTIE BOYS GO INSTRUMENTAL, AGAIN

The Mix-Up

All-Instrumental Album Out June 26

Mike "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz have confirmed a June 26 release date for their seventh studio album, The Mix-Up, on Capitol Records.

The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.

Beastie Boys will kick off a summer's worth of worldwide touring May 26 & 27 with two sets at the Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge in Washington State. The band will be playing at several European festivals throughout June and July, including Live Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7.

The complete track listing for The Mix-Up is:

1. B For My Name
2. 14th St. Break
3. Suco De Tangerina
4. The Gala Event
5. Electric Worm
6. Freaky Hijiki
7. Off The Grid
8. The Rat Cage
9. The Melee
10. Dramastically Different *
11. The Cousin Of Death
12. The Kangaroo Rat

* Yes "Dramastically" is intentional."

It's always puzzled me how white kids from the suburbs love to flash gang signs. If you have ever noticed these white kids flashing these signs then you will like this video.

On the road to great things

I find it funny that many of these advanced Biotech companies have to setup shop outside the U.S. due to our "moral" laws regarding stem cells and research. Anyhow, Emory is associated with another great discovery!

With all this talk about Hip-Hop lately, I thought this was suitable.
