R.I.P Adam Yauch (MCA)
Comments (0) | Friday, May 4, 2012
Adam Yauch (MCA) of the Beastie Boys lost his battle to cancer today at the age of 47. Far too young.
There has been an outpouring of love for Adam. We will continue that in a tribute of our own.
On May 10th at 6pm we will pay tribute to Adam and the Beastie Boys' music. You can listen right here or on wxav.com
The Beastie Boys are one of the groups that had brought hip-hop to a larger audience and their music continued to evolve throughout the years becoming more sophisticated. They pushed the boundaries and were true artists and true to themselves.
Adam Yauch was an influence to artists spreading across pretty much every genre in music. Adam's music has changed the world forever and more importantly he changed the world. He was heavily involved in the movement to free Tibet and helped found the Tibetan Freedom concerts.
Adam also directed a number of the Beastie Boys music videos under the name Nathaniel Hornblower.
Although he died young he accomplished more than most people do in a long lifetime.
The Beastie Boys posted this on their website:
It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam “MCA” Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Yauch taught himself to play bass in high school, forming a band for his 17th birthday party that would later become known the world over as Beastie Boys.
With fellow members Michael “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Adrock” Horovitz, Beastie Boys would go on to sell over 40 million records, release four #1 albums-including the first hip hop album ever to top the Billboard 200, the band’s 1986 debut full length, Licensed To Ill-win three Grammys, and the MTV Video Vanguard Lifetime Achievement award. Last month Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Diamond and Horovitz reading an acceptance speech on behalf of Yauch, who was unable to attend.
In addition to his hand in creating such historic Beastie Boys albums as Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty and more, Yauch was a founder of the Milarepa Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and activism regarding the injustices perpetrated on native Tibetans by Chinese occupational government and military forces. In 1996, Milarepa produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, which was attended by 100,000 people, making it the biggest benefit concert on U.S. soil since 1985’s Live Aid. The Tibetan Freedom Concert series would continue to stage some of the most significant benefit shows in the world for nearly a decade following in New York City, Washington DC, Tokyo, Sydney, Amsterdam, Taipei and other cities.
In the wake of September 11, 2001, Milarepa organized New Yorkers Against Violence, a benefit headlined by Beastie Boys at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, with net proceeds disbursed to the New York Women’s Foundation Disaster Relief Fund and the New York Association for New Americans (NYANA) September 11th Fund for New Americans-each chosen for their efforts on behalf of 9/11 victims least likely to receive help from other sources.
Under the alias of Nathanial Hörnblowér, Yauch directed iconic Beastie Boys videos including “So Whatcha Want,” “Intergalactic,” “Body Movin” and “Ch-Check It Out.” Under his own name, Yauch directed last year’s Fight For Your Right Revisited, an extended video for “Make Some Noise” from Beastie Boys’ Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, starring Elijah Wood, Danny McBride and Seth Rogen as the 1986 Beastie Boys, making their way through a half hour of cameo-studded misadventures before squaring off against Jack Black, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Beastie Boys of the future.
Yauch’s passion and talent for filmmaking led to his founding of Oscilloscope Laboratories, which in 2008 released his directorial film debut, the basketball documentary Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot and has since become a major force in independent video distribution, amassing a catalogue of such acclaimed titles as Kelly Reichardt’s Wendy and Lucy, Oren Moverman’s The Messenger, Banksy’s Exit Through The Gift Shop, Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze’s Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait Of Maurice Sendak, and many more.
Yauch is survived by his wife Dechen and his daughter Tenzin Losel, as well as his parents Frances and Noel Yauch.

Everest Announce New Album and New Song
Comments (0) | Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Everest released a new song today entitled "Rapture". You can download it for FREE here!
I heard this song for the first time last summer when they opened one of their shows with it. I was blown away immediately because it was so heavy and loud as hell. After the show I asked the band, "What was that song you opened with about the Rapture?" They responded, "Rapture". Now having heard the studio version, its the rocker I remember.
Everest are gearing up to release their third album, Ownerless. Due out on June 26 via ATO.
I reviewed their last album, On Approach, and it was damn near perfect. And "Let Go" was our 2010 song of the year. That statement is not to be taken lightly.
One of my favorite things about Everest is their ability to mix things up. They draw from a slew of influences and it shows through the variety of songs on their albums. Let's hope Ownerless is full of rockers, sweet ballads, and anthems that we all love.

Levon Helm
Comments (0) | Tuesday, April 17, 2012
It was released today that Levon Helm is in the final stages of throat cancer which he has been battling since the late 90's. Helm is most recognized for his work with The Band, who have not only been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame here in the States, but also the Canadian Music Hall of Fame up North.
Though his voice may had been damaged, Helm's musical endevours continued throughout the early 2000's with his renowned concert series "Midnight Ramble" or "The Rambles" at his studio and home in Woodstock, New York. Guest performers for "The Rambles" include: Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Chris Robinson and Donald Fagen. After regaining his voice, Helm released the album Dirt Farmer in 2007 followed by Electric Dirt in 2009, both winning Grammys. Then just last year, he released a live album of his performance with his band from The Rambles at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium entitled Ramble at the Ryman, which took the Grammy for Best Americana Album.
His daughter Amy, who has performed with the Levon Helm Band, along with his wife Sandy posted a heartwarming word of thanks on the opening page to LevonHelm.com...
"Dear Friends,
Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey.
Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration...he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage...
We appreciate all the love and support and concern.
From his daughter Amy, and wife Sandy"
From his daughter Amy, and wife Sandy"
