2010 - 1980 - 1950 - 1920

Let the 30 Years Film Project begin!

Get in on the ground floor now!

For the next 30 years I will dig into 4 years of film, released at intervals of 30 years. In this way we can discuss cinema today, and what we see from the past. What is cyclical, and what is dead? Why did one year stink, and then the next year we can see if the next year was an improvement.

So get ready!

Beastie Boys Retrospective - Pt. 1

The idea to take a dive into the entire catalog of the Beastie Boys was born after digging out their 1994 album Ill Communication.


In the past this album was only important for the songs "Sure Shot" and "Sabotage." Both great songs in the car with the windows down on a warm day. What I didn't expect this time around was that this CD would stay in my car for the two hottest weeks of the year, anytime I wanted the windows down.

The album blends instrumental tracks, old school hip hop flavors, authentic Beastie ridiculous raps and their unique jazz/funk beat tracks.

The weakest link on this album might be the actual raps of the B-Boys, but with beats as stellar as those that appear on this album, who cares what they are actually trying to say?

Great guest appearances, an entire album of brilliant beats, and summertime fun.
