Happy Halloween From Oscilloscope Laboratories

Oscilloscope Laboratories is a great independent film distribution company that was started by the recently deceased Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys) back in the day and has a track record of distributing really cool foreign and independent films. They also are known for releasing a Halloween short every year, and this years entry is really spooky! It involves a singing cavalcade of children, all face painted and creeping the fuck out of the adults  in the piece. Fantastic!!! Check it out after the jump, it is superb as usual.

R.I.P. Adam Yauch - Gone Way To Soon

I have been away from this blog over the past few days, so I have not really had the chance to convey just how sad I am over the death of Adam Yauch, aka MCA, of The Beastie Boys. I have been a fan of the Beasties since the tender old age of 7. Yeah, I said it. SEVEN. I was in second grade at P.S. 207 elementary school in Howard Beach, NY when 'License to Ill' was released back in 1986. Even though I may have been a bit young for the crazy sentiments contained on the album, but I had an older sister, Oona, who was in the 6th grade. Her and her friends embraced 'License To Ill' with a furor that only teenagers could do, and the album was EVERYWHERE. It was so popular it was trickling down to the kids in school who were still in single digits. Man was that album epic....

What Happened After The Party???

That's the question that Beastie Boy & short film director Adam Yauch is going to answer in Fight For You Right Revisted. Yauch takes a look back at the events that immediately followed the raucous party in the Beastie Boys seminal hit "Fight For Your Right (To Party!!!)". I always loved the Beastie Boys... one of the reasons was probably because they had a member named Mike D! It was always cool rapping those parts of the song when he would say his name. But even though the premise of this short film sounds great enough, Yauch has put together a star studded dream team of a cast to bring it to life. Here are the films version of The Beastie Boys:

Yup, that is Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, and El Flama Blanca himself Danny McBride playing the classic hip hop trio!!!! You gotta be kidding me. Not to mention that the film will also feature John C Reilly, Will Ferrell & Jack Black... I can not wait for this one. I love the way they meticulously recreated the outfits the guys wore in the original video. Check out the 1986 video, and stay tuned for more news on when & where us regular folks can see this one.
