The Beastie Boys Are Streaming Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

If you spent any time on the internet over the weekend you probably heard about the amazing way the Beastie Boys streamed their new album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. A video of a boombox rocking the album at midcourt of an empty Madison Square Garden certainly is ridiculously cool, but it's not really ideal listening conditions when you are talking about the first new album from the legendary trio in four years. Fret not lovers of Hot Sauce and their respective committees, Mike D, Ad-Rock and  MCA have offered up a stream of the album sans boombox and Knicks logo.

If you missed it over the weekend you can check out the boombox stream below, but when you're ready to dig in you'll want to go the Soundcloud route. Then most likely head over to pre-order the new album before the May 3rd release. And yes, they do name drop Ted Danson so you know your money is going to a good place.

Awesome Image: Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood & Danny McBride As The Beastie Boys

This is undoubtedly the best picture I've ever seen that has Elijah Wood in it. What you're looking at is Seth Rogen, Wood and Kenny Powers' alter ego Danny McBride as Mike D, Ad-Rock and MCA, collectively known as The Beastie Boys. This isn't just some funny picture either, it comes from the upcoming Adam Yauch directed, Sundance approved short film Fight For Your Right Revisited. Rounding out the cast for what looks to be a certifiably awesome short are Will Ferrell, Jack Black and John C. Reilly. I don't know about you but the vague tagline of "After the boys leave the party..." combined with the amazing picture above have me ridiculously excited.

If you need a refresher check out the original "Fight For Your Right" video below. Obviously we're all praying for Reilly and Ferrell to play the nerdy brothers that host the party right?  [via stereogum]
