Mick Boogie x Beastie Boys - Grand Royal [Mixtape]
In honor of the Beastie Boys being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week… I thought it’s finally the right time to do a Beasties mixtape. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time… something people have asked me to do for a long time, actually… but I wanted it to mean something. Now, it’s finally the right time.
I present to you Grand Royal. 80 minutes of my favorite Beastie Boys rarities, remixes, demos, live versions, out-takes, and more. If you’re a Beasties fan, I guarantee you find something new and exciting on this mix!
Being that this mix is so important to me, I wanted to make it extra special. Something beyond just an audio experience. I called my friend Jonathan Mannion, the legendary photographer (Jay-Z’s first four albums, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nas, Aaliyah, the list goes on and on), and we decided to re-shoot the iconic cover from the Beastie’s 1989 classic Paul’s Boutique.

I just stumbled upon this…Daryl Hall has a show called “Live from Daryl’s House”, each episode featuring a soul artist and a cooking/food segment. Not only is Daryl’s 300 year old house spectacular, the performances are killer. I have always been a big Hall & Oates fan - and here’s a clip featuring Detroit’s own (and another favorite of mine) Mayer Hawthorne covering Hall & Oates 80’s hit “Private Eyes”. Also, that’s Booker T. Jones on keyboards. I could not love this more. AWESOMETOWN.

Out Of Touch - Daryl Hall with KT Tunstall (by mikemoonbeam) — I just discovered the web series “Live From Daryl’s House” in which Daryl Hall performs various songs with other artists in his own home. Here he is with KT Tunstall. It’s a fucking treasure trove!
