Here’s this week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during last night’s radio show.

RIP Adam “MCA” Yauch.

This simple post on Twitter summed up what I loved about Yauch and how he faced growing older fearlessly.

The Beastie Boys had no shortage of great moments during their nearly 30 year career and I’m embedding some favorites I’ve watched between MCA’s passing and now throughout this post.

I was also taken with Sasha Frere-Jones’ remembrance.

Free downloads this week too. The first three songs by Legion Of Strangers for starters and (for a limited time) the Nicholas Szczepanik record “We Make Life Sad.”

Can’t wait for the Government Issue live series.

Try and get this Ex Friends song out of your head.

You can still grab Beastie Boys’ “Now Get Busy” here.

Live on next week’s show, Kiam recording artist Tim Foljahn!
