The Mixtape Volume Seven
Twenty-five jams mixed together to soundtrack your spring and summer dance parties. Free download as always.
I don’t have many dance parties these days, but I surely do dig The Hood Internet’s mixtapes.

Beastie Boys Sign a Memoir Deal
If the Beastie Boys wrote a book, you might expect it to depart from standard memoir form. Rather than a strict narrative patiently winding its way from bygone days, such a book might — in keeping with the group’s hypereclectic style — be a pastiche of voices, images, irreverent humor and pop-culture reference points. And that, it turns out, is exactly what the Beastie Boys’ book will be like.
The only bad thing about this is that I have to wait until 2015 to get my grubby little paws on it. /via jay divinagracia

Things you should listen to
B-Boy Bouillabaisse, if you have 12 minutes to spare. Tidal Tendencies by Hawk House, feels like 90s New York hip-hop with the addition of English accents.

From the PE/3rd Bass European Tour: Flav knocked on our hotel room doors at like 7 a.m. in Glasgow, Scotland, and wanted me and Serch to go feed some pigeons with him. Not kidding. We ended up feeding pigeons, took 20 kids to Mickey D’s for breakfast(on Flav), and, finally, went to a magic store where Flav bought platform shoes, fake shit, and a stockpile of fake blood capsules. He’s got that stuff in the bag. By the time we got to Germany the next day Flav put the fake blood to use: he dropped to the floor in an airport, fake convulsions and spat up mad blood. He stood up and pointed and laughed at me and Serch saying “Yeah Boooooyee…its the fake blood from the magic store, G!”
From Deadspin’s article featuring a bunch of Pete Nice’s (of 3rd Bass) photos from the 90’s. I have all of 3rd Bass’s tapes (yes, tapes). /via aaron cohen

First Listen: The Shouting Matches, 'Grownass Man'
It doesn’t even take 10 seconds for The Shouting Matches’ debut album, Grownass Man, to present itself as something lighter in spirit than anything by Bon Iver; even before the opening riffs, a mere glance at the cover shows a smiling Justin Vernon, hanging out with his hometown pals. This isn’t the stuff of mystery or misery, of yearning, of finding one’s voice in a secluded cabin. It’s the work of a guy who loves playing music …
Good music, great album name.
