Praise for Beastie Boys Book

“An interesting, beneficiant Ebook with snap shots and element that flow by means of in bursts of colour . . . As with [the band’s] information, the Ebook’s construction is a lyrical 3-Guy weave. . . . Diamond’s voice is lapidary, droll. Horovitz comes on like a borscht belt comic, however underneath that he’s pressing, incredulous, more or less susceptible. . . . Friendship is the Ebook’s matter up to song, status and New York.”—The New York Instances Ebook Review

“Wild, transferring . . . resembles a Beastie Boys LP in its wild number of types.”—Rolling Stone 

“As nutty, irreverent, and amusing as you assume it will be.”—Vogue

“As freewheeling and humorous as their albums . . . a fantastically messy (and big) talisman containing inside of it the various nice joys and surprises that include paying attention to the Beastie Boys”—The AV Club
An Amazon Easiest Ebook of November 2018: Men, the Beastie Boys wrote a Ebook (or possibly conjured is a greater phrase), and It is a piece of labor. Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz, differently referred to as Mike D and Advert-Rock, provide Beastie Boys Book, a rambling and unruly move-of-awareness shuttle thru greater than 3 many years of uncensored recollections—information, rashes, excursions, picture novels, and playlists. Madonna’s right here, as is Weapons N’ Roses, Dolly Parton, Johnny Ryall and the Egg Guy. Illustrated with dozens or in all probability loads of images, we get relive their earliest displays, pass in the back of the scenes in their brief-lived mag, Grand Royal (which mainstreamed the Mullet, the industry-in-entrance/birthday party-in-the-again “coiffure”), and relive pickup basketball video games among units at Lollapalooza, wherein Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan dunks savagely towards kind. Lest you assume that is frivolous, disreputable stuff, Amy Poehler, Wes Anderson, Jonathan Lethem, and Nationwide Ebook Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winner Colson Whitehead prevent by means of with their very own contributions. Beastie Boys Book is uncountable issues, however general It is a field stuffed with love letters to lovers, founding member Adam Yauch (who passed on to the great beyond in 2012), the early days of hip-hop, and grimy antique New York. It is a Ebook that may’t, received’t prevent giving. —Jon Foro, Amazon Ebook Review
