Hallelujah! Finally we are getting closer to the Beastie Boys new album Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 (May 3) and here’s the first single, “Make Some Noise.” It totally sounds like old school Beastie’s and I for one already love it and can’t wait to get my hands on the disc and listen to the rest.

On The East Coast? Check Out: The Sweetlife Festival
28 Mar
Ok, this may be one of the coolest events of the year. Check out The Sweetlife Festival being held May 1 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. Presented by sweetgreen, a Washington D.C. based restaurant group dedicated to sourcing local and organic ingredients and with a commitment to the environment and their community, the event will pair wholesome food with an amazing line-up of music. Performing at the annual festival this year are: The Strokes, Girl Talk, Lupe Fiasco, Crystal Castles, Cold War Kids, Ra Ra Riot, Theophilus London, Walk The Moon, U.S. Royalty and Modern Man. I personally think this is an insane event and if I lived in the area you better believe I’d be going. Even better, tickets are only $55 and VIP tickets are $100. Big props to the Washington D.C. based company and bringing music to help push the case for eating better and caring for our environment.
