Made in the image of 1980s "low-brow sleeze punk" public access TV shows like T.V. Party, Rappin with The Rickster, The Richard Bey Show, the more mainstream (or at least widely available) U.S.A. Up All Night, as well as elements of Cinema of Transgression, Мишка brings forth The Creepy Touch. Not safe for work, the squeamish, or squares. (Videos inside) Episode 1 (4:19) delved into the world of Nobunny, the man who stole the face of a jackrabbit, amongst other things. Episode 2 (4:36) stars a guy in a dinosaur mask from Uzi Rash. He is not a dinosaur, nor do dinosaurs exist in current times (except chickens). Episode 3 (5:21) is all about music made with a Nintendo by Yatagarasu, and half-Jewish hair-styles. Proper old stuff: TV Party N.Y., featuring Blondie + Klaus Nomi + more. Mick Jones on TV Party: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 Beastie Boys Rappin' with The Rickster (Youtube playlist in 7 parts), and more clips of the Beasties with thee Rickster The Richard Bey Show clip featuring Mr Punyverse & Miss Thunderthighs USA UP All Night playlist, featuring bumpers, commercials, and odd clips Nick Zedd - No Plague Like Home (Zedd coined the Cinema of Transgression manifesto)

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch (that's MCA to you) says you got to fight for your right... to make movies? Yauch has finally stepped out of Nathaniel Hornblower's shadow and started making movies for himself.

Anything's a step up after God of Love, AMIRITE?

Grand Royal is shutting down! the label, started by the beastie boys in 1993, is officially no more.

"This is one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make," said co-founder Mike Diamond a/k/a Mike D of Beastie Boys. "Over the years the Grand Royal family had grown to include some of the most talented musicians and staff in the business. It’s tragic that the same growth has also produced an overhead and infrastructure that can no longer viable."

truly a sad day for independent music!
