New York NY -- June 23, 2009 -- The title, release date and complete track listing for Beastie Boys' eighth studio album have been confirmed: Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 will be released September 15 by Capitol in multiple configurations including a 5.1 surround mix and will consist of the following compositions:

The first Beastie Boys headline date confirmed to follow the album's release, the band's debut stand at the famed Hollywood Bowl, has sold out. Further dates will be announced as they are confirmed.
Meanwhile, Beastie Boys recently began a summer festival mission with a set at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester TN that blew the crowd of 70,000-plus out of their Birkenstocks and caused devil sticks to spontaneously combust. The performance featured an appearance by Nas who joined the Boys for the live debut of the new record's "Too Many Rappers," as well as a rare appearance from Country Mike for an acoustic rendition of "Heart Attack Man."
The mission will continue throughout the summer and will include upcoming appearances at the All Points West and Lollapalooza festivals, the latter of which will be preceded by a just-announced intimate Beastie Boys show at the Congress in Chicago on Thursday, August 6.
Finally, the last installment of the deluxe, remastered, expanded and altogether awesome Beastie Boys catalogue reissues will be dropping in advance of the new record: the band's multi-platinum 1998 opus Hello Nasty will be given the 2-CD/vinyl box set/multi-format treatment beginning with an August 17 pre-order/digital release and will hit stores August 25. Preceded by the universal smash "Intergalactic," Hello Nasty crashed into the #1 spots of charts worldwide upon its July 1998 release, with first week sales of nearly 700,000 in the U.S. alone. Buoyed by the launch of the 360 in the round tour, Hello Nasty would yield B Boys classics "Body Movin'," "Three MCs and One DJ," "Remote Control," "Super Disco Breakin'" and more, win two Grammys, see the band presented with an MTV Video Vanguard lifetime achievement award, and ultimately sell some 7 million copies worldwide.
As previously announced, pre-orders for the expanded, remastered multi-format Ill Communication will begin July 6, with a physical release of July 14.

Awesome Mix Tape 51 (in the shake*your*shores series)
It always fills me with great joy when a friend asks for a personalized compilation — especially when it's someone who has introduced me to a bunch of music themselves. This special edition of my awesome mix tapes series is a batch of songs hand-selected for my good pal Kristi, whom I met in college, worked with at our college newspaper and, to cap it all off, took a roadtrip with up to Winnipeg to eat grilled-cheese "sammiches" at McCanada and *oh yeah* catch the Pixies' second reunion show after a decade-plus hiatus.
Either way, these tracks all deserve more than an audience of two, so hopefully everyone who's not Kristi will pay attention as well.
Read all about it at http://www.flyhighduluth.com/2009/05/sys51-songs-4-klang.html.

sys50 :: RING ROAD SUPERMARKET
For this very special* awesome mix tape, I've decided to unveil this blog's new direction: Amazon.com-aided musical discovery. Now, instead of simply "listening" to me ramble on about my current favorite songs, you can actually hear samples of them and, if you like what you hear, purchase them on the fly. However, since A) Amazon's MP3 store doesn't have EVERYTHING and B) sometimes (always) free is more fun, following the widget below you'll find a list of all this mix tape's selections and, whenever available, links to free, artist-sanctioned downloads. (I suppose kids with craptastic Internet connections will appreciate Clause A as well....)
Anyway, see what all the fuss is about at http://flyhighduluth.blogspot.com/2009/04/sys50-ring-road-supermarket.html

First impressions of ... Fischerspooner's 'Entertainment'
While the electroclash duo Fischerspooner hasn't released anything that invigorating since 2001's "Emerge" (from the exhaustingly hyped group's debut, "#1"), there's always hope for the future, right? Well, we'll soon find out; here are my preliminary thoughts on "Entertainment," which will be released next month:

First impressions of ... the Merge Records covers disc
Merge is 20 years old. Part of the larger "Score!" subscription-based box set, "The Covers!" is an amazing collection of songs spanning the label's existence, covered by some of the most popular (non-Merge) indie bands around, such as Quasi, Les Savy Fav, the Shins, Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, the New Pornographers, Okkervil River, Death Cab for Cutie, Times New Viking and many more. This collection is the first of only two commercially available pieces from the box set. Limited to 7,500 copies. All proceeds benefit charities chosen by the SCORE curators.
I didn't write the text above (Merge did), but what follows are my preliminary thoughts on this incredible covers project:
1 Quasi – "Beautiful Things" (3Ds cover)
A warm, humming firecracker that comes across as a less-polished MGMT or a rough-around-the-edges R.E.M. (circa "Reveal").
2 Les Savy Fav – "Precision Auto" (Superchunk)
A song for summer block parties if I ever did hear one: Les Savy Fav's tribute to Superchunk is raw, urgent and full of adrenaline (like most of the group's originals).
3 The Shins – "Plenty is Never Enough" (Tenement Halls)
Along similar lines, this single-in-waiting is full of enough bounce and pep to fuel any good-natured roadtrip.
4 St. Vincent and The National – "Sleep All Summer" (Crooked Fingers)
Like its title implies, this love song, while pretty, is the aural equivalent of your dog's favorite Sunday-afternoon sunning spot.
5 Broken Social Scene – "Complications" (The Clean)
BSS, Canada's premier musical collective, goes all expansive and legendary for this punk cover – and it works, epicly so.
6 Ryan Adams – "Like a Fool" (Superchunk)
One of the most prolific voices of this generation channels the vibe of Radiohead's "The Bends" album (the single "My Iron Lung" in particular) for what is probably going to be this album's best entry point for casual rock fans.
7 Bright Eyes – "Papa Was a Rodeo" (The Magnetic Fields)
Similarly, Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, one of the other most prolific voices of this generation, feels right at home with this Magnetic Fields classic. If you liked his "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn" disc a few years back, you'll dig this cover.
8 Lavender Diamond – "New Ways of Living" (Destroyer)
Eh.... Her voice just doesn't do it for me/sounds as if it escaped from a slightly unnerving collection of beloved lullabies for yuppie spawn.
9 The Apples in stereo – "King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 3" (Neutral Milk Hotel)
I was so glad to find out that this stellar track is on here. (I heard it last week on Walt Dizzo's radio show and was hoping to get my hands on it sooner rather than later – thanks, Merge's powers that be!)
10 Laura Cantrell – "Cowboy on the Moon" (Lambchop)
I don't want to come across as a sexist, but this "Dream Weaver"-esque ditty belongs on the same eerie (fake) compilation as Lavender Diamond's "New Ways of Living." Pass.
11 Bill Callahan – "Santa Maria" (Versus)
Oh, I see, we've landed on this album's ho-hum stretch. Unless you're a big Quentin Tarantino fan (as in, you own all of his film's soundtracks), this sitting-pretty-south-of-the-border roller probably won't jump out at you.
12 Barbara Manning – "Through with People" (Portastatic)
Finally we're back to songs to write home about/include on your next awesome mix tape! Like Belly and the Martinis, yeah? No? Well, then, I guess I'll be dancing and falling in love to this one alone.
13 The Mountain Goats – "Drug Life" (East River Pipe)
Yikes, was this recorded by a laptop? (Then again, I'm the kind of guy who prefers his Guided by Voices releases to be hi-fi.)
14 The New Pornographers – "Don’t Destroy This Night" (The Rock*A*Teens)
Score (is right)! This No. 1 shot from Neko Case, A.C. Newman and the rest of the merry little pranksters is as amazing as the singles the Beach Boys released during their Brother Records years – and you laughed the first time you heard the phrase "Canadian supergroup"....
15 Tracey Thorn & Jens Lekman – "Yeah! Oh, Yeah!" (The Magnetic Fields)
Doesn't quite reach the epic highs of Sinead O'Connor and Shane MacGowan's 1995 duet "Haunted," but just having these two talents work together is pretty impressive.
16 The Hive Dwellers – "My Noise" (Superchunk)
More love for Superchunk ... or is it? Upon first listen I'm pretty sure the Hive Dwellers actually hate Merge's all-star group. This is a regrettable recording.
17 Ted Leo & The Pharmacists – "The Numbered Head" (Robert Pollard)
Though I haven't followed Ted Leo's career as closely as I probably should have, his take on Guided by Voices' Who-obsessed frontman is quite pleasant. Consider me a new fan.
18 Okkervil River – "All You Little Suckers" (East River Pipe)
Nuanced (read: not very exciting), but leaps and bounds better than Track 16.
19 Death Cab for Cutie – "Kicked In" (Superchunk)
Makes the soul smile. Come on, what else would you expect from these guys?
20 Times New Viking – "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" (Arcade Fire)
I was a little worried about this one, as the Arcade Fire original is one of my favorite song, but ... well, I have mixed feelings. It kind of feels like noise (which I hate), but, like choice My Bloody Valentine tracks, I'm coming around to it. It works, no worries. (I cheated and listened to this track twice.)
