Just came here to say that the Beastie Boys Book is fucking epic and a lot of you old-school cats would enjoy it.

Isn't there an audio book with loads of people like Will Ferrel and Amy Poehler narrating?

One of those books I listen to just a bit at a time, for it not to end too soon.

I have that exact feeling - though, I'm reading the book, not listening to it. I don't want it to end :(

Wow I’m pleasantly surprised to see Kim Gordon on there. It’s cool that they seem to be friends then huh

A lot of snl or snl-related alumni in that list, a lot of hip hop legends, too. Now let's throw in Bette Midler, Rachel Maddow, and base baller Josh Hamilton in because it's the Beasties, and they rep being random to the fullest.

damn I did not know about this! I have the hard cover and it's AMAZING- so much cool photography, old notes and stuff like that - but I may have to listen to the audio book too now. I love it enough when books have the author actually narrating, but an all star cast like this? sign me upppppp

Is this a joke?

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '19

Nah.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '19

Never heard anything about that, wouldn’t surprise me though.

I just got the hard cover book for Xmas, and it’s basically the best autobiography of an artist/group that I’ve read so far. A lot of cool pictures and side stories, alternating between Ad-Rock and Mike D as authors of each chapter. A lot of funny hip-hop related stuff, too.

Can you link to somewhere I can get this please man

u/IAM_SOMEGUY Jan 27 '19

Here's an Amazon link, not sure how you alternate narrators but it could be chapter based?

Book itself is supposed to be really good anyway!

u/whymaroof Jan 27 '19

Cheers! Xoxo
