Friday afternoon brought the terribly sad news that Adam Yauch (aka MCA, aka Nathaniel Hornblower) had passed following a three year bout with cancer. While a lot of media are rightly looking back on Yauch’s incredible career as a musician, rapper, artist, director, and activist, I’ll not spend too much time here rehashing his litany of accomplishments over the last 26 years. Instead, I thought I’d chime in with a little reflection on Yauch’s impact on your old pal Dr. […]

We’ve spent much of the past week looking back at the year that was, with many of the writers on staff posting their lists of their 11 favorite albums of 2011.

bLISTerd Presents: Koomdogg’s top 11 Albums of 2011
There were a lot of terrific rock albums in 2011, but the one that stood out for me was Fucked Up’s David Comes to Life, and not just because I can’t say the band’s name in front of my mom.

If you didn’t know this already, the Beastie Boys are back in a big way in 2011. If the fantastic Hot Sauce Committee Part Two or the “Make Some Noise” short film didn’t convince you then their latest dub-tinged single featuring Santigold most surely will.
