R.I.P. MCA
Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys has died at 47, probably of cancer. If it were possible to wear out a CD I think I did back in the early 90s when I was listening to Check Your Head incessantly while working in a small start up in South Park. I'd never heard that particular combination of driving music and rhythm and lyricism, and I was absolutely addicted. These guys were endlessly creative transformative artists as well as original musicians (which isn't to say Mike D and Adrock won't continue to create more amazing shit) and I'm going to miss the hell out of the Beastie Boys.
R.I.P., Adam, and sympathies to your family. Thanks for all the amazing music.
ETA: kristen999 found this awesome tribute by Coldplay that made me wibble.
