The Beatie Boys Have Become Mutes

this morning i was browsing yahoos website as i do most morning. one of the main links was to the new beastie boys video from their new album "the mix-up". their new album is a fully instrumental album and according to the short review i read it is their second consecutive fully instrumental album. i must say it was weird to watch a beastie boys video in which not a word was spoken. i give the boys props for taking a leap and producing a completely different genre of music. To go from a genre that is based largely on lyrics alone, rap, to one without lyrics at all is quite a change. despite giving them kudos, i must say it is still weird to see a music video without a single word spoken, rapped, or sung.
