#CheckYourHead1992

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

"CHECK YOUR HEAD" WILL ASTONISH EACH AND EVERY CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FAN."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a press kit and/or promo record advert for American alternative hip-hop group the BEASTIE BOYS then upcoming 3rd studio album, "Check Your Head," jointly released under the Capitol Records/Grand Royal labels in spring 1992.

OVERVIEW: ""Check Your Head," the new record from rap's most innovative trio, will be released April 13th. The follow-up to the BEASTIE BOYS acknowledged masterpiece "Paul's Boutique," "Check Your Head" will astonish each and every contemporary music fan. First off, group members Mike D., MCA, and Ad-Rock have returned to their musical roots -- 70% of the album's music, a stunning array of styles including Funkadelicized fuzz bass riffs, slinky guitar-propelled reggae, and straight-up hardcore punk, is played by the Beasties, seamlessly blended with off-the-wall sampled tidbits. Looping their own dusted-out riffs, the Beastie Boys have taken sampling to its logical conclusion. The self-produced Check Your Head's exploitation of new and old music sources could well be the most radical to date.

"Apart from three diverse instrumentals ("Pow," "Groove Holmes," and "In 3's") that make up the 20 song set, the group gets on the mic to flaunt superior rhyming skills, frantic scratching, and the fattest keyboards this side of Jimmy Smith. Such old-school flavored jams as "Pass The Mic," "Finger Lickin'," and "What'cha Want" shred in an entirely new way, suggesting some unexplored netherland between The Minutemen and Spoonie G; "Time For Livin'," a hardcore punk tune harkening back to the group's Lower End Side origins, sounds as fresh as the Boys' whisper-sung vocals on "Mark On The Bus," the rootsy "Lighten Up," and the acid-soaked "Something's Got To Give." Keep an eye out for the obligatory Biz Markie cameo, "The Biz vs. The Nuge." Each song on Check Your Head speaks volumes. Loudly."

-- "CHECK YOUR HEAD" album press kit, Capitol/Grand Royal Records, January 1992

TAG PEOPLE YOU WANT TO KNOW BETTER

I got tagged by: @runn0ft,

Name: Portia 

Relationship status: To steal a phrase from Overlord Zuckerberg: it’s complicated.

Favorite color: Blue, but green is a close second.

Pets: A super-elderly wonder dog that I love so much. I also have some of the cutest cats you’ve ever seen in your life.

Favorite food: Mexican. Oh god I love Mexican. Bad Tex-Mex, little old ladies selling tamales out of their trunks, street tacos, cheese dip, salsa, I love it all. GOD.

Coke or Pepsi: Coke. I am a FIEND. I LOVE IT. I’ve also recently given it up, and I often lay in bed at night shaking with the desire to run down to the gas station and buy one. I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW MORE THAN I WANT BREATH. Anyway.

Day or night: Day. Evening, but I like to go to bed earlyish. I also like to wake up at like 2am and work on a project for a couple of hours, take a shower, and then go back to sleep. 

Chapstick or Lipstick: The magical intersection between the two. Glossier Generation G. Elf Sheer Slick (which is WAY better than Glossier). Like that.

Text or Call: Text only. I don’t even like when the phone rings at work.

Last song I listened to: I Fall to Pieces- Patsy Cline

Favorite band/artist/group: Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra,  Annie Lennox, The Ink Spots, Taylor Swift, Frente, Fleetwood Mac. I always forget what music is when someone asks me this question.

Any hobbies: I’m a voracious reader. I enjoy having the same ten television shows on as the soundtrack to my life. Writing. I also enjoy talking smack with a select few people. I apparently work out now.

how long have you been on tumblr?

WAY TOO LONG. Since 2011.

do you have a queue tag?

abracafuck queue ! It’s based on the quote from The Adventure Zone that made me start listening to it!

why did you start your blog in the first place?

My Harry Potter roleplay friends wanted to try out Tumblr roleplay and I thought “okay why not?” and made this blog and barely used it for the first year or so lol
