New Passion Pit | "Take a Walk" [Stream] + 2012 Summer Tour Dates

It's been far too long since we've heard anything new from Passion Pit. Well scratch that. Towards the end of July the five-piece will release their sophomore effort entitled Gossamer. The first single "Take a Walk" puts the lyrics in a more noticeable role in the mix, but still manages to sound just as catchy as everything else they've recorded.

Beastie Boys In Concert (Live From Glasgow 1999) + (Hiro Ballroom NYC 2006)

More Beastie Boys, yeah why not? Here's a video of them performing at a concert in Glasgow from back in the day when MTV still played music. (via)

 

The second video is from an intimate show filmed during 2006 in NYC at Hiro Ballroom. The show was called "Gimme Shelter" and was put on by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Rational Animal (www.rational-animal.org). I really admire the trio for their integrity and how they always stood up for great causes. We need more people like them in the world. (via)

If you're still in need of a Beastie Boys fix, check out BeastieMixes. They have a ton of concert recordings of the trio. Another incredibly cool mix to check out is Z-Trip's Beastie Boys Megamix.
