Tribute: RIP Adam Yauch.

A few days Beastie Boys co-founder Adam Yauch, aka MCA, passed away from cancer at the age of only 47. Really sad stuff. Beastie Boys were without doubt one of the most important and infleuntial hip-hop and music bands of the last 20 years or so. They were a band that refused to bend to rules and continued to defy genres. A group responsible for the shape of music today and are cited as an influence by countless artists. To be respected and remembered.



And a rather lovely tribute from Coldplay:
