"SEE, THIS AIN'T AMERICA'S MOST WANTED,
THIS IS AMERICA'S MOST MACKIN'!"
PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on American hip-hop group, BEASTIE BOYS, walking down Franklin Ave., Los Angeles (Hollywood), CA, from the B. Boys' "Check Your Head" photo-session, c. 1991. 📸: Glen E. Friedman.
OVERVIEW: "We met up by the Capitol Records building and eventually ended up in a beach parking lot in Santa Monica. Same lot you would have parked in if you had a car and were going to Arthur Lake's parents home in ‘76 to skate their pool. Pictures from this day ended up on the cover of "CHECK YOUR HEAD" and on various other merchandise the boys put out.
This is one of my FAVORITES from the day.
Hearing this album in the studio with them for the first time while they were working on the sequencing is what inspired me to ask them to do the photo session. They already had the LP cover done I was told, but that was fine by me, once I faxed them some of these they changed direction and threw a Fax on the cover of the LP. On the cassette and later CD they used the actual photograph. Inspired, conquered. Great day, amazing work. They also met AWOL for the first time this day, since i asked him if he'd mind hauling us around in his van and hang out."
-- GLEN E. FRIEDMAN (American photographer/living legend)

"FROM THE FRAT HOUSE TO THE ART HOUSE..." -- THE G-SON/ATWATER YEARS.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on American alternative hip-hop group, BEASTIE BOYS, meet The Stud Brothers. 📸: Tom Sheehan, from the UK's "Melody Maker" music publication, published on April 11, 1992, during the B. BOYS' "Check Your Head" era.
"Six years after their notorious debut, "Licensed to Ill," the brat pack trio may no longer be a threat to the nation's youth, but their new album still packs a fearsome and inventive punch that pushes the limits of rock and rap. THE STUD BROTHERS report."
-- THE MELODY MAKER, c. April 1992 (the "Check Your Head" LP was released a month prior)

what you consider the average song length
what you consider 'long' for a song, and 'short' for one
a few genres you listen to the most/consider your favorite
