Future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and NYC icons the Beastie Boys have had a turbulent couple of years, between Adam Yauch's health troubles and the indefinite delay of their album Hot Sauce Committee (which is now Hot Sauce Committee part 2). But some pretty cool news: Adam Yauch is writing and directing a short film about the making of the Beastie Boys’ classic party anthem, “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!).” It’s called Fight For Your Right Revisited, it’ll premiere at Sundance’s Short Film Festival, and it features a who's-who of modern comedy actors.

McCartney's Intimate New York Show
It isn't very often a Beatle takes a small stage for an intimate show in New York. Last night, this very thing happened...and lucky for those in attendance, that Beatle wasn't Ringo.
Only in Williamsburg, Only on the L
Reader Nick sent us this insane image from his morning commute. As it's not totally safe for work (we're being cautious), click here to view the whole image. And here's Nick's note:
So I was on the L train this morning on my way to work, and these guys board somewhere in Williamsburg with a huge wooden painting, with holes for people to put their faces like at a carnival. What do you think?We think that's some crazy carnival! Our bet is that it's going to a hospital or experimental theater - it's too late for Mother's Day.
Extra, Extra
- Some of L.A. gets a blackout; so far, it doesn't seem to be Al Qaeda but rather some "overzealous cable cutting"... however, it's unlikely that blackout babies will be conceived, since power should be going up soon
Gothamist Does Austin: Part 2
Gothamist returned from Austin last night and headed straight to the Mercury Lounge for the Go! Team (who were fun - but not as good live as on their album). Needless to say we are tired, exhausted and sad to not be wearing flip flops and tank tops anymore.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
So far, the work of Charlie Kaufman has only been adapted by two directors: Spike Jonze, with Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, and Michel Gondry, whose Human Nature was tepidly received but has directed the eagerly awaited 2004 release, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Eternal Sunshine stars Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, and Mark Ruffalo, with Carrey as a man trying to erase memories of ex-girlfriend Winslet from his mind. And by the looks of the trailer, it looks like vintage Kaufman AND Gondry, with tiny human bodies in normal size enviroments.
