Beastie Boy Adam Yauch Diagnosed With Cancer

July 20, 2009 By: sjones Category: Blog, News

In an announcment on their website today, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch let it be know that he had been diagnosed with a form of cancer. According to the video, 2 months ago he discovered a lump on the side of his throat. He went to the doctor, who then sent him to a specialist. They discovered that it was a very treatable form of cancer. As such, they will be cancelling some upcoming shows they had planned. They will also be pushing back the release of their new album – “Hot Sauce Committee Part 1.”

He stated that he will undergo surgery soon, followed by a small round of radiation. Also according to Yauch, the cancer was localized in the one area, and they did not find any trace in any other part of his body.

To check out the video, you can go to the Beastie Boys website.

Cross-country buddies Jon Snodgrass and Cory Branan are proud to announce the imminent release of a collaborative split LP featuring their own original songs alongside two covers. While theyve been planning the record for quite some time, they finally got around to tracking the songs in late 2008 while Branan was touring through Colorado.
Track Listing:
  1. Excitable (Branan)
  2. Corner (Branan)
  3. Solo In Soho (originally by Phil Lynott)
  4. Wild One (originally by Thin Lizzy)
  5. Walk Around (Snodgrass)
  6. Born Apart (Snodgrass)
  7. Yeah, So What (Snodgrass)
The album, which features epic cover art depicting the great duality of nature and artistic allusions to da Vincis The Last Supper and van Goghs Starry Night, will be available exclusively on vinyl and a very small number of mailorder-only cassette tapes. It will be released on July 21st, 2009 on a limited pressing of colored vinyl (500 sun colored, 500 moon colored) care of Suburban Home Records.
Snograss and Branan will be hitting the road just prior to the records release with labelmate Joey Cape, all three of whom released solo albums in the past year. Cape continues to support his album Bridge, released last October by Suburban Home, while Snodgrass dropped his Visitors Band album this past February, also on Suburban Home.
