THE BEASTIE BOYS GO INSTRUMENTAL! “All Instrumental April” continues with Darren Capulong (bassist, Vampire Squids From Hell) discussing this French fanclub compilation from The Beastie Boys. If the music video for “Sabotage” was a real 1970s cop show, would this be the soundtrack? Is there some sort of prejudice against those who play their own instruments in the world of Hip-Hop? Is it easier to learn to play the guitar than it is to pay mechanical royalties on your samples? Did The Beastie Boys ever fully live down their initial frat-bro image? Does everything played backwards now invoke David Lynch? Is there any guitars on this record that aren’t using a wah-wah pedal? What other rap groups have enough interstitial interludes to fill up an entire compilation? Ch-ch-ch-check it out on this week’s Detours and Outliers.
