Zack Attack and The Roots?!

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 | fliX, musiX | 5 Comments

I was a huge fan of Zack Attack in high school. The way Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski and Lisa Turtle’s harmonies blended together gave me chills. When they broke up, so did a part of my left ventricle.

I was more than excited when Morris appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon the other night. He talked about the old days, his new career in acting, his divorce from Kapowski. Morris even timed Fallon out (which I enjoyed quite a bit) and capped the appearance with a performance of Zack Attack’s hit “Friends Forever” with The Roots.

Fallon is working on a class reunion of sorts for our old pals from Bayside High—the only two holdouts are Kapowski and Screech. Who would have thought Screech would be the most successful one of the group, with his work as a stand-up comedian, film actor (Saved By the Smell is a must-see) and as a musician? Might be tough to nab him.

Beastie Boys give Fallon what he wants

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 | musiX | 3 Comments

The Beastie Boys dropped by “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” last night to plug the reissue of Check Your Head, which is a very(!) close second to Paul’s Boutique for my favorite B-Boys record. I will say this, though—”So What’cha Want” is definitely one of my favorite all-time cuts. Period. And this rendition with The Roots—very tasty. After watching it, though, I feel they should be called the Beastie Men. C’mon, they’ve earned it!

Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D will release the reissue of Ill Communication on July 14—also a great disc. But bugger all that; the Beasties will release a new record in September called Hot Sauce Committee. Mmm … sounds delicious. Where do I sign up?
