beastie boys - gratitude




label: capitol records
released: 1992

seeing as how i see you around here all the time i'm going to assume that you're fairly well versed in the beastie boy arts.
yeah.
even though you're wearing that "dr. feelgood" motley crue t-shirt.
sure.
your kid made it for you in shop class.
i'm not here to judge.
but next time you'd better make sure it's a SHOUT AT THE DEVIL t-shirt or i'm going to have to show up at your house.
and when i show up at your house....
things happen,bro.
empty milk cartons in the refrigerator.
shampoo bottles with the lids not shut tight.
stains.
smells.
furniture gets burnt.
all of those movies that you're not supposed to watch when the rest of the family is home get left in the movie playing device.
it's all here in this pamphlet.

but i digress....

the beastie boys.
this was a promo that their record company put out in order to promote the band and their CHECK YOUR HEAD tour and whatnot.
and it can also be looked at as GRATITUDE 12".
but consider this the promo copy.
it just sounds cooler.
and you want your dog to like you even more,yeah?
or cat.
or the hobo you let stay in the shed in your backyard in exchange for yardwork and soup recipes.
yeah.
hobos have all of the best soup recipes.
and it would be a shame if the other parents were to find where that soup you donated to the team jersey pledge drive came from.
it would be another "dr. feelgood" t-shirt all over again.
