I'm SOOOO there...
Shell toes and fat laces, *still *a great look... Great Kangol too...
I miss my old boom box *real *bad... :-(

back in the day - f**k, the beasties look young!

top boombox as well

My boy... I'm rockin' those kicks right now...

Wish I was going to see the Beasties at the Academy tonight, I saw them there 20 years ago with Run DMC... Still love those crazy kidz...

looks great im definatly checkin it out

I found a boombox in a charity shop the other day. Tape player didn't work but it looked rad. Shame I didn't buy it. It was only $10.

Cooooool as. I got to check that out. nice link

they do mention Normski as "one of Hip Hop's Grand Masters" though WTF

still have good pics ...

radio raheem - best boom box

Wayne, is this a Glen E Friedman exhbition? (That B-Boys photo is him I believe). His photos rock, essentially they're all of my teenage heroes.

On a slight tangent, anyone going to the B-Boys gigs this week? I may have spares to their instrumental only gig at the roundhouse on Thurs. Wisper me with any interest...

nah, that's one of the archive pics from the gallery [ click on the 1980's link in archives on the pymca site]

stylin'

the exhibition seems to be getting photos from lots of diff sources

Josh Cheuse was the photgrapher

I bow to your greater knowledge! (BTW who's the 4th dude in the photo?)
Fsck me, they look young!

Anybody got the pic on Dondi on a track bike, i want that picture so bad but cant find it anywhere on the internet!!

Beastie Boys are playing tonite in Brixton!!!

Roberto Beastie Boys are playing tonite in Brixton!!!

and a friend of mine just scored a free ticket! lucky bastard

saw the beasties last night at the academy and they do rock, great, great show, still buzzing about it now.
if you get the chance definitely check them out, not too sure about the instrumental show in camden though. but ending with Sabotage and having money mark dive across his keyborad, knock it off its table and then have to play with it wedged on the floor was a top moment.
also the huge samoan drummer losing three drumsticks in one song.
just a hugely hugely enjoyable night, so wanted to crouch, cross my arms and break out my b-boy stance...
because you can't, you won't, and you don't stop.... mc's that be rocking the sure shot!!!!

On that note...Wildstyle was on at the ICA a few weeks back ..gonna see Beasties at Bestival....BooM!

Conan Anybody got the pic on Dondi on a track bike, i want that picture so bad but cant find it anywhere on the internet!!

this one?

top find slamm,

now has anyone got a photo of Grandmaster Flash doing a trackstand...

[i've got some pics of a breakdance crew wearing 80's cycling gear somewhere...]

breakin/cyclin crossover

Yeah thats the one, amazing photo! I saw beastie boys in '94 and im sure money mark did the same think infact i think he spent half of sabotage jumping back and forth over the keyboard, damn that was by far the best show of my life. i went with my dad and he agrees to this day, ahah.

Oh man Be-stie Boys Rock! They where the band of my teenage years.

Boys
Entering
Anarchistic
State
Toward
Internal
Excellence

or some old bullsh!t like that.

yeah Dondi was well into bikes too, worked at a bike shop at some point. Forget the name of it though.

that picture of dondi is crazy, i didn't know he was into track bikes.

wayne_f14 they do mention Normski as "one of Hip Hop's Grand Masters" though WTF

Norman "Normski" Anderson is a giant of the music industry, and my forum name is a tribute to him.

I've got one of those La Vie Claire tops somewhere!

I met Normski once - although he comes across as a bit of a chopper on telly, he's a super nice guy
