In recent weeks, Vulture.com, an off-shoot of New York Magazine (which I was arguably maligning not too long back), has been really bringing it with some great interviews. First came a hard-hitting and astonishingly candid chat with the great Quincy Jones, followed shortly by a frankly ridiculous exchange with erstwhile Strokes lead singer Julian Casablancas. Earlier this week, meanwhile, they published an amazing interview with Mike D. of the Beastie Boys that, if you share the sensibility of this blog, you should truly enjoy, being that he touches on myriad subjects dear to my heart. As I brazenly humblebragged back on this post, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Mike D. for TIME Magazine for a special issue on music, back in 2001, and he could not have been cooler. You can read my actual interview here.
That's Mike up top on the right, incidentally, as captured by Arabella Field circa 1982. He's sitting, of course, next to the late Adam Yauch within the former confines of Dave's Luncheonette on Canal Street on Broadway. That space is now called Café Bari.
In any case, do check out Mike's piece in Vulture here.
