Watching a young version of the Beastie Boys perform grunge rock is kind of like watching Dan Marino throw darts. While they definitely appear and sound unpolished, you know they have the mechanics to get the job done, thus the potential to go on to bigger and better things. But this video, from New York’s public access program The Scott and Gary Show, was shot in 1984; Hip-Hop wasn’t lucrative yet.

As you know, we’re fans of DJ/remixer/radio personality supreme Alex Metric, one of the absolute brightest talents ever to plug a computer into a Technics at the moment. Therefore we weren’t surprised to find that, at the time of this writing, two of Metric’s latest productions are #4 and #6 respectively on the influential Hype Machine . His remix of Bloc Party’s “One More Chance” is an absolute summer banger.
