B-Boy Bouillabaisse: A Year And A Day

Beastie Boys

Let me start with an apology. I’m posting this at 3:52pm, which is much later than usual.

I’ve been listening to Dan LeRoy’s book on the making of Paul’s Boutique, and it took me down the path of relistening to a bunch of the Beasties’ catalog. It had to have been over a decade since I played Bouillabaisse and had forgotten about this song.

Good luck clearing this today… here’s a sample’s list… at least partial:

  • “Ebony Jam“ by Tower of Power from the album, In the Slot (1976)
  • “Who’s That Lady?“ from the single by the Isley Brothers (1964)
  • “When the Levee Breaks“ by Led Zeppelin from the album, Led Zeppelin IV (1971)
  • “High Power Rap“ from the single by Disco Dave And The Force Of The 5 MCs (aka Crash Crew) (1980)
One song per day. Two hundred words or less.
