04.15.2004 - It's Like Christmukah All Over Again
Fox TV issued this press release this week about CH-CHECK IT OUT being in an episode of "THE O.C." -
BEASTIE BOYS' NEW SINGLE "CH-CHECK IT OUT" TO DEBUT ON "THE O.C." WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28 ON FOX
"Ch-Check It Out," Beastie Boys' first single from their new album, "To The 5 Boroughs," will debut on THE O.C. Wednesday, April 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, the same day the song premieres on radio. Accompanied by Beastie Boys' new track, the boys from THE O.C. travel to Las Vegas for an impromptu bachelor party where Ryan (Ben McKenzie) and Seth (Adam Brody) find themselves in a compromising situation and Jimmy (Tate Donovan) and Sandy (Peter Gallagher) learn that Caleb (Alan Dale) had less than altruistic motives when he purchased the restaurant from them. Meanwhile in Orange County, Marissa (Mischa Barton) learns Theresa's (Navi Rawat) secret and Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) throws Julie (Melinda Clarke) a "sizzling" bachelorette party.
"Ch-Check It Out's" April 28 debut on radio and THE O.C. will be followed by release of "To The 5 Boroughs," the band's sixth album (and first produced entirely by the Boys themselves), this summer.
Recorded over the last two years at Beastie Boys' own studio in downtown New York City, produced by the band and mixed by Supa Engineer Duro, "To The 5 Boroughs" is the first Beastie Boys record since 1998's quadruple-platinum "Hello Nasty." "Nasty" sold nearly 700,000 records the week of its U.S. release and entered at the top of virtually every chart in every country around the world. "To The 5 Boroughs," in keeping with its title, is in large part homage to the city that brought Mike D, Adrock and MCA together.

Maybe a photographer's press pass in order, I'll forward you details as show-date approaches.
It'd be interesting to see the big stars through The Pod's irreverent lens!
maybe 2 press passes? I can always make a trip to Miami. POD doesn't like to socialize with the peeps much, and thats my strong point.
You can never have too many cameras
:D Unless a guy named Seth is involved
:eek:

Hey Ramon, is there any chance Stryke or any South Florida DJ's playing the Movement Festival?
Good Luck with Sunday

I saw the same concert. What city did you see it in? I saw it in Toledo, Ohio. The Jim Rose Circus was some crazy wacky stuff with The Human Enigma and Mr. Lifto.
here are some haunting images if you have trouble remembering
:eek: -

Good Luck Matt and Brian. They won't know what hit them.
-
Dang it funk, you beat me to the news.
Anyway. I will be camping out for the Cd and tickets when they go on tour.
Hip Hip Horay, Hip Hip Horay, Hip Hip Horay,
and the return of good music:bounce:

I have a funny story about Stomp.
Some freinds and I were out in the clubs in Nashville a couple of years ago. It was my 2 friends and I, and I started talking to this girl who was hot. After a little while of chatting, she asked me if I had any rolls. She said her and her freinds were headed to another club and wanted some. Our two groups hook up and and she gets on the phone and calls a ride. I thought she was calling a taxi. It turns out, she was calling her manager, since they were the entire cast of Stomp. A limo pulls up at the club, to take us to another club, a guy is already in the limo and he has all the good they were looking for. We get in the limo, drive around Nashville for about 30 minutes in a limo, while they do some blow and rolls. Then we all go to the club and danced the night away. Then my friends and I crashed at the hotel, which was rediculous, it was the Penthouse of Opreyland, and it was massive. Our Breakkfeast the next morning for like 10 of us was $400. Thankfully they picked up the bill.
Maybe that is the secret to the good shows.

I hope you all have a good Easter or just a good weekend if it isn't your thang.
Peace and funky beats
-
thats right, 10 straight episodes starting at 9 pm.
:D -
Please spare us.

Good Luck guys, I am sure you will tear it up.

The day parties are usually special events at hotels or for WMC.
The day parties that are in clusb are at Nerve and Nikki Beach on sundays.
Check out the Cleavelander for crazy stuff going on and Wet willies for good drinks.

hey Funk, the Fatboy CD with Fucking in Heaven on it is still one of the best overall electronic CD's I have in my collection.
I still get goose bumps when I hear California, I like the thick and juicy bass in it.
-
this is the kinda party I hate missing
-
I like her, I'de let her do me.
and this one
I want to marrry this one
-
its not bruno now, i don't see a mo hawk?

This is really kickass. I watched it live on CNN on Saturday.

Aviation history was made today as NASA successfully flew its experimental X-43A research vehicle, a forerunner of craft that could well offer alternate access to space in the future.
Preliminary indications are that the craft appeared to meet a major milestone: propelling itself slightly over Mach 7, seven times the speed of sound, or some 5,000 miles per hour.

EXCLUSIVE: Cause of X-43A Hyper-X Crash Identified
"It was fun all the way to Mach 7," said Joel Sitz, X-43 Project Manager at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research at Edwards, California during a press briefing after the flight.
The X-43A test shot is part of NASA’s Hyper-X program, a research effort to try out propulsion technologies for high-speed flight within the atmosphere and into Earth orbit.
A major objective of the unmanned X-43A flight was shaking out air-breathing supersonic-combustion ramjet (scramjet) engine technology.
Unlike the space shuttle that must haul along weighty amounts of liquid oxygen to burn with liquid hydrogen, scramjets use the atmosphere as fuel. Doing so means a scramjet-carrying craft could haul more payload into orbit.
Without a hitch
"We went off without a hitch," said Bradford Neal, test conductor for the flight Saturday.
Griffin Corpening, X-43A chief engineer at Dryden, said the X-43A "scooted out to Mach 7…just an outstanding job." Data was received from the vehicle all the way down to its splash down in the Pacific Ocean. "It really hung in there," he said.
Corpening said the data collected during the flight will be intensely studied over the next weeks, months, and probably years.
"It has been an outstanding record-breaking day. It really has," said Larry Huebner, Hyper-X scramjet propulsion research engineer at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Based on preliminary data, he said, the vehicle experienced positive acceleration while climbing due to the performance of its scramjet engine.
"Our vehicle under airbreathing power went over 15 miles," Huebner reported. The flight today was the first-ever airframe integrated scramjet engine experiment. "We can claim an air-breathing powered record today…no doubt about it."
But now, Huebner said, "it’s time to roll up our sleeves and start looking at some data."
Winged surfboard
Today’s test of the 12-foot ((3.7 meters) long X-43A began with the vehicle being toted skyward from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center on Edwards Air Force Base, California by a B-52 carrier aircraft. The experimental craft -- taking on the look of a winged surfboard -- was attached to a modified Pegasus XL booster.
After reaching a designated altitude, the NASA B-52 released the X-43A/Pegasus booster combination high over the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division Sea Range over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California.
A long contrail arced up and away from the B-52 as the modified Pegasus boosted the X-43A. A normal separation of the test vehicle from the booster could clearly be seen. The craft remained stable during release from its booster.
The X-43A continued its speedy flight, opening up an intake chamber that allowed a high-speed stream of oxygen into the vehicle. That port was then closed, and all appeared to work as planned as mission controllers clapped and hugged each other.
Gulping up the atmosphere as it shot through the sky, the craft pushed that air into a scramjet. Carried onboard the X-43A is a small quantity of hydrogen that mixed with the incoming oxygen. That mix was then combusted, pushing the plane forward to high-mach speeds.
Following the engine test, the X-43A began gliding and maneuvering for several minutes before nosing into Pacific Ocean waters within a restricted test zone.
Tough engineering challenge
The $250 million program began with conceptual design and scramjet engine wind tunnel work in 1996.
According to a NASA statement, this is the first time a non-rocket, air-breathing scramjet engine has powered a vehicle in flight at hypersonic speeds. No vehicle has ever flown at hypersonic speeds powered by an air-breathing scramjet engine.
The rocket boost and subsequent separation from the rocket to get to the scramjet test condition have complex elements that must work properly to assure flight success. There are few or no moving parts in the scramjet. Achieving proper engine ignition and combustion, in a matter of milliseconds, is considered a key engineering challenge.
No easy ride
It has not been an easy ride for the X-43A program.
On June 2, 2001, the X-43A/booster combination -- called the stack -- veered out of control shortly after release from the NASA B-52 aircraft. The stack was destroyed by ground control less than 50 seconds after release. The failure occurred before the X-43A could be released.
A mishap study board cleared the way for a return-to-flight of the X-43A. No one contributing factor was singled out as being the prime cause of the vehicle's failure. However, those studying the failure underscored inaccuracies in computer and wind-tunnel tests to prove the X-43A/booster was flight worthy and ready for its maiden test.
Today’s successful flight is the work of a government-private sector partnership.
ATK GASL in Tullahoma, Tennessee, built both the vehicle and the engine, and Boeing Phantom Works in Huntington Beach, California, designed the thermal protection and propulsion control systems. The booster is a modified Pegasus rocket from Orbital Sciences Corporation of Chandler, Arizona.
NASA's Langley Research Center and Dryden Flight Research Center jointly conduct the Hyper-X program.

Sorry Matt and others,
I didn't make it to Delux on Saturday since I had dinner with friends then it was pretty late and decided to hit up Sonar around Midnight.
I will just have make a trip back in a a few months to see Matt spin at Resort.

I know exactly how they are. The funny thing is the whole debut of their song on the OC might be a hoax and a big joke. They are not into the whole media machine. It totally goes against evertything they stand for.
