zombie trouble

The Beastie Boys have a cappella tracks for download so that you can create your own remixes.

Here's my version of "Triple Trouble," which I've renamed "Zombie Trouble" (mp3, 3.3M). All the music loops are courtesy of Garageband.

(See also dj BC's The Beastles for an example of someone who really knows what he's doing.)

It's great! I have to say I'm not a big Beastie Boys fan myself; I find the beats and the delivery of the lyrics really abrasive, to the point that their music can make me anxious. I like how you put mellow musical loops in it -- it sort of counters the vocal delivery and anxiety production, if that makes any sense.

Thanks, y'all! There are lots of other remixes (and discussions of remixing) at the Beastie Boys' discussion forum.
