Money Mark!
First of all, it’s no secret that I love Money Mark. You can tell by the vinyl I have as well as the fact that I already said $Mark kicks ass right here. Anyhow… I came across this video of him playing live - not only playing live but playing guitar!
Watch that video and then try and reconcile the music he makes with his Beastie Boys persona, exemplified by Sabotage:
In addition to doing a backroll over the keyboard he eventually has to pick it up and stand it on it’s side so he can play it while screaming into the mic. I remember when he first started going nuts, he actually accidentally knocked the keyboard off the table - they later had to duct tape it to the table. Clearly - he’s toned it down a little recently, but it still kicks butts.

To me his solo stuff sounds just like the bboys except with his vocals. Anyway, Money has always been a show stopper. You have to do SOMETHING behind the keyboard right? The only person behind a keyboard that was crazier had to have been Trent Resnor of Nine Inch Nails during the very first Lalapalooza. By the last song there was pieces of plastic keyboard all over the stage.

I don’t remember that show at all…. sigh. Lalapalooooooza was a looong time ago. Thanks for making me feel old again.

Meanwhile I can’t remember what I did last week,but Lalapalooza? I remember. Talk about selective memory.
