Episodic (Short) Version Debuts 9 p.m. EST at FunnyorDie.com Followed by Premiere of Short and Long Versions at BeastieBoys.com

“G.I. Joe can suck it–the Beasties make way better action figures in this hilarious Spike Jonze-helmed epic (A+)”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

(July 18, 2011–NEW YORK, NY) Starring action figures of Ad-Rock, Mike D, MCA and guest vocalist Santigold, Beastie Boys’ thrill-packed, Spike-Jonze-directed “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” will premiere in its short “episodic” version 9 p.m. EST tonight at FunnyorDie.com.

The premiere of the extended version of “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” will follow as of 12:01 A.M. PST/3:01 A.M. EST at BeastieBoys.com where both versions will be available to view. “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” finds Beastie Boys and Santi pursued by a team of assassins hell bent on their termination. Over the course of the epic clip, our heroes make one death defying escape after another, traveling across land, sea and sky as they elude and combat snipers, zombies, sharks and more.

“Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” is the second video from Beastie Boys’ universally acclaimed Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (Capitol), the first being the extended video for “Make Some Noise” a/k/a Fight For Your Right Revisited, which was directed by the band’s own Adam “MCA” Yauch and which TIME magazine described as having more stars “than in a Judd Apatow flick.”

Having traveled through time and space in previous videos, Beastie Boys enter yet another new frontier in the brand new “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win”: Under the direction of Spike Jonze (who has previously worked with the band on the classic “Sabotage” clip among others), Ad-Rock, Mike D, MCA and guest vocalist Santigold become action figures. GI B Boys, if you will.

The transformation comes with a price: “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” finds Beastie Boys and Santi pursued by a team of assassins hell bent on their termination. Over the course of the epic clip, our heroes make one death defying escape after another, traveling across land, sea and sky as they elude and combat snipers, zombies, sharks and more.

“Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” is the second video from Beastie Boys’ universally acclaimed Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (Capitol), the first being the extended video for “Make Some Noise” a/k/a Fight For Your Right Revisited, which was directed by the band’s own Adam “MCA” Yauch and which Time magazine described as having more stars “than in a Judd Apatow flick.”

Having learned that the clean version of their new Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (out May 3 on Capitol) had leaked moments after the album’s historic video stream viewed live from Madison Square Garden by over 100,000 fans, Beastie Boys have responded in kind with a full length stream of the explicit version of  the album at http://hotsaucecommittee.com/

The band commented on the leak, “Good people, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the ‘clean’ version of our new album… has leaked. So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris we are making the full explicit aka filthy dirty nasty version available for streaming on our site. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony. Enjoy Kikoos for life!”

The full uncensored stream follows on the heels of the Beastieboys.com premiere of the extended video for first single “Make Some Noise” aka “Fight For Your Right Revisited.” Directed by the band’s own Adam Yauch, “Fight For Your Right Revisited” unveils an epic tale featuring Beastie Boys of the past, present and future for the world to see starring, as The Daily Swarm put it, “every other funny person in the world.”

Hello My Friends

While I’m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated.

I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future.
