Why don't you remix the Beastie Boys?

The Beastie Boys are posting acapella tracks -- just the vocals in other words, along with BPM
info -- from their songs and encouraging their fans to make noncommercial remixes of them. A new
track goes live every Friday.

3 the Hard Way | 093.00 bpm |
Alive | N/A bpm |
An Open Letter To NYC | 093.75 bpm |
Brr Stick 'Em | 102.00 bpm |
Ch-Check It Out | 115.00 bpm |
Ch-Check It Out (Just Blaze) | 107.00 bpm |
Oh Word? | 098.00 bpm |
Rhyme the Rhyme Well | 100.00 bpm |
Right Right Now Now | 101.00 bpm |
Root Down | N/A bpm |
Triple Trouble | 110.00 bpm |

Seems more and more artists are doing this. I think David Bowie was one of the first back in the early 90s. But recently the British artist M.I.A. and her label XL Recordings have offered this way for fans to rework existing tracks.
