B-Boys back in hip hop heaven with lo-tech instrumental stew

We're partying like it's 1994 here at Uncut this afternoon, because the new Beastie Boys album has arrived. It's called "The Mix-Up", and we're just grooving amiably to track seven, "Off The Grid".

Plus details of forthcoming new album

It's their only UK festival appearence

The rap trio who defined cool in the '90s for want-not-to-be-middle-class white boys have probably released this two-disc video compilation just in time, before they become horribly passé. Fair play to them, though, these are 18 of the best pop promos ever filmed, from Spike Jonze's cop show pastiche for "Sabotage" through to the robot-battling epic "Intergalactic" and the '60s action spoof for "Body Movin'" (featuring a great chicken-in-the-face scene). Camp as hell. Are we sure they're not gay?

Starring U2, The Beastie Boys, REM, Guns N'Roses, The Sugarcubes, Tom Waits, The Fall and The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu
