Paul’s Boutique 25th Anniversary

Totally off-topic but I can’t let the 25th anniversary of the Beastie Boys’ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ pass without a mention. I’ll leave you with some links and stories commemorating the milestone and simply say this: If, like me, you were born between 1965 and 1985 and you were cool, there’s a good chance that this was a highly meaningful record for you.

The Beastie boys were our Beatles and Paul’s Boutique was our Sgt Peppers.
