Your Dad wants to fight for the right to paaaarty!

Forget the tools and ties for dear old Dad this Father's Day. What he really wants is the Beastie Boys' new tunes on vinyl -- or so the message goes from a new video uploaded, on June 15, by the band, on Youtube. 

Because of an internet leak of the Beastie Boys' Hot Sauce Committee Part Two album, the band was forced to stream the entire thing (the explicit version), on their website, before their actual June release date. By the end of April, the CDs and digital downloads of the album were (and are) made available on iTunes, Amazon, and Best Buy. The focus for this new video, however, is on the sale of the vinyl format, which Mike D. says "...will be slightly different than the other formats. But please know that our corps. of engineers and experts have been on this, making sure the wait is worth it and that I can personally tell you that in my humble opinion, the test pressing of the vinyl sounded banging on my home hi fi."
