These are the type of gifts from the cosmos that pop up in the Internet Age that bring true joy into my world. Dirtybird’s own Justin Martin, just for the hell of it, decided to compile a retrospective drum & bass mixtape of some classics — as well as some new dirtybird stuff — and [...]

From the DB5 to the DBS, why 007 loves his Astons
Nicolas Stecher jumped in the Aston Martin DBS Volante Carbon Edition to find out why Mr. Bond loves his Astons so. With 510 horsepower and a 190 mph top speed growling forth from its 5.9-liter V-12, that should seem obvious. But despite — or perhaps, even because of — its many quirks, the car belongs [...]

Glen E. Friedman's photo tribute to Adam "MCA" Yauch
Wow — can you even imagine what it would’ve been like to be at the above party? I mean, The Beastie Boys clinking glasses with Sean Penn, David Lee Roth and Billy Idol? At the same time?! Jesus Christ I can’t even imagine the 1980s-level debauchery — you can almost see Billy Idol standing behind [...]

Acclaimed musician, humanitarian, activist, Beastie Boy & intrepid fighter for your right to party
We’d be remiss if we didn’t take a moment out to give thanks to Adam Yauch for all he’s given us over the years. There are few bands who I defend as strongly as the Beastie Boys — a group who has not one or two but three albums in the Madman’s Best 100 Albums [...]

Start off the new year off with a bikini-clad model each month
Brooklyn Decker is everywhere these days. You’d think being in an Adam Sandler movie would be enough to completely destroy all artistic cred, but she’ll probably do more damage when she graces the big screen in the film version of the board game Battleship next year. Until that piece of cinematic turd drops on the [...]
