The Beastie Boys announced plans for a vocal version of the previously instrumental album, The Mix-up, according to Billboard. Adam Yauch (aka MCA) says the B-Boys have their eye on collaborating with M.I.A., Lily Allen and Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker. Apparently the Beasties have a thing for the British. Yauch also spoke about releasing a visual version of the album featuring footage he shot on tour. Now word whether it’ll be called “Awesome; We Fuckin’ Shot This.”
