Still fighting for our right to party after 25 years, the Beastie Boys have announced the track listing and release details for their new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2. Where is Part 1, you ask? Well it was due to come out first, but Adam Yauch – AKA MCA – ’s cancer diagnosis threw a spanner in the works and they decided to re-sequence the tracks for both albums.

Now back fighting fit, Yauch says of the tracks: “Strange but true, the final sequence for Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 works best with all its songs replaced by the 16 tracks we originally had lined up in pretty much the same order we had them in for Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1. So we’ve come full circle.” Indeed only the track ‘Bundt Cake’ doesn’t make it to Part 2 of Hot Sauce Committee from Part 1. Confused? So are we, but never let it be said the Beasties didn’t like a joke. The album is due out in Autumn next year.
