I’m not a huge Beastie Boys fan, but if you haven’t checked out their latest video release “Make Some Noise – Extended Cut,” they have some pretty incredible cameos in that video. “Make Some Noise” is the opening track in their new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, and it might be my favorite right now.

My Morning Jacket is also releasing a new CD at the end of May, and they have a song called “Circuital” that reminds me of  warm weather – even though we aren’t getting a lot of that out here in Minnesota.

It’s hard to try and keep up with the thriving local music scene but I enjoy listening to the local band, Trampled by Turtles. They have a song called “Wait So Long” that you should definitely check out!

When it comes to pre-game music I like to start it off with some “old school” rap and then warm it up with some techno. The latest song that has been killing my battery on my iPod is “Cracks (flux pavilion remix)” by Freestylers. The Gophers like this one and it sounds way better when its played at TCF Bank Stadium.

I also usually play a couple songs from Rage Against the Machine’s Evil Empire before taking the field. It’s a classic album that just puts me in the right place before a game.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I am a huge fan of Kid Cudi. Revof, and Mr. Rager have been on repeat for the past couple of months!
