(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!) dropped in 1987 from the Licensed to Ill album.
This mini film directed by Adam Yauch pits a future version of the Beastie Boys (John C. Reilly, Will Ferrell and Jack Black) against a youth version of the Beastie Boys (Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride), all in the vein of the original.

Aliph Jambox has created its first Bluetooth portable speaker. The Jambox is a great example of minimalist design at its very best. The top and bottom are constructed from hardwearing, tactile rubber which sandwich a metal grill that mimics the Jawbone Prime and Icon designs and brings an instinctive unity to the range.Each colour also has its own distinctive texturing: ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Blue Wave’, ‘Grey Hex’ and ‘Red Dot’.

Taaffe’s paintings are the slow product of wide-ranging meditations on the interrelation of forms and images in art, nature, architecture, and archaeology. Filtered through a critical and dynamic relation to the history of abstract painting, Taaffe’s oeuvre is remarkable for its visual exuberance and intricate craft.In a single work he might combine the gestural impulses of Action Painting with the mechanical processes of silk-screening, as well as relief printing, marbleizing, traditional gold-leaf illumination, and subtle collage processes that are entirely of his own invention. Through these elaborate methods he composes dazzling schemes of great eloquence and beauty, often combining deeply personal visual reflections with quotations and vestiges drawn from a vast array of world cultures.

In this exhibition Fischer presents three sculptures that further develop and explore themes seen throughout his work. The artist recently participated in the Hammer Projects series, installing a major sculptural work on the museum’s lobby wall.For years Fischer has reclaimed wooden floorboards from school gymnasiums throughout the Midwest. In his project at the Hammer he created a mural-like wall sculpture that existed as a labyrinth of roadways and paths of intersecting floorboards that refer back to the notion of the American road trip and an almost haphazard journey through nostalgia.
Here Fischer presents a work from this series, a wall sculpture that serves as a fragment of the larger floorboard installations. In this work it is as if the artist has taken a snap shot of a metaphorical roadmap as the work snakes down the wall into a corner and onto the floor, ending mid-path. Further fragmenting familiar objects Fischer presents two sculptures referencing a normative form, the boat.

Ron Galella is an American photographer, known as a pioneer paparazzo. Dubbed “Paparazzo Extraordinaire” by Newsweek and “the Godfather of the U.S. paparazzi culture” by Time Magazine and Vanity Fair, he is regarded as the most controversial celebrity photographer in the world.
Galella’s photographs can be seen in hundreds of publications including Time, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Vanity Fair, People, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, the New York Times and Life. He is widely-known for his obsessive treatment of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the subsequent legal battles associated with it. The New York Post called them “the most co-dependent celeb-paparazzi relationships ever.” In the famous 1972 free-speech trial “Galella v. Onassis”, she obtained a restraining order to keep Galella 150 feet away from her and her children.
Galella is the subject of a 2010 documentary film directed by Leon Gast entitled Smash His Camera.
