My Name Is M.C.A. And I Still Do As I Please.

I had last week's links finished before I learned of the death of Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, AKA MCA. I adore the Beastie Boys and I have listened to them since I was young and they were screaming about partying. Cancer is a piece of shit and I hate it. Check out this tribute in photos (Pajiba) and the obituary on the official Beasties page (Beastie Boys). Yauch did so much good with his time here and he will be missed by fans, friends, and family.

Good Lord, this is ADORABLE. A very intelligent kindergarten teacher has her class compose Tweets about what they do during the day. I can't even begin to count the skills that this helps them practice. Well done, Mrs. Aaron! (New York Times)
