We just received a press release that simply stated: "This Saturday, 4/23 (tomorrow) Beastie Boys Make Some Noise MSG. Tip off is 10:35 a.m." A similar message was sent out to fans this morning, which has started a discussion on the band's message board. Needless to say, it has left us and other people of the internet totally confused. So, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Here's what we've come up with:
- The Beastie Boys are performing at Madison Square Garden at an absurdly early hour.
- The Beastie Boys are announcing an upcoming MSG show via their website at 10:35 a.m. tomorrow.
- The Beastie Boys are going to announce their upcoming tour's sponsor as Monosodium glutamate.
Clearly, we need some help, and we left our orphan Annie decoder ring at home today. Any ideas?
While we wait for that video to live, watch the not-yet-released full-length version of the "Make Some Noise" video, over here (while it's still around).

Yes, Stevie Wonder is playing MSG. No, you can't afford tickets. See these shows instead.
LCD Soundsystem also uses synthesizers. Ok, maybe not the same thing. But it's still a great month for music in NYC.
