Pre-sale happens tomorrow at 10am, the password is MIXUP.
Because the Beasties are one of our favorite bands ever, we will be giving away a Beastie Boys prize pack for one lucky winner. Just register to comment and then leave your favorite Beasties rhyme in the comments. The whole song is not necessary, just your favorite lines.
The winner will receive the following:
1 copy of "The Mix-Up" CD
1 copy of "The In Sound From Way Out!" CD
