In preparation for next week's 20th Anniversary reissue of Paul's Boutique, The Beastie Boys have reworked the homepage of their website to include a 3 Minute Rule Ping-Ping Simulator (an ode to "3 Minute Rule," a track in which the Beasties recorded live bouncing ping-ping balls), a cowbell and record-scratch activated by your mouse finger, a section where fans are invited to upload a photo and share their favorite Paul's Boutique memories, a Got More _______, Than ________ feature--paying homage to the Beastie Boys signature rhyme scheme in Paul's Boutique ("I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh"), Beastie photos and videos from the era, and a link to download free audio commentary of MCA, Mike D, and Adrock breaking down the seminal hip-hop album track-for-track.
