Beastie Boys "Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win"

[Phanarchist]

2nd single from Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, Featuring Santigold, goes for adds on 6/21. I like it a lot more than "Make Some Noise" but I doubt it tops it on the charts.

Hmm, I thought they were going with "Lee Majors Come Again," which would have been my choice. I'll have to listen to this song to see what it sounds like.

^ Wasn't that already a promo single like 2 years ago?

I'm thrilled that they are going with this. It's perfect for the summer.

Not sure. I went back to the album and listened to this. It may do decently well since it has that reggae feel to it like Sublime with Rome or The Dirty Heads.

Heard this morning. Not into Dance music at all, but this has a good feel.

It's one of my favorite songs on the record, for sure, but I just don't see it doing that well, especially since Santigold has more "face" time than the guys and she's not exactly established on Alternative radio. I'd be pleasantly surprised if this even made it very far into the Top 40.

Unfortunately, aside from "Lee Majors," which might fare a little bit better, I don't hear any more hits on this album, great as it may be on the whole.

[Coin-Operated [Boy]]

I'm pleased this is a single. Santi is still the quirky and fascinating presence that she usually is, and the collaboration is absolutely apropos. The album as a whole is really good; though it's not a career milestone, it's still brimming with songs that remind listeners of those lofty highs.
