    We smell a rat, and two songs written about said rat


    The Beastie Boys have revealed more details about their forthcoming album The Mix Up, including the final tracklist and the fact that the album will consist entirely of instrumentals. They also report that one of the titles they were originally considering was Thick Like Beyonce’s Leg.

    "That didn’t make the final cut for some reason," Mike D told XFM radio. "Beyonce’s very talented and beautiful and she’s probably stronger than we are... We didn’t want to have any problems with her."

    The Mix Up is due out June 26th on Capitol Records.

    This is the tracklisting:

    01 Be For My Name
    02 14th St. Break
    03 Suco De Tangerina
    04 The Gala Event
    05 Electric Worm
    06 Freaky Hijiki
    07 Off the Grid
    08 The Rat Cage
    09 The Melee
    10 Dramastically Different
    11 The Cousin Of Death
    12 The Kangaroo Rat
