Is it just me who thinks the Beastie Boys’ videos are all overrated? Sure, they take a bunch of 70’s tropes and string them together, but (and I say this as a big fan of that ridiculous 70s style) that by itself doesn’t make a good video.
However, Bloc Party got it right. In their video Flux, they do pretty much what the BB’s were doing in Intergalactic, but do it Properly. Have a look.

Frankly, I've never understood the appeal of the Beastie Boys in any sense -- they always seemed like a joke band (geeky white guys rapping is barely a step up from rapping grannies) that stuck around for so long that everybody just gave up and accepted them as normal.
The Bloc Party video is a thing of beauty, though.
Why don't you just embed the damned thing and if people want a better quality video they can click through to youtube themselves?
