"Gimme Some Truth" Book

Sean Lennon will contribute to an experimental project on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label. Sean, along with Money Mark, Sonic Youth, Bis and Cibo Matto, take a crack at "At Home With the Groovebox" which is scheduled for release in March. "At Home" features each artist creating a track by using the Groovebox, a compact, programmable synthesizer containing samples from some of the most popular sound machines. Each artist was to "go off with this 'band in a box' and then collect and distribute the results."

Grand Royal plans to put a new Real Audio track up on their website each week until the album's release. The full track listing is:

1) Jean Jacques Perry - 'The Groovy Leprechauns'
2) Buffalo Daughter - '303 + 606 = ACID'
3) John McEntire - 'J.I.H.A.D.'
4) Air - 'Planet Vega'
5) Pavement - 'Robyn Turns 26'
6) Money Mark - 'Insects Are All Around Us'
7) Beck - 'Boyz'
8) Sean Lennon - 'Winged Elephants'
9) Gershon Kingsley - 'Popcorn'
10) Sonic Youth - 'Campfire'
11) Bis - 'Oh My'
12) Cibo Matto - 'We Love Our Lawyers'
13) Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - 'Today I Started Celebrating Again'
14) Dick Hyman - 'Glass Slipper'
