If you haven't picked up your tickets to the Westword Music Showcase yet, here's another reason to get on it: Karl Denson's Tiny Universe presents a Tribute to the Beastie Boys at this year's Showcase. This is going to be absolutely sick! Page down to see what you have in store. If this isn't the best value of the summer -- Girl Talk, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Battles, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Baywood, plus 150 of the hottest local acts, including Churchill and My Body Sings Electric -- we don't know what is.
