Google Music is a great way to listen to your music library without having to store it all in multiple locations. Great, that is, until it turns on you. Google Music has swapped out some users' hardcore awesome explicit versions of songs with their lame radio edit counterparts. Some users have even reported their clean versions of songs being replaced by the explicit versions, which can be a problem if you have kids and an affinity for the Beastie Boys, or maybe it can just make your day a little edgier.

In honor of the passing of Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch, otherwise known as MCA, James Winters and family made this adorable video of little kids reenacting the music video for "Sabotage."

A Battlestar Galactica and Beastie Boys fan created a tribute to both in "Galactica: Sabotage," a nearly shot-for-shot replication of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" music video with clips from BSG. We'd describe our attitude towards the geekdom-meets-hip-hop conceit as "guarded": not that it isn't a great idea, but we've been burned by it too many times before. But this is truly well done -- and the Beastie Boys are huge geeks anyway. Bonus points to the mashup creator for choosing "Sabotage" as the mashup song over "Intergalactic," because come on, that would've been hokey. Video after the jump:
