• Pretty in the City - C'mon, Get Happy With Clinique

  If you whiz through Dadeland Mall's parking lot anytime this weekend, you might be pleasantly surprised at what you encounter. The cell-phone wielding SUV moms will be smiling, instead of giving you the finger as they steal your parking spot. The typically sullen mallrat teens will have a spring in their step and an unusually sunny disposition. Is it the spirit of Christmas? Kind of. Thanks to Clinique's Happy Weekend, holiday shopping might actually be fun!

• Top 10 Metal Albums of 2008

  In a year worthy of your rage, metal delivered in spades. What with the economy circling the drain and Sarah Palin coming down from the tundra and then refusing to go back, 2008's been the kind of year that really makes you want to smash your head into walls or punch random strangers in the face. Good thing there were so many awesome records available to serve as a soundtrack for exactly that kind of behavior. The ten discs below are just the tip of a very big, very heavy iceberg. Metal seems to

• Commission Gets Fat on Avocadoes

  If you thought the Federal ethics charges against Mary McCarty and her band of merry Palm Beach County and City Commissioners was scandalous enough, you haven't heard what the California Avocado Commission has been up to in the past three years. McCarty, after all, only accepted a few free hotel rooms and pushed a couple of jobs in her husband's path. But according to a state audit reported in today's New York Times, the folks who are paid by California farmers to promote everybody's favorite

  Let's say you're a smooth jazz lover who was away for the holidays and tuned into your favorite radio station Love 94 at exactly 4:10 p.m. today for the first time since Christmas hoping to hear the smooth, comforting sounds of Kenny G finally back on the airwaves after the station went bonkers for Santa. Instead you'd hear Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." No, you haven't been Rick Roll'd, this is just what the station plays now. Well, actually their new format mixes up semi-current ino

• WMC Preview: Q&A with Carles of HipsterRunoff.com

  Carles, is that you?When we heard that the "blog worth blogging about" Hipster Runoff was hosting a party during Winter Music Conference, we admittedly thought WTF. Not because it's a bad thing, but because this means we might be able to meet the man (or woman, we aren't sure) behind the site. He goes by the name Carles (or CRLS, because vowels aren't alt), but we don't know much more about him except for what our sister paper, the Village Voice, was about to get out of him when it interviewed h

• WMC 2009: A Party Worth Blogging About? Not Really

  Jose D. DuranIf there is nobody at a pool party can you still call it a pool party? Just returned from the Gansevoort South. Music editor Arielle Castillo and I were at the A Party Worth Blogging About event by EatSkeet.com and HipsterRunoff.com. So in honor of HRO I'm going to ask a few philosophical questions:Do pool parties need people in order for it to be a 'partie'?If someone plugs in an iPod are they still DJing?How many children can a $9 Heineken feed?I don't think I would be so critical

So of course we're in the running to host the 2013 game along with Phoenix and New Orleans. The New Orleans Saints and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation are reportedly working hard to woo the league before they start voting on the matter on May 19th.

   Yes, it's no secret I hang out at the Poorhouse in Fort Lauderdale a lot. But here's a new event worth mentioning at the bar: My Pod Mondays. It started a few weeks ago and is hosted by the place's legendary bartender, Mr. Jon Owens. People interested in putting their iPods up for scrutiny make up playlists for the night, and hand them over. One iPod gets turned on and played, but if Owens thinks the song selection sucks, the iPod gets turned off, and the next one gets plugged in. Yes, cro

Most labels and publicists send private download links these days, which is actually an excellent idea. Promo CDs are just going to get put on a music media geek's iPod or computer anyways, and it saves all the envelope-tearing and physical sorting on the receiver's end. Plus, of course, it's green and all that.The occasional CD still
