• Art Basel Week: Nodzzz, Matt and Kim, Dec. 4

  Matt and KimSome of the best music presented this week comes courtesy of the ongoing Converse-sponsored Kill Your Idols event in the Design District. An ode to current movers and shakers keeping the original punk spirit alive (albeit in mutated, advanced forms), the space features a photo exhibit by Eileen Polk, as well as flyers, posters, and various limited-edition goodies. Oh yeah - and a totally free, open to the public show every night at 9 p.m. Up first tonight is the Frisco trio Nodzzz,

• Art Basel Week: Pink Reason and Times New Viking, Dec. 7

  The last of the Art Basel week shows at the Kill Your Idols space kicks off with a set from Brooklyn-based Pink Reason, currently a trio but really the brainchild of Kevin Failure, the band's frontman. It sounds a little like Joy Division or another post-punk act put through a shredder, churned in a drum machine, and tossed into a faraway field, where it still remains audible. Um, best heard rather than read about. The Columbus, Ohio-based Times New Viking, meanwhile, released one of the greates

• South Florida Makes Big, Queer Reality TV Show History

  In the event that you've had better things to do than watch MTV deteriorate into a steaming sewer of reality programming, you may have missed South Florida's double-time queer cast previewed on Real World Brooklyn. The show's 21st season premiers January 7 and will follow its first-ever transgender character - a Broward male-to-female named Katelynn - along with a gay Miami Beach dolphin trainer (the mammal, not the team) as they "stop being polite and start getting real" in front of a tilte

• Miami According to Brooklyn: Internet Shit-Talkers Are Spineless

  To read past installments of Miami According to Brooklyn, click here.This week, we're talking about how these fucking jackass kids hide behind their fucking computer monitor screens. First of all, we all know you're a jackass if you're talking shit on the Internet, and you don't have enough balls to go up to somebody and tell them what you really think. Obviously you're terrified, so you feel that this is an easy way out, and you're able to be more of a man, so to speak, but you're not. You're j

  We're two months away from the monstrosity known as Winter Music Conference. While we're hearing of plenty of parties being scale back this year, we still know it's going to be amazing. But again, that's still two months away, so for now we are going to get excited about what this weekend has in store for us.Tonight, Brooklyn DJ/producer Drop the Lime returns to the Magic City for a bass-heavy set at The Vagabond's Thursday night party, Shake. Local turntablist DJ Craze will also be on hand to r

• The non-kosher kosher hot dog riot

  "I don't want to get stabbed for a hot dog" might be the quote of the year. Last week, a riot- the definition for that term seems to be getting looser by the news story, but we'll roll with it- broke out at a Brooklyn Shwarama King when Hasidic customers discovered the place was serving chicken hot dogs falsely advertised as kosher. The manager, Yosef Baron, had to fend off an angry mob with his meat-trimming electric knife. It got Short Order wondering: how do we know that what's billed as

• South Florida According to Brooklyn: The South Florida Bike Scene is on the Upswing

  photo by Justin Namon, thepopnessparty.comTo read past installments of South Florida According to Brooklyn, click here.I want to talk about the bike scene in South Florida again, because there have been some really good events lately. We just did open sprints two weeks ago at Keirin Cycles in Miami Beach. Then this past weekend in Ft. Lauderdale we had the Call to Cranks event. It was a bicycle weekend done by Jared who does Heart of Gold clothing line. One day we had an alley cat race. The next

• The A.R.E. Weapons Show at PS14 on Thursday is a No-Brainer

  via myspace.com/areweapons​"Electroclash" is just a hipster punchline at this point, but around the turn of the millennium, it was this new, fresh niche thing birthed at the old club night Berliniamsburg, at the old club Luxx (now Trash Bar, I think) in W-burg Brooklyn. (Also, back then it was still kind of ... spicy to frequent establishments around the Lorimer stop of the L.) A.R.E. Weapons was one of the original bands to emerge from that scene. But where a lot of their peers were dripping

  ​On Friday, September 4, The Talent Farm (a.k.a. Broward-Palm Beach New Times' Best Music Venue) is hosting Every You's CD release party. Every You plays a cleaned up style of radio friendly rock and roll tinged with lyrics the heartfelt, emotional lyrics you'd expect from the genre. The Fort Lauderdale based rock/power-pop band are set to drop A Change of Scene (which you can pre-order at their site right now) starting at 6:30 p.m. As is the norm with Talent Farm shows, a slew of local bands

• Does Brooklyn H2O Make for a Better Bagel? Curious Cook Harold McGee Weighs in on The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.

  Jackie SayetNow that's a bagel we can sink our teeth into... This one's from Roasters N' Toasters, who sources its boiled babies from Bagel Express. We can say it does some of the best nova in Miami. The best bagel? The jury's still out, although we're partial to The Bagel Emporium.​Is there something in Brooklyn water that makes a bagel great and authentically New York-tasting?  Steve Fassberg thinks so, but others find a hole in this theory, particularly our local bagel shops and so
