  • New Times on Plum TV (Shameless Self-Promotion)

    When Plum TV execs asked us to appear on their new show, Juice, I asked the producer if she was sure. See, Plum is a classy affair, and we aren't 944 (not that we'd want to be that hot mess of a magazine) or Ocean Drive; we write about stripper murders and mixed martial arts being super gay. The producer reassured us they wanted to give the show an edge, and we were free to talk about anything we wanted. Natch, we decided to go for it and gave them what they asked for.

  • Chuck Rules, Bill Bites

    Today Bill Cooke at Random Pixels took a shot at New Times and editorial jefe Chuck Strouse. He wrote: I used to love Miami New Times. When I lived in Coconut Grove I knew where the paper was delivered on Wednesday and usually snagged a copy by early afternoon.

  • South Florida Voters and Winners in the Village Voice's New Pazz Jop Poll

    ​It's January, which means it's time for another edition of the Village Voice's annual Pazz and Jop poll of music critics. Yes, it's probably the latest, high-profile wrap-up of the best music of 2009, but it's also the biggest in sheer number of voices -- some 697 voters submitted ballots this year. No South Florida acts really cracked the upper reaches of the best albums poll (I'm sure you're all wailing and gnashing your teeth in disbelief at that piece of news. Okay, so the Postmarks'
