• Head Spins: DJ Jenni Foxx

  Hurricane Wilma may have been devastating for a lot of folks, but not for Jenni Foxx. See, on that 2005 day after it hit, she happened to have a scheduled DJ audition at the Clevelander. But there was no power. And a few hours later, when power was restored, Foxx got a call from the owner. Seems the Clevelander's resident DJ couldn't make it across the Causeway, so Jenni got the nod, based on looks and charm alone.Soon after, a similar thing happened at Buck 15, when Foxx got pulled in last-minu

• Partying at Buck 15's Electric Lounge

  A few weeks ago,as woman named Doris with a thick French accent called me at the office (305-571-72).  "I have been in America for six months," she said. "I am a DJ from Europe and I am throwing a party at Buck 15." She then told me that she had seen my Scary Mary video  and asked if I was into fetish. "My girlfriend Heather is into fetish ...maybe you would like to host the event?" She continued, "I can't pay you, but you can drink all night for free ... and I will put your name on t

• Saturday Night: AC/DC at BankAtlantic Center

  Sayre BermanAC/DCSaturday, December 20, 2008BankAtlantic Center, SunriseBetter Than: Volume itself.To say that AC/DC were loud Saturday night is kinda like saying the sun set and the sky turned dark; a statement of fact, perhaps, but pretty much unnecessary. To say that AC/DC were louder than any show I've seen since I caught Motörhead at NYC's old Ritz, however, is saying something indeed. Why? Because Motörhead were so loud I saw colors; that's why. Not colors from the stage lights, mind you

Plenty of people seemed to be exiting, late-night, from Cheech & Chong's show at the Fillmore, around the corner.  While Norton regularly sells out large venues around

• Louisville's Finest Sludge Rockers, Coliseum, to Play Churchill's Tomorrow Night

  via www.myspace.com/coliseumMellowness might be anathema to Louisville's Coliseum, judging by its reckless velocity and nihilistic harangues. "My lungs are filled with fumes...There's no air in this city/I need something pure," sings Ryan Patterson on 2004's "This Mind Locked Inside This Body." The band's anti-authority lyrics and relentless backbeat qualify it as punk enough, and it occasionally unleashes the sort of reverberating sludge riffs that make metal stoners swoon. But Coliseum i

  DegenerationSomehow I didn't notice that Pennsylvania's War Pigs are playing at Goo tonight, Wednesday May 27. Think of if Black Sabbath met Motorhead but they grew up listening to 1990's HC and post-HC. Amazing shredding, raw intensity, deep riffs - it's all fucking in there. If you haven't picked up their release Degeneration, do so, if this brief description tickles your fancy. It tickles mine pretty damn good. All of a sudden there is a bunch of stuff to do on a Wednesday that doesn't involv

• Archive Diver: Decline Of Western Civilization II, The Metal Years - Grove Cinema Ad From 1988

  image via Miami New Times Archives week of August 3 - 9, 1988​According to Hart Baur from SKUM, Grove Cinema "was the only theatre in Miami that had a liquor license," which means that if you were old enough to have a drink in 1988 you could have done so while watching The Decline of Western Civilization Part II - The Metal Years. The movie is a Penelope Spheeris production (she later directed Wayne's World, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Little Rascals) and features interviews and performances

While the rest of the world  was panicking about the swine flu outbreak, the San Francisco-based songwriter was holed up in a sound studio in Mexico City, recording what ranks as the most staggering rock record of 2009. From the blistering opening chords of "Sonny Liston's Blues" to the plaintive refrain of "Le

• MP3 of the Day: Black Metal Soundsystem Mix from Mixhell, Playing White Room November 7

  ​It's enough to make metalhead purists wail and gnash their teeth. Half of the producer/DJ duo Mixhell is Iggor Cavalera, who co-founded seminal Brazilian groove-metal act Sepultura when he was just 15 years old. For the next 20 years, he toured the world and sold out stadiums as the band's drummer, until a 2006 epiphany that came unexpected, at least to outsiders. He changed the spelling of his name from the original "Igor" to its present, two-G iteration, quit Sepultura, and, apparently, dis

  ​The season for spooking is here, and to help awaken your inner ghoul who's been lying dormant, here is a list of ten songs to celebrate the holiday. Some are obvious, some have loose, vague, or quirky affiliations with Halloween themes (you'll be hard-pressed to find some of these on other Halloween top ten lists), and others are just local horrorific awesomeness. This is by no means an end-all Halloween list. In fact, such a list would probably be about 70 percent Misfits. So if you're t
