Okay, we’re not claiming to be geographical geniuses or anything, but when we hear about a music festival dubbed “Hialeah Fest,” we just assumed it would take place in Hialeah, right?That’s not the case for this year’s festival, which will bring in about 20 bands so far, among them Ketchy…
The name Philip Selway probably sounds familiar: He’s been the drummer for Radiohead since the band’s inception, but a lot of people don’t know that he often did backup vocals for the band, too. Selway decided to branch out on his own to make his first solo album, Familial, but…

We weren’t really sure what to make of the announcement that French pop duo Daft Punk scoring the Disney film Tron. Would they stick to their trademark dance worthy beats, or compromise it all for those cute and memorable mouse ears?Once we got a peek of some of the track…
We all freaked out when we heard tickets for Saturday’s Crystal Castles show at Grand Central sold out everywhere. But alas, our prayers have been answered. A new batch of $40 tickets have been made available for purchase.Only about 200 of them were released, so once those are gone, there…
We’d be lying if we said we weren’t a little excited for next Friday’s Kings of Leon show at the Cruzan Amphhitheatre. They’ve made sure to keep us excited — though tickets went on sale about a year ago — by announcing news of a new album recently. Now to…
Stop, drop, shut ’em down, and open up shop: We all remember jamming to a little DMX back in the day. He’s no stranger to drama, and loves himself a little controversy. Stints in jail, feuds with Ja Rule, and his latest: Picking on our local Florida talent. DMX spoke…
Remember in Old School where Vince Vaughn’s character is helping his entire fraternity cheat on an exam by whispering into his shirt? Well, that kind of technology isn’t strictly for spy movies or Back to the Future anymore…
Rihanna’s always turned heads with her choices in fashion, boyfriends, and song title choices (umbrella, anyone?). But now we think she might be attempting to change genres with her fifth studio album, Loud.”Yes it is called LOUD,” Rihanna told fans during a live chat recently. “Get LOUD everybody. Get crazy…
You probably know Swedish pop songstress Robyn best by her debut dance hit “Show Me Love.” She took over the dance airwaves with other songs like “Do You Know (What it Takes)” and “With Every Heartbeat,” too. Her songs have been so sugary in the past that they bordered on…
Indie pop darlings Belle and Sebastian haven’t released an album since 2006.

The MTV Video Music Awards have morphed into somewhat of a spectacle recently. Some groundbreaking pop culture news is usually broken, some rapper embarrasses a pop starlet, and some cheesy comedian always has a tendency to tell a joke that’s borderline too far.The VMAs are trying to class it up…
We’re finding this really hard to admit, but yeah, we watch Jersey Shore. Sure, it’s kind of a train wreck, but aside from the predictable cat fights and nonstop drama, there’s now at least one other reason we can think of to not change the channel: The music. MTV has…
T.I. has been all over the news this week. First, his latest film, Takers, is doing amazingly well, reaching #1 at the box office. Then he and wife Tameka Cottle were arrested on Wednesday, allegedly for drug possession, just a month after their secret Miami wedding. But before any of…
Have you looked at today’s calendar? Yes, it’s 09/02/10, and a lot of die-hard pop culture fans have dubbed today “90210 day.” They’re donning their best plaids, babydoll dresses, and floral prints to honor their favorite 90’s TV show with pride. But what does it all mean, exactly? We’ve all…
It’s been a while since we’ve heard any new music news from the Coldplay camp. There have been talks of a new album to be released sometime in 2010, but as frontman Chris Martin said at yesterday’s Apple Music Conference in San Francisco, they’re “working on it.”Good news for die-hard…
In so far down the line, you probably won’t remember news: Lady Gaga has chosen who will be her opening act for her 2011 Monster Ball tour, and more importantly, her South Florida shows on April 12 and 13. Equally dance-worthy, but not enough to upstage Gaga herself, she’s selected…
We’d like to apologize in advance for getting the above song stuck in your head. But it was the early ’90s, and just like everybody else, we were afraid to “turn around” and wanted to find out “all that she wanted.” Ace of Base was the Swedish pop band that…

There’s a special place in our hearts for punk/noise pop enthusiasts Wavves. Maybe it’s because their latest album is named King of the Beach, and the band’s name is Wavves. Can’t get more South Florida than that, right? Except for the fact that they’re from the West Coast, and not…
