Just got this link in my Facebook inbox regarding a track for free download from Blu Jemz and Induce. The track is definitely a little off the beaten path. It features a plodding, eight-bit-style bass line and some funny and ridiculous spoken entreaties to a lost love. The chorus is…

Forget about the Aqua Girl thing and that Just Add Water party. Don’t think about the Standard and that rad view of the bay they have.This is the real Pool Party. The last time Pool Party played was at Sweat Records’ COLTOBERFEST 305, last October. No one has seen or…
Every young co-ed that I knew when I was a young man in college loved Leonard Cohen. I’m not sure if he fit some weird Elektra complex type of role in their lives or what, but they couldn’t get enough of his deep monotone vocals and sung-spoken verses. Of course,…
Miami’s very own Awesome New Republic continues on their steamroller release schedule with a follow up to this year’s Rational Geographic, Vol 1., the aptly named Vol. 2. This band is constantly on the move, despite a recent injury to B-Rob’s foot, with the help of the hustling fellows at…
Looks like Afrobeta has caught up with the times and have started a weblog, frequently shortened to “blog.” This is an online journal of sorts that may be made available to the public or to only a select subset of readers, depending on the author’s choice. In this case, the…

Looks like West Palm Beach street punk band the Clockouts have a new CD out called Toxic,and I am listening to it. It’s a grittier step away from the more pop-punk projects that three of the four members usually pump out under the guise of the Ridicules. And yes, that…
Mikey Ramirez and the folks over at Radioactive Records will celebrate eight straight years of holding it down for the Broward County music scene with a big-ass party Saturday, July 18. You might remember them as CD Collector, but they switched over to the more appropriate name around 2007, now…

Cookieheadz a.k.a. Fish Boy has a new podcast out and it’s predictably dope as hell. The long-running DJ has a history of residencies that reads like a what’s-what of Miami underground parties, like Revolver, the Church, Poplife, and so on, as well as a pioneering stint hosting the Electric Kingdom…
I just got a message from Kris Pabon of the Southernaires who sent me this link to their newest EP Doom Years. It’s really really really amazingly good. It has frantic moments, hilarious moments (including a random electro-soca breakdown in the middle of “20 Miles”) and some hints of Beach…
Manuvers and Induce are part of the Hometeam series of podcasters that I blogged about last week. The current edition from Induce is a blast that really digs into some awesome soul, funk, and other classic black musical forms, highlighting the local DJ’s encyclopedic knowledge of music. In fact it’s…
