If you’ve never taken a trip to Palmetto Bay, you should make it a point to hit up the sprawling greens of Deering Estate at Cutler for the Labor Day Blues Picnic. Coming at the tail-end of three months of steamy heat, the federal holiday marks the time of year…

“You like to eat girls out who just peed…wtf?” It seems like just yesterday that I was at Uncle Luke’s house talking about Rick Ross being a former C.O. Man, time flies. And to think that Mr. Campbell now has a weekly column on this very website. Last week he…

I saw Rocky Love in the parking lot across the street from Churchill’s about an hour and a half ago (it is 3:30 a.m. as I write this), and I promised him that I’d put this video up on Miami New Times, so here it is Rocky. I am a…
While you juggled glowsticks at a WMC event last Friday, someone slipped some Special K into your Red Bull. The strobe lights and techno pounded your brain as visions of Paas Easter eggs dripped into your conscience like colored honey poured behind your eyelids. You met pierced-lip Ingrid on the…

“What’s the matter with the car I’m driving? Can’t you tell that it’s out of style?” Billy Joel sang. “Should I get a set of whitewall tires? Are you gonna cruise the Miracle Mile?” Yes! You know the song, you know the street, and you know what time it is…
Sometimes, when I am feeling suicidal, I go to Sweat Records and stare at the fish tank. I once read some Harvard study where they hypothesized that watching fish in a fish tank lowers you blood pressure. I think that it’s true. Plus, Sweat Records has some awesome magazines, books,…
Life is a fucked up game. You’re winning Grammys, performing at sold -out arenas around the world, smoking blunts all day, wearing a million-dollar watch, and living on your own planet one minute.

Remember when you and your girl were smoking weed while listening to Elvis’s version of “Polk Salad Annie”? She was like, “Is this the Doors?” And you were like, “Dude, are you serious?” Then you told her it was Elvis, and the LOLs led to that adorable first kiss. And…
Nobody gets through life unscathed. And right about now, it seems like everybody’s got the blues: fired, dumped, divorced, broke, and slipping way too deep into the booze. We got the blues, mama. It is the eternal background music for hard times because the blues will make you laugh and…
“Any musician certainly can come in with their own sound system.” Why does 2010 feel so awesome? Time is flying by like a space shuttle. I keep getting into these long “chats” on Facebook with people that I haven’t seen or heard from in almost 20 years…..
