You’ve probably heard the sad news already: Because of rising fuel costs and lack of corporate sponsorship, the annual Fort Lauderdale Air & Sea Show has been canceled. Yes, it’s a bummer (and kind of ironic … Does the war have a sponsor?), but we still have Fleet Week! Today…
It’s 2 a.m. Saturday morning. You’re drunk, as usual. Then comes a gurgle in your belly. It starts out low and bass-heavy, like far-away thunder, before building into a crescendo of crackling, splooshing, and swirling noise. It’s the onset of the munchies, and a particularly vicious case at that. Luckily…
Say what you will about Dave Chappelle, but dude knows what’s important in life. He had a fat $55-million contract to continue doing Chappelle’s Show for Comedy Central, but the gig was turning his life into something he didn’t want. So, deciding his sanity was worth more than the cash,…
The Panthers are the only South Florida sports team that doesn’t completely suck; they’re just a notch below .500, and are very much alive in the weak Southeast Division. But just think about that for a moment: That means the best assemblage of athletic talent in the lower third of…
Despite being saddled with a crappy name, the FAU Owls (wouldn’t Raging Hooters have been so much better?) are in control of their own destiny entering the final two games of the season. The Owls have improved dramatically under head coach Howard Schnellenberger since entering Division 1-A in 2005, and…
This year’s incarnation of the esteemed Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show promises to be bigger and, um, boatier than ever, with what flacks call “two billion dollars’ worth of runabouts, sportfishers, high-performance boats, cabin cruisers, express cruisers, sailing yachts, motor yachts, bowriders, catamarans, trawlers, inflatables, canoes, and extraordinary superyachts.” That’s…
Last year the seminal American progressive-house duo Deep Dish put the brakes on its collective work to pursue solo projects — leaving fans to wonder how the heck they’d pop it and lock it to both Dubfire’s and Sharam’s divergent beats at the same time. While that’s a feat for…
Bon Voyage, Manuel Filed under: News Manuel Noriega’s swarthy, acne-scarred mug will be missed in our fair city when he is released from prison Sunday. Where else does a corrupt, militant South American cocaine trafficker really belong anyway? Certainly not France. All of his friends are here. The Federal Correctional…
Ahhh, remember the Miami Dolphins’ 2007 off-season? Those were great times! Times when we were still optimistic about our dewy-faced new head coach, Cam Cameron, a guy we knew would be able to turn a bloated 6-10 team into a bunch of winners! Remember how he made no promises? Remember…
In the history of product tie-ins, there probably has never been a match that made marketing execs cream themselves more thoroughly than Pop-Tarts’ sponsorship of the American Idol Season 6 live tour. Yes, Pop-Tarts. In case you forgot, those are frosted, high-fructose-injected cookies masquerading as healthful breakfast food. Frankly it’s…
YTMNDGuy: Hey dude. What R U up 2 this weekend? Chewy_baka69: I dunno. I’ll prolly play some WoW – I want to get my blood elf paladin up to level 70. YTMNDGuy: LOL. No, we R going 2 the Florida SuperCon. Chewy_baka69: Why would I do that? I didn’t plan…
Here’s the secret about nerdcore: Either you get it or you don’t. This hip-hop subgenre is essentially music for folks who enjoy tinkering around with the insides of PlayStations and quoting from Star Wars like it’s Scripture. As for Frontalot, well, he’s nerdcore’s disseminator, originator, and poster child all wrapped…
Since putting their collaborative efforts on hiatus last year, the dynamic duo of Dubfire and Sharam, known more famously as Deep Dish, have each sought to create a stronger distinction between their solo recordings. While Sharam has adopted a free-wheeling aesthetic, Dubfire has taken a decidedly rootsy turn with his…
