Okay, so the Sex Pistols stopped being relevant the first time they reunited (whenever that was — 1996? 1997?) and cheapened their own legacy. But this might take the cake. From a press release: Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Sex…
The first of South Florida’s pre-Carnival parties are jumping off tonight and with the weather warming up a touch, this should all make for a good five day weekend from here on out. Since soca doesn’t get nearly enough love on CrossFade, here’s some Machel Montano with his ever popular…
Not sure if this is true or not, but can’t help but post this link I found on Craigslist today. Someone from Poison is looking to get laid. If you need Craiglist to get the job done, that might be a sign that you’re washed up. –Jonathan Cunningham…
Carnival season is upon us here in South Florida and it’s only fitting to kick off the week with a video to celebrate. Thousands upon thousands of Caribbean folks will be rolling into South Florida every day this week for the dual carnivals happening in Miami and Broward County through…

Concert Review The Postmarks & Apples in Stereo The Culture Room 9/28/07 Better Than: Standing around with seven thousand of your closest “friends” at last week’s Interpol concert. As far as cool line-ups go, the Culture Room’s double bill featuring The Postmarks and Apples In Stereo was really a match…
Perhaps most well known as one half of the now-defunct dreamy pop duo Azure Ray, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Orenda Fink comes to Ft. Lauderdale tonight fronting her new band Art In Manila, which released its debut, Set the Woods on Fire in August on famed Omaha-based indie label Saddle Creek Records (home…
News from across the pond is that Radiohead will be dropping a new album much sooner than most people expected. It’s available on October 10, via the band’s website as a digital download only. Get ready. Of course the price is not cheap and will run you £40 quid–which sounds…
Broward County’s the Postmarks have the music industry paying attention to their sugary sounds in a big way. It may have taken two years to put out their debut, self-titled album, but now that it’s on shelves, everyone from Spin to the New Pornographers seems to want a piece of…
Rap City won’t be on in the afternoons anymore. The show is moving to 1 a.m., and BET is filling its old afternoon time-slot with some other video-block show. And honestly, I’m not even sure why I care. For one thing, I never watch the show in the afternoon anyway…
Reggae star Mavado, who just performed at the Gold Coast Roller Rink in Fort Lauderdale a week ago, was robbed on Tuesday in Toronoto. According to reports, most of Mavado’s belongings were stolen including a laptop, money, and his passport. As a result, Mavado has cancelled his upcoming shows (Atlanta…
Our punk rock icons are aging. Mike Watt now looks more like a retiring shop teacher than a rocking member of the double bass group Dos, and the recent surprise guest on NPR’s quiz show, Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me was not a senator with presidential aspirations, it was the…
Apparently, Crossfade just can’t get enough of Meg White. A lot of the Internet, especially some of the music chatrooms, are buzzing this morning over the sex tape that suddenly appeared this weekend that supposedly shows White Stripes drummer Meg White engaged in full coital activity. While nobody can verify…
Lauren Reskin, owner of Sweat Records. Shout outs to the whole Sweat Records crew as Lolo and the gang are preparing to move from their current location at Churchill’s Pub into brand new digs right down the street at NE 2nd Ave. After a fairly successful two year stint seeking…
Outspoken rapper, actor, and activist Mos Def is voicing his anger at the hip-hop community for their lack of support for the Jena 6. He’s been in Louisiana of late, marching and performing, but recently spoke out about feeling alone within the hip-hop community when it comes to standing up…
You be the judge. He is looking mighty ripped these days. First 50 Cent rumors of steroid use swirled, then it was Busta Rhymes and Timbaland (and rightfully so, who are we kidding) but now it’s Dr. Dre? The 42-year-old Compton native recently appeared on television looking like he could…
If 2Pac’s legendary status within urban America is to be examined, folks should start with the video below. Released in 1991 on his stellar 2Pacalypse Now album, “Brenda’s Got a Baby” is one of the most poignant songs to ever be composed within the genre of hip-hop. They’re bold words,…
Stevie B Thursday, September 20, 2007 Nectar Lounge The Review: It’s a sad thing when your life peeks at 13. Ever wonder what those kids that used to rule the roller skating rink grew up to look like? Well, kind of the same – ghetto-fabulous in tight clothes and big…
Since it’s Friday and folks are only a matter of hours away from blowing off steam, here’s some music to whet your dancehall sensibilities. –Jonathan Cunningham…
Here’s a concert for all the lovers of old school Miami Bass and Freestyle music. If you can remember listening to jams like, “Party Your Body,” and “Because I Love You (the Postman Song)” then chances are you remember Stevie B. He was the king of Miami’s dance scene in…
Don’t expect to find too much material of Prince on YouTube in the future. The famous songwriter and eccentric music savant is waging war with the popular online video company over copyright issues and unauthorized use of his music. I’m not sure why the former assless chap wearing icon is…
This tune was an urban anthem 18 years ago and it’s just as vital right now. Can’t believe it’s been that long, but “Self Destruction” is one of the most important hip-hop songs ever created! I’m probably missing somebody but here’s the Stop The Violence Movement as I could catch…
