We don’t know what’s better: the zero humidity or the temperature starting to cool down. We are glad to see that our version of “fall” is finally starting. Some complain that Miami’s lack of seasonal change is a negative, but we fail to see the fun of driving on icy…

So Ike never came but still managed to rain on our parade forcing us to push back our Iron Fork event. Finally, with no hurricane in sight, Iron Fork comes to the Miami Science Museum October 30. Five chefs will be competing for the title including Mark Liderman of Forte…
We feel it. It’s going to to be one of those weekends — you know, the ones where you see the sunrise every night. Why? Because there is so much to do this weekend that we had a hard time condensing it to this list. Tonight, all the way from…
All the way from Italy comes the Crookers, a DJ duo who basically put its nation on the electro-house map. For a country who loves its traditional house, it’s refreshing to see someone actually breaking the mold and the Crookers have no problem doing so. So when they stop by…
Justin Namon GrandMarnier, Julie Budet (a.k.a. Yelle) and Tepr. When French electro-pop trio Yelle’s C’est La Amerique tour stopped at the Magic City last Friday, we decided it was a good opportunity to meet with the group face-to-face. We originally hoped to spend the day with Yelle, getting to know…
Ah, Uffie, the Ed Banger artist who claims she is from Miami originally but whose story doesn’t exactly add up. What we know is true is that Uffie at one point attended Nova High School in Davie, but she has admitted to moving around a lot as a child, so…
Ugh, we can’t believe it’s coming already. Our bodies were just starting to recover from the havoc known as Winter Music Conference. But lo and behold! Ultra Music Festival organizers have announced via a newly redesigned Web site that UMF tickets go on sale this month. For how much? We…
The Miami Dolphins dropped to 2-3 after a frustrating 29-28 loss to the Texans yesterday. When the Fins defense caught two early interceptions and Patrick Cobbs scored a 53-yard and an 80-yard touchdown, and it seemed like Joey Porter was going to turn Texans left tackle Duane Brown into his…

The wet weekend streak continues. Not that we don’t enjoy the cooler temperatures, but we can’t exactly drink our economic sorrows away at the city’s many outdoor lounges when the skies open up. The dry season will be here soon though and with it comes brown lawns and tougher water…
Daft Punk tried to warn us. With the U.S. economy tanking, we can’t help but to feel a little pessimistic about our future. We reverted to our inner 15-year-old, which happened to grow up in the go-go ’90s of excess and wealth (a.k.a. the Clinton years), and decide to make…
We apologize for not bringing you your weekly dose of On the List last week, but we’ve got life to you know. But we’re back, so you can get your panties out of a twist and relish in the fact that you won’t be clueless as to what is going…
C. Stiles Some of the hottest roller skating tracks of all time are booty, bass, and freestyle songs that were wildly popular a few decades back in South Florida. That’s because many of the jams were produced locally by outfits like Luke Records, as in the label of 2 Live…

For a second there, we all had the flashbacks. After Dan Carpenter missed that sure-fire 42 yard field goal, and then San Diego immediately marched down the field scored a TD a few minutes later, you thought “Well fuck me in the pants, here we go again.” You also thought…
Needless to say this weekend we were sun deprived. Continuous overcast and light rainfall plagued South Florida keeping us wanting to stay indoors . Still, plenty events went on as planned despite the rainy weekend, so here are some of things you missed over the weekend: Fashion Week Miami Beach…
