It’s there, lurking in your closet buried underneath mounds of clothes. You’d donate it to Goodwill but you know you are obligated to wear it once a year to prove to grandma that you “absolutely love it.” Beside, who would be stupid enough to buy it even if it was…
The temperature dropped the weekend, which finally gave us reason to take out our Cosby sweaters. But in case the cold kept you indoors, here is what you missed over the weekend:Surfer Blood at VagabondWest Palm Beach’s Surfer Blood finally came home after being on the road to a warm…
Let’s just put this out there first: Lady Gaga is a hack who thinks she’s doing the world a favor by making an “artistic statement.” Sorry, her music and performances are about as artistic as something our 5-year-old niece drew. We’d just like her to admit she’s doing straight-up commercial…
All the best things in life are free. So wouldn’t it be nice if there were a free New Year’s Eve event to go to? Wait, there is! Thanks to Giant Step — the same people who brought Kid Sister to the Delano for Art Basel — Baltimore’s Rye Rye…
Is it Winter Music Conference yet? No? How odd. Because that seems to be the only time British electro-house duo Simian Mobile Disco ever make it down to Miami. Not that we are complaining. When we heard they were on the bill for Shore Club’s New Year’s Eve celebration we…
In this week’s issue, we previewed Rachel Goodrich’s appearance with Awesome New Republic at the Awarehouse on Saturday. Unfortunately — or fortunately, depending on what way you look at it — American Apparel will be hosting a rummage sale all weekend long at the Wynwood venue so the show has…
If you aren’t aware yet, it’s the holiday season, which means the advertisements on television are focusing heavily on toys that kids don’t really need and will probably forget about a month after unwrapping. Still, that didn’t stop Crayola from brainwashing children into thinking they need a silly contraption called…
Pitchfork’s love affair with West Palm Beach’s Surfer Blood continued this week when the online music site picked “Swim” as the one of the top singles of 2009. It came in at number 37 out of 100. Pitchfork says, “Any self-respecting ‘pop craftsman’ would’ve whittled away at that ‘Needles in…
Actual conversation over iChat:”Are you going to Chelley tomorrow?”Who the fuck is Chelley?”Here.”Oh, THAT SONG!”So, are you coming tomorrow?”What’s in it for me?”A really bad performance for you to publicly hate.”Check out, Chelley tomorrow at LIV for its Dirty Hairy party.

If dubstep was a kingdom, then Rusko would surely be its king. The British born, L.A. transplant has been damaging speakers worldwide with his hard hitting beats. But limiting him to the genre of dubstep would be underestimating the 23-year-old. He easily mixes electro, hip-hop, and even pop, within his…

If you’ve hit up the downtown/Wynwood nightlife scene, you most likely are familiar with LA DJ duo Classixx, even if you aren’t aware of it. They are partly responsible for turning tracks into dancefloor gold through the art of remixing, including Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” and the Ting Tings’ “Shut Up and…
When Air’s Moon Safari came out in 1998, I was 15 years old and still in my teenage ska/punk phase. But here was an album with lush electronic soundscapes and minimal beats that really spoke to me. Air is responsible for introducing me to electronic music and the entire Astralwerks…

Oh, you thought the slideshows we posted up yesterday was the end of our Art Basel Miami Beach coverage? Hahaha! Oh, sweet Jesus! Absolutely not. Seriously, we could close out the month of December and still not cover everything we saw and did last week.So here are a few bonus…

Here is what you missed over the weekend:Justice at MansionElectrohouse icons Justice made a long overdue Magic City appearance Friday night at Mansion. Their banger-filled set brought the house down and keep…
One complaint about Art Basel: Local artists and galleries are given few opportunities to showcase their work.
