Beastie Boys Action Figures and Five Other Pop Stars We Wanna Turn Into Toys
Last month, The Beastie Boys released a new, super epic, 11-minute Spike Jonze-directed video for “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,” the first single from the enduring hip-hop trio’s newest full-length, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Well, yesterday, the Beasties announced that the 11.5 inch dolls used to…
Five Things Odd Future Forgot for Their Golf Wang Tour Swag Packages
In conjunction with Odd Future’s upcoming tour of the U.S. (and Canada!), the hip-hop collective is offering Golf Wang Tour Swag Packages as part of ticket purchases through their website. The West Coast hip-hop collective is currently offering two options: a tour t-shirt (featuring a very interwebby cat design) or…
Wyclef Jean Announced For the Florida Marlins’ Final Super Saturdays Concert
Wyclef Jean is a true renaissance man. His career started with The Fugees. Just think about that fact — one of the most original, distinct collective voices in hip-hop was only the beginning for this Haitian rapper, producer, and politician. After the trio’s second and final album The Score went multiplatinum and…
Spank Rock’s New Video Mixes David Lynch With Sesame Street
It’s been five years since Philly-based MC Spank Rock’s last full-length record. And if the first two singles from his highly anticipated new album are any indication, the record is sure to reflect half a decade of dilligent writing, rewriting, mixing, remixing and mastermind-level tinkering. Spank’s 2006 album YoYoYoYoYo was…

Off With Their Heads Return To Churchill’s Pub August 12
We know that the rest of the country has been experiencing a lil thang called a “heat wave.” But Crossfade has no sympathy. It’s hot in Miami all freaking year. Maybe that’s why Off With Their Heads, a pop-punk quartet on perennial pop-punk label Epitaph Records, spends so much time…
Ten Shittiest MTV Video Music Awards Performances Ever
The performances for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards have been announced. And Crossfade is not impressed. Last week, when we broke down why the upcoming VMAs is a steaming hot turd, we already knew Lil Wayne would be on board, and would likely be performing his wet fart of…
Odd Future Announces Halloween Show at the Fillmore Miami Beach
Last night, Tyler the Creator tweeted the meaty schedule for hip-hop collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All’s upcoming Golf Wang Tour 2011. Not only will the raunchy sultans of swag be performing here in the 305 on Halloween night, but the show is another in a steady stream…
Beatriz Monteavaro Hosts “Participatory Grease Worship” at the End
How frequently do we describe our mood as “ecstatic”? Between the monotonous doom of the debt-limit crisis, the ticking time bomb of hurricane season, trying to stay alive in traffic, trying to pay the rent, and the unrelenting, absolutely suffocating humidity, we’re lucky if we ever just feel not-lousy. This weekend,…
Wu-Tang Clan Posts Craigslist Ad Seeking “Office Intern”! Or Did They?
Yesterday afternoon, Crossfade’s covert East Coast correspondents alerted us to what appeared to be a run of the mill Craigslist post looking for an intern. Among the required attributes were the ability to meet deadlines, experience with social networking, and a professional demeanor. Roles and responsibilities? Steamin’ blunts, protectin’ necks,…
Volbeat’s Bewildering Blend of Metal, Roots, and Alt-Rock Hits the Fillmore August 5
Danish rockers Volbeat try to squeeze every single kind of rock music — from American roots to the universal snarl of aggro rock — into each of its bewildering three- to four-minute compositions. Metal and punk have been bedfellows for a while now. And punk has definitely found another more-than-suitable friend…

Anonymous Facilitator of “Forest” Talks Art Amateurs, Art Pros, and Art in Libraries
We were intrigued by “Forest” from the first Facebook’d glance. An art show in a library? And a folksy, anyone-can-do-it open-call for submission? Paired with a blog detailing fairly theoretical motivations behind the show? You’ve got our attention. But when our initial inquiries into the show turned up an anonymous…
Atmosphere Announce Miami Show at the Fillmore September 16
And the live show announcements just keep pouring in. Early yesterday, Sweat Records announced that Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will be performing at Churchill’s Pub. And word on the street is the Junior Boys will be making their first stop in the Magic City since they played the Vagabond…
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Announce Miami Gig at Churchill’s Pub October 30
Ted Leo’s 2010 Matador debut The Brutalist Bricks was another lap around the field for the seasoned indie-rock veteran. But the run might be getting lonelier with every few feet, as the singer-guitarist belongs to an increasingly rare breed. Leo has done it all. In the late ’80s, he was…
Afrojack Returns to Miami August 6
This past year has been a whirlwind for Dutch electronic music producer and techno-house DJ Afrojack, AKA Van de Wall. In addition to endlessly touring the US and sitting on a treasure trove of unreleased tracks, including collaborations with Tiesto, Steve Aoki, and Omarion, the international party maestro has landed…
Ten Rock Star Members of the Dead at 27 Club
Amy Winehouse’s death has inspired numerous discursive threads, including speculation about her yet-to-be-revealed cause of death, the paparazzi (and YouTube’s) hyperdocumentation of her slow unraveling, and the deep tragedy of the young singer’s thorny personal life. In the face of much morbid, pop culture rumination, a dominant Facebook theme seems…
Chest Pain Talks Short Songs, Short Sets and Gargling Gasoline
Tomorrow night, Drugged Conscience will present an Austin invasion at Churchill’s Pub as two Texas acts give us a taste of Lone Star hardcore.

Borscht and Sweat Records Announce Rachel Goodrich Video Contest for “Na Na Na”
Not all sequels are total garbage. Ghostbusters II, for example, needed, to happen. If we didn’t have sequels, we would have never seen John Connor battle the badass, liquid-metal T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. And let’s not forget Weekend at Bernie’s II, if only for managing to float a second movie…
Mindless on Fastcore, Livin’ Lo-Fi, and the Austin Punk Scene
Punk has always been about refusal. The Bowery art-scum, L.A.-glam burnouts, and British street punks that collectively defined the OG wave were all rejecting the cornball excesses (and masturbatory guitar solos) of the ever-inflating Age of Arena Rock. Hardcore, in turn, kicked punk’s cartoonish packaging to the curb, opting instead…
Ten Reasons the MTV Video Music Awards Are a Total Joke
The MTV Video Music Awards are a sham. Every year, the network interrupts its regularly scheduled scraping-the-barrel reality television programming to pretend that there are people over at MTV who actually listen to music. To soften the blow of turning its focus away from pregnant teens and piss-drunk guidos (and…
