Break out the credit card, beat freaks. Oh, and shave your legs. Tie that half-naked guy bow tie. Fluff up your purple mini-skirt tutu. Squeeze into those studly short shorts. And straighten out your human bumblebee antennae. With only 162 days, six hours, 59 minutes, and 33 seconds till the…
Matt and Kim at Fillmore Miami Beach October 14
Even though there’s been an open, outstanding arrest warrant on his ass for the last six months, Maybach Music Group member Gunplay ain’t sweating the small shit. You know, like an armed robbery charge. In fact, seven hours ago, the swastika-tatted rapper, aspiring escort service entrepreneur, and self-described “Human L.A…
Peaches is the professor of freaks. For the last 12 years, she’s been leading a master class in how to have the most insanely ass-blasting, titty-shaking, cock-rocking time while giving gender norms the stiff middle finger. In 2000, she introduced her musical instructional, Teaches of Peaches, and let the freaky…
Holy, Manhattan Project! Did you know we’re living on a post-apocalyptic island? It’s true. But on the upside, we just might get to spend the End of Days sharing a bunker with indie goddess and longtime SoFla resident Cat Power. In a new interview with Ocean Drive magazine, Power (née…
Whenever Dirty Harry isn’t blasting the brains outta unlucky punks or snarling at empty smartass socialist chairs, he’s keeping it cool with a copy of “Ornithology.” That’s right … Clint Eastwood is a jazz junkie. He has produced and directed Bird, a biopic about bebop pioneer and heroin casualty Charlie…
Even though 2006 inductees Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols might think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is “a piss stain” that charges too much for dinner and a gala, there are plenty of “music industry people” (i.e. not gaping A-holes) who’d be happy to grab a decent…
Public Image LTD at Grand Central October 5
Yes, John Lydon (AKA Johnny Rotten) is still a total asshole. Last week, we here at Crossfade attempted to conduct a phone interview with the Public Image LTD frontman and former Sex Pistol. But unfortunately, Johnny seemed to be stuck in one of his legendarily shitty moods. After only a…
What’s better than spending Art Basel Miami Beach weekend with Kanye West getting absolutely no sleep, dressing extra-weird, partying superhard, guzzling gallons of electrolyte-loaded H2O, and delving hella deep into a Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? Well, the UR1 Festival … ‘Cause you’ll get to kick it with Kanye and several…
“Moon river, wider than a mile,” Andy Williams crooned. “I’m crossing you in style some day.” And last night, the singer, Emmy-winning TV legend, and six-time Grammy host went off to meet his “huckleberry friend,” passing away at his home in Branson, Missouri, after a yearlong battle with bladder cancer…
Sí, Crossfade’s still a little wet from last year’s “Rain Over Me” threesome with Pitbull and Marc Anthony. But we’re also dripping fresh excitement juices in anticipation of the 2012 Latin Grammys! Our most-soaked Spanish-language fantasy: The sexiest y más talentoso members of the Latin Recording Academy squish themselves into…
Wanna get Jacked? Again? That’s right … Even though Mr. Nick van de Wall (better known among beat freaks as Afrojack) just slammed Miami with a two-night stand in June, the 24-year-old DJ, producer, fist-pumper, vodka-guzzler, and certified Pitbull bro is already heading back to the Beach. Having just announced…
Hashish will make a lady do some crazy shit. Like give her new album a 23-word title. Say, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Or maybe even make a run for the Mexican…
See also “Fiona Apple Announces Concert at Fillmore Miami Beach on September 30.” Even if every penny of your savings from that mid-’90s stint as a Lilith Fair roadie has run out, there’s still no reason for all you Fiona Apple superfans to stay at home alone, scream-singing “Criminal” till…
Ever since stepping off la esquina, Mr. 305 has harbored deep hopes of becoming Mr. Hollywood. So whenever he hasn’t been too busy honing his craft in Bud Light commercials or buttering up movie biz elites with personalized remixes of the Men in Black III theme, this budding thespian has…
Rihanna is a boss chick. She makes $53 million a year. She smokes pot with mom to celebrate Mother’s Day. She openly professes her “looove” for Brazilian smut on PornHub. She makes it rain on skrippers like Jay-Z before Bey. And she even shares skinny-dipping pics with her 60,197,117 Facebook…

Remember when Miami New Times columnist, booty bass pioneer, and free speech enthusiast Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell lambasted Pittsburgh weed rapper Wiz Khalifa (AKA “the boy behind the popular hit ‘Black & Yellow'”) for breaking the hip-hop code and hooking up with another rapper’s ex-boo? Well, Luke probably didn’t think…
See Crossfade’s review from Of Montreal’s last Miami show in 2010 — plus the 35-photo slideshow. It’s been 29 long lonely months since we here at Crossfade last basked in the warm, “whimsical and musically captivating” glow of Kevin Barnes and band. And for the last little while, we’ve been…
