What’d y’all do on your 20th birthday? If it was anything like ours, you spent 45 minutes waiting for a table at some generic hibachi restaurant, and the three days thereafter puking up shellfish. If you’re B-list pop royalty, however, you spent the big two-oh mean muggin’ and feelin’ on…
Sure, DJ sets at clubs are fun. But DJ sets inside convention centers are funner. Especially when you’re covered in someone else’s sweat and buckets of non-toxic paint while rolling face with your absolute favorite mix-masters. Benny friggin’ Benassi, dirty boy Diplo, and motherflippin’ R3hab are bringing the noise, beat…
In Michael Jackson explotation news… The King of Pop is dead. However, his legacy lingers locally tonight at the Hard Rock Café at Bayside Marketplace. Between 4 and 7 p.m., Jackson’s personal costume designer of 25 years, Michael Bush, will be on site signing copies of The King of Style:…
Kat and Joel, sittin’ in a tree, T-W-E-E-T-I-N-G…. Experts say that the best marriages are those rushed into after only three months of on-again, off-again dating. Especially when they’re shoved down others’ throats via obnoxiously adorable Instagram photos and nauseatingly cute tweets. So, over the weekend, Joel Zimmerman (AKA Deadmau5)…
The show must go on, even in times of grief. And DJ Shadow was prepared to do just that this past Friday at Mansion, the day America lost 20 innocent school children and six brave educators following the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. “The challenge for…
We say it every year … There’s far too much Christmas music on the radio, and not nearly enough Hanukkah songs floating around the FM airwaves to soundtrack our non-denominational celebration of hyper-consumerism known simply as “The Holidays.” All we’ve ever wanted for Christmas, damn it, is a sexy slow-jam…
Who throws a shoe table? Honestly! It appears that “The Beautiful People” of Switzerland reacted rather violently to an “Irresponsible Hate Anthem” issued by Antichrist Superstar Marilyn Manson during his recent trip to Basel. Promoting his latest record, Born Villain, the former South Floridian freak performed at St. Jacob’s Hall…
¡Ay Cojones! Justin Bieber’s balls are safe. Phew. However, Canada’s most popular pair of 18-year-old pop nuts came mighty close to soaking in some sick fuck’s mason jar full of formaldehyde. Police say that convicted murderer and rapist Dana Martin hired Mark Staake and his nephew Tanner Ruane, two men…
The Miami Dolphins were the greatest football team of the early ’70s, particularly 1972, when the Don Shula-led Phins became the first — and only — team to go undefeated during the regular season and win the Super Bowl. Ha! Take that, 2007-08 New England Patriots. Wait, what’s that? Karma’s…

Jesus Christ is particularly busy these days. The bearded leader of Christianity has been riding shotgun from shopping mall to shopping mall in the hearts of all his disciples ’round this 6,000-year-old planet that his dad built in six days, as the hyper-consumerist masses prep to celebrate JC’s birthday on…
As the music industry’s collective heart weighs heavy with news that legendary sitar player Ravi Shankar passed away yesterday, some comfort can be found in tonight’s Hurricane Sandy benefit show at Madison Square Garden. When the likes of Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen gather this evening for…
Y2K didn’t screw us. And that kooky Christian group was wrong about May 21, 2011, which came and went sans apocalyptic incident. The third time, however, is always a charm. And the world is almost certainly going to end on December 21 — the date the Mayans predicted would be…
Once Miami succumbs to the polar icecaps and the city is well under water, only the 305’s ass-clapping, booty bass legacy will float on. Well, maybe DJ Laz too. He’s got a boat. And if he’s lucky, Mr. Nice Guy Records himself, Jesse Perez, will be on that boat too…
It’s 3:30 on Saturday afternoon in Miami’s Design District. A live rendition of “Canción del Mariachi” drowns out the beep, beep, beep of delivery trucks backing into alleyways behind contemporary furniture stores and restaurants that Crossfade can only afford when someone else is paying. “Soy un hombre muy honrado, que…
Bloggin’ ain’t easy. A common misconception is that bloggers spend their entire day sans pants behind their Macbook pros aggregating culturally relevant blog content to maximize web traffic. Au contraire, mon frères. Sometimes–not often–we have to wear adult clothes and venture out into that scary unknown old folks call “the…
Rakim The Stage Miami Friday, December 7 Better Than: Getting Paid in Increments. It had been a long time since Rakim rolled through our hood prior to last night’s performance at The Stage. See also: -Basel Castle 2012: Twin Shadow, Trinidad James, and Purity Ring -Danny Brown and Shepard Fairey…
Jarritos, art, Breakfast Tacos at Tiffani’s, and Robert Rodriguez’s Chingon. Can Basel week get any better? Representing the “vibrant and varied” influence Latino culture has played in the United States, Henry Muñoz’s 6,700-square-foot, site-specific interactive art instillation, Mestizo City, opens tonight in Miami’s Design District. But the San Antonio-based CEO…
