Remember when we bragged about how our NCAA bracket was a lock? Yeah, we may have jinxed ourselves. Both Michigan State and Florida State are out; we had them playing each other in the finals. Now Kentucky and Kansas need to lose just so we can finish in third place…
Not always a virtual land of quirky viral videos, blooper reels, cute puppies, and adorable kittens, YouTube is often a forum for hate, a safe haven for bigotry. In the wake of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s unjustifiable death, YouTube has become an outlet for angry folks to spew hatred. Florida City’s…
Gareth Campesinos isn’t stupid. The 26-year-old frontman of Welsh indie outfit Los Campesinos! realizes that you’re illegally downloading music and there’s not a whole lot he can do about it. However, “there comes a time when people have to accept if they’re going to illegally download music,” Campesinos tells Pitchfork,…
A week’s worth of panic attacks, insomnia, depression, and paranoid delusions, no we’re not having showing signs of ecstasy withdrawal. We’re on team Deadmau5 and we’re showing signs of EDM withdrawal. It’s been four days since WMC wrapped, pulling the digital needle off the MP3 record player and silencing indie-electro…
Peanut Butter Wolf at Bardot March 29
From the Los Angeles set of his “Back in Time” video shoot, Pitbull drops a big-screen bomb. Having already conquered the international pop charts with hits like “Rain Over Me” and “Give Me Everything,” Miami rapper and last week’s subject of VH1’s Behind the Music, Pitbull tells MTV News that…
Like water draining from a home plate backstop aquarium, the little respect we have left for the Florida Miami Marlins continues to dwindle. Enraging fans has seemingly become a common practice among the organization’s front office–robbing Miami-Dade County taxpayers, a “horrifying” home run sculpture, horrendous new uniforms, etc. The latest,…
On StubHub, Ultra tickets are going for $800 and Masquerade Motel passes cost $400. Beat freaks have seemingly lost their minds, clearly forgetting that the national average for a gallon of regular gas is nearly $4. Who in their right mind would drop half-a-stack on house music? Not Crossfade, that’s…
Check out the full lineup and set times for Ultra 2012. Ultra Music Festival sold out months ago. So unless you’re wiling to drop $7,500 on a VIP package or purchase ridiculously marked-up General Admission scalper tickets, quit bitching and accept the fact that you’re not going to catch Tiësto…
Admittedly, we’re all a little giddy ’round the New Times office. Rumor has it that Madonna’s going to drop by for a special in-house performance and breathe new life into our defunct Sectional Sofa Series. What sparked the rumor? One writer suggesting that, “we should totally get Madonna on our…
A faint ringing noise tickles our inner ear, the result of a lifetime’s worth of WMC pool parties, electronic music cruises, and afterhours ragers cramped into one bleepity-bloopity-filled week of house music. After far too many dates with Molly (and 28 Vicks Vapor Inhalers later), we’re regrettably giving up. We…
Occupy Miami Fundraiser at Churchill’s Pub March 27
Just one month removed from her death, rumors of a posthumous sex tape and several sexy photographs starring Whitney Houston have started to surface. According to a Star magazine “insider,” Brandy’s baby brother and former celebrity sex tape star Ray J (who introduced the world to Kim Kardashian via cunnilingus)…
When he’s not pushing Dr Pepper or exposing his Family Jewels on A&E, Gene Simmons rocks silly makeup and platform shoes as the legendary lead singer of Kiss. Similarly, when he’s not dubstepping aboard Holy Ship! or steering megayachts with his penis, Tommy Lee beats the skins for arena rock…
Happy hump day, beat freaks. How fuckin’ rowdy was Steve Aoki last night at Mansion? The Dim Mak Miami party was so worth the $2,500 VIP table for six. Our frat bros loved it. They met so many women named Molly, flirted with all of them. In fact, after Aoki’s…
Two seizures and an alarmingly high-caloric diet are mere speed bumps on Rick Ross’s road to world dominance. The man does not stop. He’s constantly slangin’ MMG dick ’round the world, reminding everyone that he’s a Boss, a self-made millionaire “selling dope, straight off the iPhone.” Now Rozay has a…
Just one week removed from PepsiCo’s announcement that Lil Wayne would become the face of Mountain Dew, the multinational corporation’s love affair with Young Money talent just became a threesome. Forbes is reporting that Nicki Minaj has singed a “massive,” multimillion-dollar deal with Pepsi to become the face of a…
Legend has it that a dollop of peanut butter will turn a wolf into a monster. Similarly, a nominally priced monthly fee will turn you into a monster music collector, like Peanut Butter Wolf and his new digital music subscription. The San Jose, California native, who broke onto the hip-hop…
What day is it? Has anyone seen our “I’m in Miami, Bitch” tank? We remember taking it off to jump into the Shelborne pool on Friday, but it was gone four hours later after we got out and dried off. Mid-March in Miami feels like a seemingly never-ending bleep-boop bender…
Inside a New York state civil courtroom, a musical tale of “irreparable harm” continues to unfold as Lindsay Lohan refuses to drop a seemingly bogus lawsuit against Pitbull, Nee-Yo, and Afrojack, the result of her “Give Me Everything” overreaction. In LiLo’s eyes, “Hustlers move aside, so I’m tiptoein’, to keep…
For boy bands, former Tiger Beat heartthrobs, and arena rockers, VH1’s Behind the Music is often a sad, hour-long reminder of what once was –groupies, money, three-day benders — and the grim reality of what has become — rehab, foreclosure, obesity. Those episodes often linger in the background while you…
Did you drop the bulk of your paycheck on an NCAA March Madness office pool? Us too. But our shit’s a lock, yo. We’ve got Florida State over Michigan State in the finals, with Kentucky and Kansas rounding out the Final Four. However, we won’t cash in on our winnings…
