Phew, eight more hours and it’s over. The never-ending workweek is finally coming to a close. No more headaches brought on by that disgusting stench creeping from the office fridge. No more copy machine jams, TPS reports, or creepy corporate dudes evaluating your performance. After you punch out, the next…
A little known fact about Crossfade is that we’re degenerate gamblers. We’ve been dropping mad bills on Magic City Casino’s maquinitas ever since the joint introduced Vegas-style slots. But aside from free parking and a few comped dinners, we haven’t won shit. Really, though, who cares? Win or lose, Magic…
File this under “Fuck yes!” Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull, wants to get wild with you, and “2,500 of his closest friends” on the inaugural Club 305 Cruise. Earlier today, Armandito Christian Perez tweeted in the third person, “Pitbull wants you to join him on the party marathon that will be @Club305cruise.”…
In Jennifer Lopez news, the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Marc Anthony has been spotted riding ’round South Florida in a drop-top Bentley. No, she didn’t treat to herself to $250,000 whip. Jenny from the block is in Miami filming scenes for her new film project, Parker. In the film, Lopez plays a…
Lady Gaga wants to meet with President Obama. Following the news that 14-year old Jamey Rodemeyer committed suicide after years of bullying, Gaga tweeted, “The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someones [sic] life.”…

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Forward Motion Records CEO and Dreaming in Stereo frontman Fernando Perdomo. The musician’s mother, Araceli Perdomo, died last night after a five-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 66 years old. Like her son, Araceli Perdomo was a local celebrity. She was a popular…
Truth or Dare bylaws clearly state that a person who’s dared to do something must oblige. If they don’t, they’re labeled a pussy for life. Last night, Kings of Leon bassist and Truth or Dare purist Jared Followill ran his SUV into a neighbor’s home after being challenged to fucking…
In the beginning, Domo Genesis dropped Rolling Papers, an ode to getting high in the guise of mixtape. Pardon the pun, but it was dope. Now, Odd Future’s squinty-eyed stoner is back with a new mixtape, Under the Influence. Yesterday afternoon at 4:20 p.m., Domo released his sophomore effort via…
US Weekly is reporting that Team Edward is stabbing music in the heart and draining its blood. Evidently, PG-13 heartthrob and “accomplished blues guitarist” Robert Pattinson is in the midst of recording his first album. But the Twilight star isn’t making a record for his teenage girl fanbase. Instead, Pattinson’s…
Laugh tracks make us cringe, and because of that, rarely do we venture into the world of CBS primetime. But last night, Cultist made an exception for the season premiere of Two and a Half Men. No, we’re not die-hard Ashton Kutcher fans. In fact, we think the dude’s a…
Some bands are better than others on tour. But few are as good as My Morning Jacket. Since breaking onto the indie alternative scene in the late ’90s, the Tennessee-based group has earned a reputation for having one of the greatest live shows in music today. At the 2008 Bonnaroo…
If R. Kelly pulled a WIlly Wonka and opened his Chocolate Factory to the public, we doubt we’d find Oompa Loompas churning out R&B hits. After all, the 2003 record was clearly about baby-making, not candy-making. In fact, R. Kelly’s slow jams are all about sex. Dude makes music for…
Miami Police are still investigating a shooting that left one dead, six wounded, and sent hundreds of people stampeding to safety early yesterday morning at Nocturnal nightclub in downtown. New Times reported yesterday that 26-year-old Brandon Marquis McGhee was shot and killed inside the popular afterhours club, but that no…
We’ve gone all verklempt. What a treat! Woody Allen, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, will be visiting Miami Beach on the first day of Hanukkah. To think, of all the cities in the world, Allen and his New Orleans Jazz Band chose ours to kick off the…
Nicholas Cage is a weird dude. And evidently, weird dudes attract weird dudes. While promoting his new movie, Trespass, at the Toronto International Film Festival, Cage recalled a bizarre incident that occurred one night at his southern California home. “It was two in the morning,” he tells reporters. “I was…
Miami was heavily represented in Los Angeles this past Wednesday when the 2011 Latin Grammy Nominations were announced. Not only did 305 resident Enrique Iglesias earn an Album of the Year nod for Euphoria, but our very own Toto “Mr. Pauer” Gonzalez snagged a Best Alternative Album nomination for his…
It’s Friday. That means your employer direct-deposited a fat stack in your bank account or payroll tossed a money envelope in your mailbox. But before you even clock out, you’ve spent half your check on bullshit like car payments, credit card debt, student loans, rent, and utilities. Nonetheless, you want…
I grew up chubby. As a baby, it was cute. But in the JC Penney boys section, it was downright embarrassing. Until I outgrew children’s clothing, I wore a size “husky.” I didn’t realize it at the time, but it was retail’s clever way of calling me fat. “Should I…
Rolling Stone Magazine. There was a time when landing the cover meant you had officially arrived as a relevant rock ‘n’ roller. But the print industry’s dead and it’s all about the internet. In the digital age, you’ve officially arrived when Rolling Stone premieres your music video on its website…
Rey Ruiz. El tipo’s tremendo salsero. His musical career started 90 miles east of Key West in Havana, Cuba. As a kid, the baby-faced singer appeared on countless national television programs showcasing his incredible range. He enrolled in the country’s famed Conservatorio de Música. And soon, he was headlining a…
