Football. In Egypt, people rush the field and die about it. In America, though, we celebrate our favorite sport with boatloads of liquor, oceans of beer, billions of chicken wings, and the robot who was once Madonna. And obviously, it’s way better to enjoy these all-American footballin’ festivities in the…

The Swedish House Mafia dudes have already positioned themselves as the prime EDM ambassadors to this decade’s mainstream masses…
There’s something almost mythical about DJ Lee Burridge. He’s like the Johnny Appleseed of electronic dance music — a wide-eyed nomad roaming the Earth and planting the seeds of quality sound wherever he goes. Over the years, it’s a journey that’s taken him from the grassy fields of UK raves…
C’mon, y’all! For many shining moons, Boise Bob and his Backyard Band have been rockin’, rollin’, and ramblin’ down from Hallandale to Little Haiti’s Churchill’s Pub for late nights full o’ hootin’, hollerin’, and gobblin’ “Possum Meat.” And let’s not forget … Anytime you were broke and busted, Bob and…
Holy time-lapse! Where’d January go? February seemingly came out nowhere and that silly little groundhog’s predicting another six weeks of winter. This has been a really crazy week.

The best dance parties aren’t the ones you can escape with your sexy intact. Great nights are the ones that leave your hair a mess and clothes covered in booze. Maybe you wake up the next morning with a headache and a couple of mysterious bruises. Never mind the consequences,…
Nicki Minaj is too hardcore for BET. Viacom-owned Black Entertainment Television is refusing to air the rapper’s “Stupid Hoe” music video. Evidently, naked Barbie dolls and fishnets are far too risque for the network. We’ve embedded the 210-second, Hype Williams-directed video below. You’ll notice the most offensive element of “Stupid…
Not only is the world mourning the death of Soul Train’s Don Cornelius.

And yes, there were a couple of…
The concept of shredding — that is, achieving an enlightened and evolved state of being via guitar — is almost exclusively discussed in the context of metal. You have the righteously soloing heavy metal axeman, the frenetic yet intricate tech-grind guitar nerd, the lumbering stoner behemoth. In their own way…
Legendary Soul Train creator and longtime host Don Cornelius has died of an apparent suicide. He was 75 years old. According to the Los Angeles Times, police arrived at Cornelius’s Sherman Oaks home around 4 a.m. PST and transported the Soul Train producer to an area hospital, where he was…
