Over the last couple weeks, we here at Crossfade have become total Spotify addicts. Our habit began last week after learning that the free on-demand music service had teamed up with Midtown’s Ricochet Lounge to put together a Basel week concert lineup that’s packed with more superstar names than most…
What were you doin’ the night before Dinosaur Jr. alum and indie demigod Lou Barlow announced that his highly emotional side project, Sebadoh, would be visiting Downtown hipster superclub Grand Central for a pre-Weezer Cruise concert on January 18, 2012? Well, Crossfade was having the weirdest dream about bein’ at…
Adam Sandler is right. Thanksgiving is a special time of year. But we’re already sick of his song and dance, and the last movie he made was so terrible that even turkeys begged for a trip to the ovens rather than watch it. So here are the true top ten…
Electronica wunderkind Nicolas Jaar is many things. But he’s definitely not a genre purist. After all, this is a guy who name-checks minimal techno DJ Ricardo Villalobos and Ethiopian jazz maestro Mulatu Astatke in a single sentence. Jaar’s live sets, in particular, are kaleidoscopic sonic tapestries where you might hear pop…
From the day that he was born in 1939, Clarence Reid’s been a filthy-mouthed motherfucker. Now notorious for pornographic pop song satires like “Suck Around the Clock,” “All Fucked Up,” and “Whole Lotta Fuckin’ Goin’ On,” Reid’s childish antics weren’t any less XXX. As we write in New Times’ Miami…
”He is one of our coworkers, a friend, and a loyal patron,” says Mamushka’s bar manager Javier Sanchez, describing former Bar employee Dylan Nunn, known as Crunk. Currently in a dangerous coma-like state, Sanchez says, “He’s battling for his life and we want to show his family support.” You might…
To actually understand the scope of Ultra Music Festival’s evolution over the last 14 years, just ask Ultra cofounder and CEO Russell Faibisch about the fest’s early days. “Back in the late ’90s, it started as a small nightlife event,” Faibisch tells New Times in this week’s Miami People Issue…
In terms of show announcements, the weeks leading up to Art Basel Miami Beach are like Crossfade’s never-ending Hanukkah. Every day, we get a new gift, as one culturally relevant musical act after another proclaims its mission to rock the Magic City, Basel-style. Just a short time ago, Bardot forwarded…
For the last decade, Trina has been a reigning member of the 305’s rap royal family. No doubt, she is the Magic City’s Diamond Princess. And nobody rocks those blinged-out “Red Bottoms” like her. She’s raw, real, and regal. She’s badder than all them other bitches. But Ms. Trina is…
Miami’s wildest keg party is just five months away. Of course, we’re talking about New Times’ Brew at the Zoo, the all-you-can-drink extravaganza presented by Miller’s Ale House. While we’ve locked down the venue — Zoo Miami — and the date — April 28 — we’re still trying to figure…
Man, you ever get the feelin’ that today’s music ain’t got the same soul? Well, as Motor City rambler, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and facial hair aficionado Bob Seger once sang: “Call me a relic, call me what you will/Say I’m old fashioned, say I’m over the hill…
Question: What do you get when a girl who lives by the motto, “its not about the program its about what you do with ur brain,” gets her hands on Garage Band? Answer: Grimes (nee Claire Boucher), a 23-year-old bedroom dweller, witch house dabbler, and dark electro wizard from Montreal,…
Seven days ago, we here at Crossfade got word that Spotify and Midtown’s Ricochet Lounge were putting together a four-day Art Basel Miami Beach concert series, dubbed Music Loves Art, starring Nas, Theophilus London, TV on the Radio, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. At the time, there weren’t many…
Oh, Black Friday! Every year after Thanksgiving, a shopping warzone breaks out as holiday cheer and good tidings soon give way to flying elbows and weeping grandmothers who scream in the deep-throated, craggy, ten-packs-a-day roar of a truck driver at a strip club, “Christmas shopping season is fucking on, motherfucker!”…
Lazaro Casanova Our Kind of Love EP (petFood) Lazaro Casanova and his petFood label seem intent on taking over Miami’s underground house scene. And they might be accomplishing that goal through sheer production volume alone. Just this year, petFood has released a whopping ten EPs by various budding transatlantic stars…
Eric Bobo is the percussion king behind the live and recorded hand beats on the Beastie Boys’ Check Your Head and Ill Communications albums and tours. He’s also been playing and recording with Cypress Hill since 1994. Today, his new album with Latin Bitman drops. Together, they are called Ritmo…
Odd Future leader and notorious lyrical provocateur Tyler, The Creator recently explained to Spin Magazine that his signature hateful and sordid subject matter — like rape and dismemberment — “just doesn’t interest me anymore.” Well, if you’re not stabbing Bruno Mars and transcribing snuff films, what the hell are you…
Whether you’re dropping mad bills on contemporary art at such-and-such satellite festival or stalking celebrity art collectors at the Miami Beach Convention Center, there’s one thing about Basel week that everyone can agree on: It’s all about the afterparty. Case in point: The Electric Pickle. Next week, the N. Miami…
