The true secret to a bona fide proper pint lies in the foam. Just look to your right … Doesn’t that baby look delicious? And why? Because of the thick and creamy head. Meanwhile, like so many nuanced activities (ping-pong, calligraphy, masturbation), the proper pour is a matter of delicate…

Bribe the bouncer. Buy a dozen bottles. Get a job behind the bar. We here at Crossfade will personally do whatever’s necessary to get our art-addicted asses past the velvet ropes at LIV on November 30. But you should probably just keep it legit and buy a pair of tickets…

If we here at Crossfade ever manage to get a glimpse at James Murphy’s personal day planner, there’s a pretty solid chance that the first week of December is perennially empty, except for a short, four-word phrase, presumably written in fat, blood-red block letters: Art Basel Miami Beach. Last year,…

Radiohead just released the first 10 dates of its 2012 US tour and we couldn’t be any happier. Thom Yorke and his mates from Oxfordshire will be kicking things off at the American Airlines Arena on Monday, February 27. Since releasing its eighth studio album, The King of Limbs, earlier…

After the Wu-Tang mothership crashed full force into pop culture with the release of the 1993 gangsta rap classic Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the first order of business was to send out the pods. Method Man was the first to strike out solo with 1994’s stellar and intensely hardcore…

AIDS Wolf With Last, Holly Hunt, Unicorn Hard-On and The Laundry Room Squelchers Churchill’s Pub Thursday, November 3, 2011 Better Than: Whatever else was happening last night. Whenever some chump wants to talk shit to you about how much they hate “noise,” you should maybe ask what exactly they mean…

Austra With Grimes Grand Central Wednesday, November 2, 2011 Better Than: Falling down a witch house YouTube rabbit hole. Last night, Nightdrive Miami presented its second major Grand Central production in just two weeks. And much like the recent Battles show, all factors — sound, venue, performance — were in…

Forget about your parents’ stupid rock ‘n’ roll. That shit’s for old people. The Fillmore’s always packed for the monthly Honeymoon Series party, when the room quakes with dark, and violent party music for the kids. Space is now selling tickets for a special Thanksgiving weekend performance by Steve Angello…

These days, former Goodie Mob member Cee-Lo Green is the Liberace of hip-pop. He wears sequined jumpsuits with effortless flair. He can’t be without his baby grand for more than 24 hours. And he totally loves South Beach. But while the King of Bling (as Wladziu Valentino Liberace was nicknamed)…

For the past 356 days, the Design District’s most devoted boozers and fanatical music lovers have been regularly letting loose at a classy NE 38th Street joint called The Stage, draining goblets of Chivas at the bar, sleeping on the sofas in the parking-lot lounge, and drunkenly two-stepping on the…

​Man, oh man! We had the weirdest dream last night. Well, to start things off, Sebadoh was there. Y’know, the weepy and weird side-project-turned-anti-band started by Lou Barlow when his mid-’90s feuding with fellow Dinosaur Jr. bandmate, guitarist and singer J. Mascis, forced his exit. But, like, in stark contrast…

UPDATE Au Revoir Simone’s Miami show has now been moved to Grand Central. And it’s free! Even as Crossfade continues to closely monitor Art Basel Miami Beach music and party news, we’re already looking beyond the early-December art extravaganza, working our sources and scouring the interweb for the scoop on…

See the full 19-photo Odd Future at Fillmore Miami Beach slideshow. Odd Future The Fillmore Miami Beach Monday, October 31, 2011 Better Than: Biting into an apple and finding a rusty, AIDS-infested razor blade. Or getting an SLR slapped out of your hand by Odd Future’s Left Brain. About 350-or-so…
