Yes, Ted Nugent may be “repulsed at the concept of man-on-man sex.” But Uncle Ted offered to blow a male CBS reporter in return for a favor. “I’m an extremely loving and passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that…
See Crossfade’s obituary for Adam Yauch as well as Crossfade’s memorial slideshow of Beastie Boys concert photos. The Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch is dead. But the Beastie Boys live forever. The rap crew’s global cultural influence was cemented the moment they dropped the atomic boulder of musicality known as 1984’s…
Quirky, sexy, and cool, St. Vincent’s Annie Clark may just be the Zooey Deschanel of rock ‘n’ roll, i.e. she’s adorable, she’s legitimate, and she’s totally impossible to avoid. Yesterday, St. Vincent was named by Spin Magazine as the 93rd best guitar player ever. And today, we here at Crossfade…
See Russell Simmons, Rev Run, and others’ Twitter reactions to the death of Adam Yauch as well as Crossfade’s memorial slideshow of Beastie Boys concert photos. Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch (AKA MCA) is dead. Details about what ultimately took his life have not yet been released. UPDATE: The rapper and…
Justin Bieber has been such a little tease lately. He got us all worked up with his new grown-and-sexy single “Boyfriend.” But until yesterday, all we could do was fantasize about his new barely-legal moves and watch a few 20-second video clips. Finally, though, the official “Boyfriend” video has been…
WTF, Pepsi? We told you yesterday about PepsiCo’s decision to partner up with the estate of Michael Jackson for a “global marketing push.” Like a homeless man recycling aluminum cans for a ten-cent refund, the carbonated conglomerate that nearly killed Jacko in 1984 is milking the King of Pop’s lifeless…
Wilco is many things. But the Chicago-based band is not a one-hit wonder. Nor is it a group seeking quick fame and fortune. Over the last two decades, Wilco has proven itself to be a highly successful, occasionally stubborn, and extremely resilient musical outfit, releasing eight studio albums; earning critical…
The act of throwing money at nude or semi-nude dancers has been around for eons. Or at the very least, as long as gentleman clubs have existed. But there’s more to the art of ballin’ than just tossing paper currency in the air and watching it fall onto some stripper’s…
Electronic dance music wunderkind MANIK (AKA Chris Manik) takes music very seriously. For one thing, he’s a prolific producer with over a dozen records released on top labels like Ovum, Poker Flat, Hot Creations, and Culprit in just a few years. But Manik is also a scholar of music. Literally. The…
Time flies. It’s been nearly three years since Michael Jackson died at the hands of Conrad Murray, the result of too much propofol and respiratory arrest. From concerts to network specials, Jackson’s death triggered a seemingly endless stream of posthumous tributes. None, however, came in carbonated beverage form … Until…
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. As a name for a one-man-dance-machine, it almost seems like a joke. Maybe that’s because Orlando Higginbottom didn’t expect it to be anything but a bit of fun. A few years ago, Higginbottom donned his first dinosaur costume searching for an amusing way to make the…
General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. You probably don’t recognize the name. But General Seguín is the reason you’ll tape a felt mustache to your clean-shaven face and inadvertently offend 66 percent of the Hispanic population in the United States on Saturday. Without his leadership, the Mexican army wouldn’t have defeated French…
If you were donning baggy fluorescent pants and twirling glowsticks during the so-called “nu-rave” boom of the mid-noughties, then you may know Devonté Hynes as one-third of the group Test Icicles. And if you’re a hipster indie rock nerd, you might know him as Lightspeed Champion, the “49th coolest person…

The Young Money Cash Money Billionaires run every kind of racket. They got the rap game on lock. They got those drank endorsements. They even got that fashion shit. And now they’re making movies. In a recent interview with XXL, Birdman confessed there’s a blockbuster in the works starring the…
How often do we here at Crossfade find ourselves alone in the dark, fondling a laptop while watching steamy videos and wondering, “Is it time for another stint in sex rehab?” Oh, maybe three or four or five or six or seven times per day. And we blame Shakira …..
