Since erupting in New York City’s Zuccotti Park on September 17, the #occupywallstreet movement has been taking the nation by storm with it’s populist rage and youthful vigor.

Ikea, Volvo, and electro-pop music — that’s what we think about when someone says Sweden. And speaking of the European Union’s third largest country by area, Swedish indie outfit Little Dragon is almost here! Earlier this year, the Gothenburg-based group released its third studio album, Ritual Union. We spoke with…
You’d do anything to sit atop The Throne, curled up in the resplendent million-dollar laps of His Hovatastic Majesty Jay-Z and King Kanye. But there’s no way that you, a poor and humble pauper, could ever gather enough gold to pay for a $276.50 ticket to the royal duo’s November…
There are few artists more beloved on the transatlantic house and techno scene than Cassy Britton. But why? Ask most fans why they love Cassy so much, and they’ll most likely say you have to experience one of her live sets to understand. And that’s true. It’s no coincidence she’s…
Crossfade remembers exactly where we were when we first saw the video for Beyoncé’s mammoth nu-Girl Power single, “Single Ladies.” We were at home, on the internet. Similarly, we were at home and on the internet (this is what we do, you see) when we first saw Beyoncé’s latest video…
Y’all wanna hit Dadeland Mall for a pretty-pretty sesh with country-pop princess Taylor Swift? OK, good! Just tell that screeching, hysterical 12-year old girl inside you to shut up, simmer down, and stop puking with excitement ’cause there’s a catch … Ms. Swift won’t actually be making an in-person appearance…
We did it, y’all. We made it through the work week. We’ll finally have a chance to disconnect from the workplace tonight at Happy Hour or catch a grimy metal show on Saturday night in Little Haiti. Whatever the case, we’re free. And not to mention, it’s pay day, and…
If you’re into electronica, chances are you’ll be riding that chillwave of excitement into Bardot for the club’s second installment of its Living Room Sessions. The speakeasy’s new Thursday-night concert series kicked off last night with Junior Boys. And now we’re all set to indulge in a dose of superrelaxed,…
Art and music. These days, it’s like they’re dating or something. And it’s kind of cute. The season for Art Walk-ing is back. There’s finally a breeze and a two minute stroll down NE Second Avenue doesn’t leave one drenched in sticky sweat. And thanks to the return of an…
Ultra Music Festival is an insanely intense sensory experience. Three days of ecstatic raving, bro-on-bro PDA, and other miscellaneous forms of debauched misbehavior alongside all your fave DJs and 150,000 beat freaks rocking goggles, glowsticks, furry boots, yarn hair, and sweat-soaked novelty t-shirts. Believer it or not, though, there’s another…
Is Lady Gaga really Freddie Mercury in reincarnated drag? Probably not. Mother Monster was already five years old when Mercury died in 1991. But the two flamboyant icons have a lot in common. So much, in fact, that Queen guitarist Brian May is hinting at the possibility of Lady Gaga…
Get ready to guzzle a bottle of cheap bourbon, howl about love, loss, death, and redemption, and smash a saxophone into shrapnel ’cause Juke founder and frontman Eric Garcia (AKA Uncle Scotchy) tells us, “Miami’s favorite dirty blues band is going big” and adding a hot shot of fat brass…
If there’s one WMC/Miami Music Week party that keeps locals and jetsetters buzzing year-round, it’s Crosstown Rebels’ Get Lost.

Murder was the case in 1993. But Snoop Dogg walked away a free man and into the collective heart of American pop culture. Now 18 years later, he’s trying to crip walk onto primetime television. MTV News (via Deadline Hollywood) is reporting that NBC is working on Snoop’s “family comedy…
Steve Jobs, one of the greatest innovators of both the 20th and 21st Centuries is dead. But his name will ring out eternally through history. ‘Cause damn, that motherfucker changed the world and shit. iTunes is just one of many ingenious inventions to come out of the Apple camp. From…
The mashup is a decadent, triumphant symbol of the digital age’s too-deep pool of influences. Before the internet, you had to save your pennies and hunt down sounds (and information about them) like a bounty hunter. Before electricity, you straight up had to wait until someone with an instrument came…
