Can you blame him? Fat Joe is seen around Miami all the time, but when he’s in South Florida, he doesn’t actually sleep in the 305. Instead, he’s been living like a king out in the western edge of Plantation. And now, apparently, he’s tired of it, and as we…

Even if you’re Hispanic and have lived in South Florida your entire life, you’ve probably never heard of Discovery Channel en Español. They’ve got lots of animals, travel, tornadoes, and quite possibly local singer Josephine “La Pepa” Bauza really soon. The channel (contact your cable provider for availability) recently held…
Askmen.com is one of those sites that seems to be endlessly generating best-of lists that other people then write about, thus creating an endless Internet circle-jerk. Mind if we join? Oh, it’s of some local interest. The site has released its 2010 list of the “top 10 nightclubs in the…
John Hancock seems to have always been the slightly more out-there member of local favorites Awesome New Republic, continually releasing his own, more experimental material during the band’s down time. The latest addition to his solo oeuvre is a new vinyl-only album, Antenna Death, out now on 10K Islands/St. Ives…
Good folks over at Ultra Music Festival premiere this week the new video Tiësto vs. Diplo track “C’mon,” which was filmed live at this year’s festival. The track sounds a bit like outdated 2006 blog-house, sounding more like the work Tiësto than Diplo’s. In other words, don’t expect any Third…
The Lebron James speculation is serious. Of course, here in Miami we’re hoping he comes down to join buddy D-Wade … but Wade’s future in Miami hardly seems certain, either. So who can help entice James make up his mind? How about some rappers with a new mixtape!Yesterday saw the…

The Beantown band’s reality today is a far cry from its beginnings as a one-man dorm room project by frontman…

While people complain about the lack of live music in town, and usually the same people complain about going to South Beach for anything, Jazid is a lone soldier quietly battling to prove the naysayers wrong. Sure, the venue has changed plenty over the years — for one thing, only…
Listening to the band’s incredibly tight, über-polished debut album, Manners, it’s hard to believe Passion Pit has been around for such a short time.

After releasing separate solo albums, singer Andrea Echeverri and bassist/producer Hector Buitrago reunited in 2007 to record Oye, their first CD as Aterciopelados in five years. The disc wasn’t as rambunctiously rocking as their early work in the mid-’90s. Instead, there were entrancingly lovely interludes such as the upbeat prayer…
