Aside from an event Friday evening featuring the cuddly DJ Mig Lauderdale and Rebel that we’re very excited about, 1921 is hosting another event worth noting on Monday. Local art-rock act Alexander is giving away new album It’s Not Always Signs, It’s Not Always Wonders on Monday at 1921 S…
Back in January, Animal Collective premiered its visual album ODDSAC at Sundance. The film, directed by filmmaker Danny Perez, is a psychedelic visual delight featuring music by the experimental quartet. After that, the film hit the road with sold-out screenings everywhere from New York to San Francisco, and for a…
For the most part, the now-incarcerated Lil Wayne is a rapper by trade. But now that he’s behind bars, as we recently pointed out, he now has become a blogger using a computer terminal that probably would not allow him to stream “Lollipop.”The latest item up for perusal over at…
In the realm of TV theme songs, “Love is All Around” from The Mary Tyler Moore Show rates somewhere below M*A*S*H’s “Suicide is Painless,” but way above the admittedly robust Facts of Live theme. So, it is with great pleasure that we announce that Pitchfork/Crossfade fave and South Florida resident…
One of the best scenes in Noah Baumbach’s 2005 Brooklyn brownstone drama The Squid and the Whale features Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) playing an acoustic version Pink Floyd’s “Hey You” from 1979’s The Wall in a talent show and claiming that he wrote it. The movie takes place in the early…
Yes, we’ve been seriously hyping up Sweat Records’ fifth anniversary party, on this blog — but that’s because the event deserves it. Sweatstock, as the party is dubbed, is shaping up to be one of the best locals-only (plus No Age) events to come along in a while, something that…
For Stephen Stills, 1968 was a particularly good year. Sure, his band Buffalo Springfield had imploded in a mass of clashing egos. But the Byrds had also recently kicked David Crosby to the curb, and the latter, Stills’s old pal, was looking for a collaborator. Crosby had taken to the…
The raw rock two-piece the Black Keys hails from the Midwest — Akron, Ohio — but boasts a penchant for ripping the roots out of American music. It was a project that began in 2002 with the pair’s debut album, The Big Come Up, and hasn’t subsided since. It was…
If you went purely by his lyrics, you might guess that whenever Trey Songz isn’t singing in that syrupy tenor, he’s either 1) constantly glued to his phone or 2) under impossibly expensive sheets, fornicating in the freakiest manner possible (it doesn’t really matter with whom). It’s tough to find…
This Friday’s Piano Latino concert at the Arsht Center brings together two masters of Latin jazz with an upcoming prodigy, for a snapshot of the genre’s past, present, and future. Eddie Palmieri is the grand master here, a first-generation Nuyorican who began playing piano at age 11 all the way…
Mike Ramirez of Fort Lauderdale’s Radio-Active Records fully understands the mania that drives vinyl junkies — he’s among their number. The 29-year-old manager and buyer for the store says his Fort Lauderdale home is filled floor-to-ceiling with LPs — gathered since his youth at the Record Bar in Coral Square…
Yes, we did a double-take when we saw that venue name. It’s THE Falls, as in the Kendall mall. No, it doesn’t exactly scream rock and roll, but there are a lot of the all-ages set dwelling around there, so why not? Rocking the Simon-franchise shoppers this weekend is the…
It’s been just a couple weeks since Steve Angello and his Swedish House Mafia comrades tore through town during Winter Music Conference. But Miami just can’t get enough of these guys’ suave looks and big-room beats, and so Angello returns solo this Saturday for one of his biggest gigs here…
Please note: Crossfade does not condone blindfolding young women, forcing them to wear noserings and bright orange underwear, and tying their limbs to a lawn chair so that a monkey can sit and watch them struggle.That said, the Flaming Lips, a band that will be in West Palm Beach on…
As any seasoned tippler will tell you, it’s best to start a long session of drinking with the delicious stuff — your taste buds won’t care if you dip them in turpentine after a few hours of steady consumption. Thus, as New Times Battle of the Bands winner Community Property…
Dubstep has taken Miami by storm in the last year — hardly surprising in a city that has always loved its bass. The emergence of this once marginal sound rooted in the UK underground is due in no small part to record label/promoters Basshead Music fostering Miami’s local bass culture…
