Every once in a while I lurk the Craigslist musician ads in search of some local music news (lineup changes, and so forth). Here are some of my favorite recent ones. BTW, bands, if you’re looking to round out a lineup and want an extra shout-out for your ad, let…
This is one of the few times you’ll ever hear me defend Soulja Boy on anything! I’m not a fan of his music or his immaturity, although at the age of 17, I can definitely understand the latter. Recently, long-time rapper, and current Law and Order cast member Ice-T recorded…
I may be late to the Internet viral video game again with this one, but it made me LOL pretty hard so I had to share. Of course, the most common criticism of musicals is that in real life, people don’t just burst into narrative song. But what if they…
So, who doesn’t want to gently easy into their Monday afternoon with a good 20 minutes of time-wasting bad Internet videos? The smartest YouTube searchers know that the site’s treasures are often found simply by typing “worst” whatever in the search box, or, for a grab bag, just “worst” itself,…
In case you missed this on Deco Drive or Idolator, things went haywire on the set of Rick Ross’ recent video shoot for his upcoming single, “Here I Am,” featuring Nelly. A tiger hired to add some menace or flair or whatever to the set apparently wasn’t a fan of…
The video with Latarian Milton, the 7-year-old badass/hood rat enthusiasts that stole his mother’s SUV in Palm Beach Gardens is definitely making the rounds of the blogosphere right now. So there’s no surprise that a remix of the footage has surfaced on YouTube set to music. Initially, that sounds cool…
How intriguing are the NBA playoffs this year? Every night, brand new drama unfolds. It’s more like a soap opera with athletes than anything and the latest clap-back diss song aimed at rapper Jay-Z proves that. If you’re late to the party…Washington Wizards star DeShawn Stevenson and LeBron James don’t…
Washington Wizard forward DeShawn Stevenson is finding that out the hard way. In what seems like a feud that was on it’s way toward being a nonstory, Stevenson’s war of words with LeBron James just went to an unexpected level. Over the weekend, Jay-Z recorded a (rather funny) diss track…
The Smoking Gun recently reported in a long, investigative entry that R&B singer Akon, who has built a career on making a huge deal out of his alleged criminal past, is not as bad as he says he is. Since the release of Akon’s 2004 debut, Trouble, the singer has…
It’s no secret that Khia, of the famous 2002 cunnilingus anthem “My Neck, My Back” is not the biggest fan of Miami’s top female rappers. Early on, there was the debacle involving Jacki-O over her status as the self-dubbed “Queen of the South.” Then there was her beef with Trina,…
Just got an email from overseas about champion British soundclash veteran David Rodigan’s time in the studio with our own Walshy Fire from Black Chiney. A week and a half ago, Roddy was in town doing a show at Studio A and before he hit the club, he and Walshy…
Ok, maybe not. You hate to see the part-time Miami resident in such an uncompromising photo but this is just too funny to pass up. I don’t know where this shot came from or if it’s even real but it is NOT a good look for Joey Crack. But I…
Uh…yeah. And Amy Winehouse is the most sober singer in England. Neither statement could possibly be true but according to MTV…Soulja Boy puts himself ahead of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kanye, and whoever else is out there right now as the hottest rapper alive. If we were talking about looks, maybe,…
The Worst Things In Music This Year, according to Ben Westhoff! 1. Worst Album: the Arcade Fire, Neon Bible This cerebral garbage entertained about 100 people, none of whom didn’t either live in Canada or work as a music critic. Speaking of critics, it’s hard to agree with Sasha Frere-Jones…
I can’t remember what set it off now, but I’ve been on a massive shoegaze-revisiting kick lately, diggin’ up the lovely space-rock extravaganzas I first zoned out to as a teenager. True fans of this stuff in Miami can probably be counted on my and maybe a friend’s fingers and…
What do the band and the burger have in common? This hungry scene kid loves them both, and he’s pissed off when one goes missing! KEEPIN WHOPPERS BR00TAL D00D! (Okay, I feel silly passing on an ad, but this is kinda ridic.) — Arielle Castillo…
Booze and music trivia sometimes go hand in hand. Imagine that you’re half way sloshed at your favorite speakeasy and (true to form) the tongue starts loosening up. The jukebox across the room sucks, and to pass the time, you start talking about your favorite bands. Talking Heads (right on)…
This picture of Amy Winehouse surfaced from across the pond yesterday:…
In a weird twist, if you want to see why the Sun-Sentinel needs to police it’s on-line section more often, check out some fairly ridiculous comments to the story about the death of Kanye’s mom on their website. Some folks apparently think her death is hilarious. — Jonathan Cunningham…
So, my money says that the whole Fiascogate won’t help Lupe Fiasco sell records when his new album, The Cool, drops later this year. The MC was never really relevant to hip-hop’s thug elite, and he’s pretty much pissed off the backpacker crowd by dissing A Tribe Called Quest last…
