Lionel Richie. His hair is fucking crazy, bordering on crazy awesome. However, throughout the decades he has made efforts to tone it down. That mustache, on the other hand, has stuck around like his daughter’s herpes. We’re not insinuating Nicole Richie is a slut, by the way, it’s just that…
The last time Crossfade got weird with the O’Grime boys, we bumrushed a Taco Bell, scrubbed ourselves down with Mexican meat, and wasted $400 on 15 minutes with a stripper slathered in nacho cheese. In a word, it was awesome. And really, there’s only one scenario that might get mo’…

At the end of March, punk music venue and multipurpose space Miami Chum Bucket opened with the chaotic roar of powerviolence virtuosos Gorilla Pussy and the wild churning of an inaugural, non-stop mosh pit. The moment marked the culmination of over a year of fundraising. But less than two months…
Last month, Complex reported that Earl Sweatshirt had been tracked down.

With the help of local boy Udonis Haslem, the Heat nailed the Bulls last night 85-75. Now we come back to Miami for re-ignition of this NBA Eastern Conference Finals sausage fest on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Since we’re foodies, not sports handicappers, we decided to do a “playoff” of…
Remember vinyl LPs? Well, back in the day, album cover design used to be very important work. And there were some pretty sweet masterpieces. But as any crate digger can tell you, for every brilliant piece of art, there were dozens of embarassingly crappy ones. The ’70s and ’80s, in…
Odd Future had to cut their May 16 Detroit show short when “some asshole decided to continue to throw GLASS BOTTLES [sic] on stage.” The incident happened shortly after the “I’m opening a church to sell coke and Led Zeppelin” line from Tyler the Creator’s Bastard track, “French.” Not surprisingly, Odd…
Fox News’ Sean Hannity dedicated 10-minutes of his program last night to shit on Common, and criticize Michelle Obama for inviting the “controversial rapper and poet” to her White House Poetry Night.In typical “fair and balanced” fashion, Hannity even invited two black guys to discuss the “running list of controversial…

Crossfade loves a good laugh at the wonderful, weird range of human expression. Hence, last week’s deep anthropological studies on the phenomena that are these five crazy dances. Or the amazingness that is Mexican tribal guarachero and its related fashion. But that was just scratching the surface in the contemporary world…
