Hey, he wrote that article. But calling him an "American loon"? That's cause for a libel suit, according to Uri...

When you combine the traditional percussive powers of Maracatu Nação Estrela Brilhante with the rhythmic vibes of Nation Beat, the result is a mega carnival that'll keep you dancing the samba til o nascer do sol. "It's an epic experience," brags Scott Kettner of Nation Beat and Maracatu New York...
Matias Aguayo is not your garden variety EDM artist. Not by a long stretch. In many ways, the Chilean-born producer is Latin America's answer to UK sonic mad scientist Matthew Herbert, approaching the formulaic house and techno genres with an irreverent spirit of experimentation and unconventional studio techniques. Mirroring Herbert's...
When Dr. Norman Block got the news in May 2012, he was incredulous. The Nobel Laureate he'd brought to the University of Miami to work on cancer research — a groundbreaking drug researcher named Andrew Schally — would lose $150,000 in funding. Schally would have to lay off two researchers...

Last year, popular art themes during Art Basel included Warhol, guns, Warhol, street art, and more Warhol. But if the UNTITLED art fair is an indicator of this year's offerings, 2013 will be the year of new technology. (And also B-list celebrities. Hello, Val Kilmer!) UNTITLED opened last night with...
At first blush, brooding, bad boy film icon James Dean and ridiculous '90s-era rapper and reality TV star Flavor Flav may seem to have little in common. But look through the eyes of artist Pete Kirill, and you'll notice that themes of rebellion against authority and pop culture influence run...
Well, we've found it. The worst professionally written piece about the Dolphins' Richie Incognito mess has been identified. Congratulations to the OC Register's "libertarian humorist" Ron Hart for penning a column that is all at once racist, sexist, completely stupid, and manages to both wonder if Jonathan Martin is gay...

Classifying any musicians's sound as simply downtempo is unfair. The term says nothing about the idiosyncrasies and stylistic nuances of the individual artist's work. In fact, it's merely a description of the music's rate of speed, a suggestion that these tracks are meant for afterhours home listening instead of the...
Manny Prieres isn't a big literary guy. The 40-year-old graphic designer and artist was born in Spain after his parents relocated there from Cuba. As a teenager, he attended Southwest Miami High School, where he often painted album covers on jean jackets for friends and developed his drawing skills. But...
City of Miami residents won't be given much of a choice when it comes to exercising their right to democracy during the November 5th mayoral elections. Despite an early fund-raising lead, commissioner Francis Suarez dropped out due to some minor campaign hickups and his wife's pregnancy, leaving the city without...
A tall, heavyset man with shaggy blond hair and straight-cropped bangs stands in the middle of an empty gravel parking lot. He looks around aimlessly, hands shoved in his pockets. When he sees a car pulling up, he turns, hands still stuffed in pockets, and hurries over to a small...
If you're into fitness in any capacity -- even if it's just watching infomercials and bemoaning the fact that your abs are flab -- you're probably familiar with Shaun T. The man behind Insanity, Focus T-25, Hip Hop Abs and lots of other glorious tortures, he's been whipping people into...
Not long ago, I set foot in my first and last Smoothie King. At the time, I was a smoothie-making fiend in my own home, gulping down bags of expensive organic frozen berries like flappers guzzled bathtub gin. So I was psyched when I walked through the door of this...

Pilobolus, the season opener of the Knight Masterworks/Ziff Dance Series at the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, will quite literally blur dance and magic in homage to escape artist...
Halloween is right around the corner, and if you haven't already, now is the time to pick up a costume. By now, Walmart's cookie-cutter dress-up shelves look like the Publix bottled water section when a hurricane is churning in the Gulf. Sometimes the best Halloween ideas are right under your...
The title All Is Lost promises despair, especially with Robert Redford looking so stolid and weathered and still-got-it golden on the poster. Could this near-silent, you-are-there survival story be another of Redford's yawps of boomer gloom? Another complaint, like The Company You Keep, about the realization that the world we...
Good morning Miami Beach. Are you feeling sore and tired from swilling too many flutes of celebratory champagne last night?
