  Matt and KimSome of the best music presented this week comes courtesy of the ongoing Converse-sponsored Kill Your Idols event in the Design District. An ode to current movers and shakers keeping the original punk spirit alive (albeit in mutated, advanced forms), the space features a photo exhibit by Eileen Polk, as well as flyers, posters, and various limited-edition goodies. Oh yeah - and a totally free, open to the public show every night at 9 p.m. Up first tonight is the Frisco trio Nodzzz,

• Art Basel Week: Pink Reason and Times New Viking, Dec. 7

  The last of the Art Basel week shows at the Kill Your Idols space kicks off with a set from Brooklyn-based Pink Reason, currently a trio but really the brainchild of Kevin Failure, the band's frontman. It sounds a little like Joy Division or another post-punk act put through a shredder, churned in a drum machine, and tossed into a faraway field, where it still remains audible. Um, best heard rather than read about. The Columbus, Ohio-based Times New Viking, meanwhile, released one of the greates

• Miami According to Brooklyn

  (Photo by Justin Namon)"Brooklyn," as the current day manager of the Vagabond downtown is known, has done and seen it all around the South Florida music scene since arriving here from his native New York some 12 years ago. Younger types flitting around hipster nightlife know him as the improbably, heavily tattooed guy who has tossed their drunk asses out of the Vagabond, and other venues before like Circa 28. But he's done a lot more than that, and he's gathered up enough opinions along the way

• Miami According to Brooklyn: On the Downtown Club District Homeless Problem

  To read past installments of Miami According to Brooklyn (and to find out who, exactly, guest columnist Brooklyn is), click here. I want to talk about the homeless in downtown around the clubs and how fucking annoying they are. I'm so sick and tired of the begging and everything else. I'm not insensitive at all, but you know what I mean. There are those few that are really, really nice and that definitely do deserve and need some help. But there are also those few that feel that we owe them so

• PL0T Presents Tony Rohr Live at White Room This Friday

  The peeps from PL0T were pretty busy in 2008 providing Fridays at the White Room with a classy selection of hot international techno acts. There were intimate performances by Lee Curtiss, Seth Troxler, and Bill Patrick, among others. And there was that sleek visual ambiance courtesy of the multimedia collective TheEvanHood. The folks behind PL0T, in short, are a self-proclaimed antithesis of South Beach clichés and Miami's commercial dance scene. This Friday brings a special live PA by Tony Ro

  Finally, the movie on Notorious B.I.G. hits theaters today and it seems that the anticipation for the film's release is running high. Notorious actors have been hitting the talk show circuit, Lil' Kim is up in arms about how she was portrayed, Diddy is being all dramatic on YouTube, and people are just excited to get a peek in to the life of a legend.Big was undoubtedly one of the best to ever grab the mic and whether that type of hip-hop is dead or not, his gargantuan presence can still be fe

  To read past installments of Miami According to Brooklyn, click here.This week, we're talking about how these fucking jackass kids hide behind their fucking computer monitor screens. First of all, we all know you're a jackass if you're talking shit on the Internet, and you don't have enough balls to go up to somebody and tell them what you really think. Obviously you're terrified, so you feel that this is an easy way out, and you're able to be more of a man, so to speak, but you're not. You're

Reporter Emily Pantelides and "Really Big Stud" cameraman Chad tagged along with the Expert (or Lapp, as he's known in certain circles) on a visit to Authentic Brooklyn Pizza in Boca Raton and asked him what makes the perfect pie. Lapp, of course, has a bigger list of reasons longer than Congress'1000-page health care bill. Hey, he is an e
