Pet Shop Boys Play Filllmore Miami Beach on September 9

Earlier this year, the publicity machine known as PETA decided they’d get their name in the papers again by requesting the Pet Shop Boys change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys. No really, they did. The request was respectfully declined, which I’m sure was a crushing blow to animal…

Cocktail of the Week

It’s easy to fall into the trap of overdoing a mixed drink. Sure, booze purists insist that mixing anything aside from a splash of water will ruin any decent alcohol, but sometimes slugging straight whiskey isn’t the most refreshing summertime drink on the beach. But pounding down frozen cocktails in…

The Tool You Need is a Corkscrew

I’m Eating What?!

It’s been nearly a week since I put that bitter melon in my mouth, and I swear I can still taste the damn thing once in a while. Either that or my taste buds are still having nightmares from which I fear they’ll never awake. Seeing that today I have…

Steely Dan playing Mizner Park Amphitheater June 13

It’s nice to see Steely Dan touring again. Not that they’ve been off the road much recently, but for fans of the jazz-rock band, there must have been quite a few very frustrating years of having to listen to their albums at home or in their cars. In the mid-1970s,…
