Parents, there’s a new menace out there waiting to take over your child’s life. No, it’s not Internet porn or R-rated movies or even the superbug. It’s worse. Miley Cyrus is on the loose, and no one can seem to stop her. She’s lurking in the hallways, hiding in the…
There’s a moment in the 2002 Spanish film Habla con Ella (“Talk With Her”) when an opening shot of a man swimming underwater pans out slowly and a gorgeous song begins to play. With the accompaniment of live guitar and a small orchestra, the tune, “Cucurrucucu Paloma,” instantly captivates all…
You’re probably excited this week to accumulate more fat cells in places you don’t want them to be.

Don’t ask. So we at CrossFade just got hip to the fact that beatboxer extraordinaire and hip-hop jokester Biz Markie is coming to town for a couple of shows. He’ll be DJing for free at 11 pm at Nectar Lounge in Seminole Casino Coconut Creek this Wednesday, Nov 21. So…
Various Artists Tango Around the World Putumayo Although the roots and tradition of Tango hails from the streets and concert halls of Buenos Aires, its influence has been felt throughout the world thanks to the dedicated efforts of musicians like Astor Piazzola, who developed the genre and conquered audiences wherever…

By ANDY VIHSTADT Back to the Futureheads The UK postpunk act has since started its own label and wrapped up LP3, which the band claims will be “punkier” than the last one. Here’s the first song from the yet-to-be-titled album, due sometime early next year, thanks to Indie Blog Heaven…
Bonnie Raitt Thursday, Nov 13 Hard Rock Live The people who show up at Bonnie Raitt shows these days are white, married, and between the ages of 40 and 60. The only teenagers I saw were two blond chicks that sat next to me and left after the third song…
That1Guy Thursday November 15th 2007 Dada, Delray Beach Better Than: Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas The Review: I had no idea what to expect out of this performance. It turns out that nothing really could have prepared me for what was about to happen. It started out with That1Guy bringing…
Nightwish November 14, 2007 Culture Room Better Than: Staring at the cleavage of a hot European rocker chick stuffed into a tight, leather corset. Okay, so maybe that’s not so bad. When the lights went down and the guitars came up in the Culture Room last night, Nightwish, the melodic…
It looks like the Bang Music Festival may already have seen its last days. When the festival announced it was postponing this year’s concert without much of an explanation, it wasn’t surprising. There was practically no hype surrounding the event, ticket sales were low, and the concert lineup was confusing…
Musicians are known for toeing the line amid two different worlds — drifting between good and evil — or various mind states to become successful. We’ve all got multiple personalities, so that’s not groundbreaking news, but the split between Muslim rapper Musab and Las Vegas-based pimp Minnesota Slicks is hard…
Music fans of every stripe, from klezmer to rock, should be satisfied in South Florida the night before Thanksgiving, but reggae fans may get the most love as some of the hottest sound systems in dancehall gather for just one night. Renowned DJ crew Stone Love, going strong for 34-plus…
We can all easily think of 25 reasons Vanilla Ice should stop making music. After his song “Ice Ice Baby” came out in 1990, the first hip-hop single to hit number one on the pop charts, he became the butt of a million jokes. America took back its love with…
It’s hard to believe it’s been 19 years since the Queen of the Forehead, AKA Sade released her stellar Stronger Than Pride album. It’s still the anti-break record of the century in my opinion as it has a way of talking to you regardless of where you’re at romantically. The…
Get Ready Less than an hour ago, the organizers of Langerado Music Festival just announced their line-up for 2008, and let me be the first to say, it’s killer. Don’t expect a good festival like last year…expect a great one. I don’t want to write it all out, but check…
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…
Reports coming out of Los Angeles and Chicago are sadly stating that rapper Kanye West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, died over the weekend “as a result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure.” The family released a one sentence statement this morning, which read: “The family respectfully asks for privacy…
BY ANDY VIHSTADT Jukebox Hero Cat Power turns on the Jukebox January 22. The mostly covers album (and bonus disc) will include a bit of everything from Hank Williams to the Hot Boys. Here’s the tracklisting. For those of you hoping for her rendition of “Hanging on the Telephone” from…
For those who remember, Southern California’s rock/ska band Sublime was one hell of a music outfit while it lasted. The group, fronted by affable lead singer Bradley Nowell, kicked out funky riffs and dubbed-out ditties about everything from smoking sinsemilla to hardcore substance abuse. Although the band lasted only from…
Longtime Miami DJ Oscar G has a penchant for driving the city’s dance culture forward. He’s been the resident DJ at Club Space for years and has a faithful following that packs the club every weekend he’s in town. This is not just because of its early-morning debauchery but because…
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…
