Ever since George W. Bush had to pull his dick out of the mashed potatoes (yes, it was definitely “that kind of party”), the United States of America, the politicians that govern it, and the voting populace at large have all been tied to a swinging pendulum of manic populism. Who…
Busted! Reefer maniac and pop-R&B sensation Rihanna is now among the hallowed ranks of musical celebrities with tours derailed by drug-sniffing dogs.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony didn’t just invent the quick-tongued R&B-rap style that spawned a thousand A$APs and Kendrick Lamars. They are also one of the most 420 friendly ensembles in the history of hip-hop. All rappers love weed. But none with the insatiability of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, who would smoke their own mothers…
Melancholic indie-rock bard, Jason Molina, has passed away from complications related to alcoholism at 39.

Punk rock is loaded with icons. Every scene and microgenre has its respective players, characters, and cult figures that, over time, have taken on the might and sheen of mythological deities and epitomize the waves and movements to which they belong. Darby Crash was the original post-Iggy punk rock nihilist, who lived…
It’s 2013, and hating on Limp Bizkit, their frontman, Fred Durst, or the moshing-in-JNCOs rap-rock universe of which they are a cornerstone, is something like shamelessly combining the easiest elements of stealing candy from a baby, shooting fish in a barrel, and trolling for lulz.See also- 10 Worst Florida Bands…
Yesterday, TMZ reported that Justin Bieber had woken up on the wrong side of the bong – excuse us – wrong side of the bed, and was talkin’ some mad smack about Lindsay Lohan for no good reason. Before noon, Le Biebz and his PRmy had already issued an apology…
Florida is a swamp filled with crazy people — mostly rednecks and political refugees — who are so far removed from the rest of civilization and its myriad, sanity-sustaining social contracts that their screws can’t help but loosen more every day. To be fair, crazy people have their place in…
Andrew W.K. has announced a new partnership with Playtex’s “Fresh and Sexy” wipes.The product is designed to sanitize the biological fulcrums of humanoid mammals following the embarrassing shitshow they call “sexual intercourse.” We are proud of AWK for momentarily taking off his party hat and donning the tasteful cap of…

Normally, this kind of pop-cultural-detritus “news” story — one that hinges on the tragic frequency with which some spoon-fed monomaniacal pop star acts like an ass-hat — is preceded by a reiteration of all the other times John Doe Douchebag has done whatever deplorable thing he does over and over…
WTF is Rihanna thinking when she tweets a picture of her bare-ass b-b-b-bootay in a G-string, under the obviously phony-baloney guise of showing off a pair of newly purchased boots? That question is rhetorical. We already have some ideas behind what could possibly be motivating one of the biggest pop stars…
And the downward spiral continues! If we described an international music sensation who was addicted to drugs, consorting with “hos” in different area codes, and showing up to concerts late, who would you think we were talking about? Axl Rose or Justin Bieber? Believe it or not, it’s the Biebs,…

TMZ reports that rapper/singer Drake dropped (flung, threw, tossed, etc.) $50,000 at a strip club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Apparently Drizzy and his posse rolled in with a cardboard box loaded with dough. And then proceeded to make it rain. Profusely. Like, Old Testament-flood style. As post-Enlightenment secular humanists, we…
In addition to being a pampered-poodle-millionaire and all-around manic crybaby, Kanye West is known for unbridled innovation. Whether he’s playing a drum machine live at MTV’s VMAs or producing, directing, writing, and creating heavily symbolic movies about what a tragic asshole he is, Kanye West is always one step ahead…
Yesterday, Pitbull, the 305’s reigning lord of reggaeton-rap responded directly to Cash Money, Young Money mogul Lil Wayne’s extensive shittalking against the Miami Heat and the team’s Holy Trinity of LeBron, Wade, and Chris Bosh’s wife.

The Bee Gees are the undisputed warlord champion presidents for life when it comes to fabulous falsettos.

Every year, Ultra Music Festival features curveball additions to the lineup that contrast greatly to the vociferous beatfreaking that dominates the event.
