As far as clichés go, none is more applicable to South Florida than the melting pot. And nowhere is that more visible than inside a smoky bar on Clematis Street on a show night. When Respectable Street hosts four tricounty area bands on Saturday, not only will the 561 be…
Ignorance is bliss, so they say. Face to Face seems to adhere to this timeless adage, considering they used it to title one of their albums. The veteran pop-punk outfit, fronted by Trever Keith (also of Viva Death and the Legion of Doom), used it as the backbone of the group’s…
When legendary bluesman Buddy Guy first picked up a six-string for the first time, the now 76-year-old musician wasn’t thinking about commercial success and critical praise. He was too busy falling in love with music. “When I picked up the guitar, learning how to play it was for the love of…

Strip clubs across the country (if not the world) owe the city of Miami a lap dance. Had it not been for our late ’80s and early ’90s bass, pole dancers may have never shown us that “Tootsee Roll” or how to buss the “Kitty Kitty.” During booty music’s most…
Over the course of 14 years and seven studio records, Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken have held the jangly, psychedelic folk market by the balls as cofounders of Dr. Dog. And after tickling the world of indie music with a feather of aural Americana for more than a decade, the…
Doesn’t it suck when emo post-punk nostalgia slaps you in the face and reminds you that (a) you’re getting old and (b) have only accomplished about 12 percent of what you said you would by now? After reuniting on last year’s self-titled record, original members of Taking Back Sunday are on…
Are you ready for Tuesday’s election? Having flashbacks to 2000, when Florida’s sleazeball recount decided the election of George W. Bush? Well, as likely as not, we in Florida will choose the president again this year. With 29 electoral votes up for grabs, ours is by far the largest swing…

It takes gigantic cojones to walk away from a $1 million record deal, and Die Antwoord may just have the biggest pair. After releasing their 2009 debut, $O$, independently through the web and generating more blog traffic than a topless photo of Kate Middleton, the South African rave-rappers inked a…

It’s perhaps the raunchiest song about suspecting infidelity, but Riskay’s “Smell Yo Dick” wasn’t complete until it got its own EDM remix earlier this year by Israeli dubstepper Borgore. After all, the only thing crazier than a woman begging her man to smell his penis after coming home at “5…
Not sure if y’all remember MySpace, a social networking website popular around the mid-aughts where pervy dudes would spy on jailbait girls (read: To Catch a Predator) and singer/songwriters, like Ingrid Michaelson, uploaded free music. It was real around the same time your girlfriend started watching Grey’s Anatomy. Believe it…
Earlier this year, when Republicans held their multimillion-dollar pep rally disguised as a national convention in Tampa, “Any Way You Want It” played loudly and proudly.
