Six hours after Tweeting “ugh boob sweat,” the 22-year-old international pop star Charli XCX shared an even more disheartening message on Twitter.

Joe Maz and Dave Aude Tell Us How to Make The Perfect Remix

What is a remix? At its most basic definition, a remix is a new version of a song that already exists. However, the lines between remixing, sampling, making edits, mashups, white labels, and bootlegs have blurred. These days, it’s hard — maybe even impossible — to make something truly original…

The Psychedelic Furs Unleash a Wave of Nostalgia at Culture Room

When The Psychedelic Furs burst onto the art rock scene in the late ’70’s, the English outfit were helping to create said scene. Labeled post-punk for their arrival after the punk explosion, yet preceding the torrent of new wave that engulfed the ’80’s, The Psychedelic Furs scored huge hits both…

Cameo Frontman Larry Blackmon: “Sincerity Turns Me On”

Around this time every year, Cameo frontman Larry Blackmon gets calls from people he hardly knows saying, “Larry I love you! Happy birthday, man!” But they never know when his birthday is — it’s listed as May 24 by some sources and May 29 by others. Few beyond close friends…

DJ Adam Foster’s Favorite Tracks of May

It’s official: summer is upon us, and June is right around the corner. That doesn’t mean much for us South Floridians. It just goes from being pretty hot to really hot. For the rest of the country though, summer time is special. It means festival season, beach season, boat season. No…

Hollywood’s Blast Is Out to Break Hearts and Make Music

Nothing makes a preteen heart swell quite like a boy band. A single boy is a powerful enough force in the life of a 13-year-old girl, but when you assemble multiple boys — who can all play instruments like rockstars and sing like canaries — it’s game over. Benji Roberts…

The Psychedelic Furs Are Still Looking Pretty in Pink

Like talent, it can’t be taught. Like the wind, it can’t be caught. And like cool, it can’t be bought. Not at any price. It can’t be bottled, it can’t be boxed, and it won’t go in your pocket. It can’t be touched either, but it wants to be touching…

Their debut single, “Cruise,” is the best-selling country digital song of all time. And yet the band is among the most insufferable acts to ever muck…

Rittz and Crooked I Come to Propaganda with Help From a Nastie Friend

The sometimes-glorious, often-notorious Miami rapper-slash-actor Notorious Nastie is an enigma. And we’re no Alan Turing, but we think we’ve sort of cracked the code to South Florida’s underground hip-hop scene by letting Nastie drop his insight on us like a firebomb. Notorious Nastie brands himself a nightlife impresario and entertainer…

Five Best Music Events in South Florida This Week

Ten Songs for Fallen Soldiers This Memorial Day

We often think of the last Monday in May as a day revolving around beaches, heavy drinking, and barbecue, but Memorial Day is meant to be a day of observance for the soldiers who lost their lives in war. Started after the Civil War as Decoration Day, Memorial Day became…
