Back in the summer of 1994, every so often, college radio stations played a song that sounded old but also kind of new. It started with a drumbeat, followed by a guitar and bass riff. Then came a voice. A lazy drawl somewhere between rap and song. This was the…

By Vanessa MartinThe name Fusik (pronounced few-sick) reflects this Fort Lauderdale band’s signature sound — a fusion of funk, soul, and Latin genres that glides on the fundamentals of hip-hop and psychedelic rock.

When we were kids, we didn’t have the Internet. We had to keep ourselves entertained the old fashioned way: arson, black magic and — our favorite — lip-syncing. Every day after school, we rushed home, popped in the City of Angels soundtrack and pretend we were Nicholas Cage, as we swayed dramatically…
Mention Jason Statham’s name to any breathing lady or gay dude, especially over the age of 30, and they drool, like immediately. That’s because the action actor isn’t just hot, and British, he’s a generally tough dude. Basically, he’s the man you wish you gay or straight married.Statham paired up…

Emilie Autumn’s got a seriously bold message: “Fight like a girl.” Certainly, like most strong statements, it can be taken the wrong way, but Emilie Autumn is touring the world to prove it’s packed with positivity. Growing up as a classically trained violinist, she always knew that performing and creating…

A lot of booze. If you share our affinity for the outlaw lifestyle, and…
