All photos by BleedingPalm.com. As you know, we over at County Grind celebrated April 20, the international day for stoners, by bringing you traditional pot songs covered by our area’s musicians. To wrap up this smoky week, Bleeding Palm and County Grind went down to Jared Cole’s Toker Productions’ eighth-annual Fest-Ovis…
James Newell Osterberg Junior, better-known to the world simply as Iggy Pop, is and will always be one of rock’s most indelible icons, a man who literally put himself on the edge and defied his fans to get the better of him. Iggy, who was born April 21, 1947, could…
Can we say that Record Store Day is the best thing that happened to music since the Beatles? Sure, this is a big, awkward claim, but we’re going to haphazardly make it anyway. There is nothing that brings people together like RSD to revel in the sounds and feel of…
Better than: blueberry pancakes in bed. Going to West Palm Beach is to me, in any case, a miniature vacation of sorts. This past Saturday, the weather in Miami was so astronomically dismal that I was actually glad to be at work and not necessarily dreaming of playing golf or being…
The hits were immediately accessible and radio-ready at that. The voice that sang them was a mournful croon, operatic in timbre and flush full of desperation and desire. Even the trademark shades couldn’t mask the sadness spurred from inside. Even so, Roy Orbison (born April 23, 1936) was one of rock…
Better than: A cowboy hat on a summer day.It had all the hallmarks of a heavy-metal show: denim vests, short skirts, pattered cowboy hats, and long locks hanging freely down the back of fire-breathing bowling shirts worn by aging headbangers toting bottles of Bud Light with tales of Hallandale’s Button…
Music vet and New Times scribe Lee Zimmerman offers his insights, opinions and observations about the local scene. This week: In memory of icons and institutions. It’s been a hell of a week in terms of losing legends. Two of them in fact. Gone suddenly, though we knew it was inevitable,…
It takes a special kind of person to nab a space in an up-and-coming area and turn it into a successful vintage store.After Saturday’s grand opening, it looks like Andrew Vincent, owner and manager of Public Image Vintage Clothing, is that special guy.The store has technically been open for a…
Polynesian culture is an easy fit for Fort Lauderdale. It’s a city long associated with leisure that came into its own around the same time as the newfound middle class found fascination in the late ’50s and early ’60s with tiki idols, puffer fish, and the natives of the Pacific…
She’s a blonde bombshell, barely legal, and has a knack for causing media frenzies due to her provocative outfits and on-stage behavior. But, despite Taylor Momsen’s rock n’ roll exterior, the Pretty Reckless front-woman is actually quite sweet. In a recent phone interview, Momsen chatted with the New Times about…
Sarcasm doesn’t always come across in writing, and it certainly didn’t in this post. I get why commenters below called this “the most insulting thing on the Internet,” and that’s why it has been removed. New Times regrets the offense we’ve caused and hopes you’ll stick with us in our…
Editor’s note: If you grew up in South Florida, you’ve lived a delightfully half-baked existence. You’ve definitely smoked the stickiest crippy and the worst Jamaican schwag. County Grind got all stoned and thought, why not ask these toasty South Florida musicians to give us a taste of their favorite pot-inspired…

Click here for the full hologram slide show of dead celebs we’d like to see live again. We crossed a new boundary in culture. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but we’ve broken a seal. Yes, hologram technology has existed prior to Tupac’s appearance at Coachella, but there’s something different…

Sharing your personal musical favorites is an intimate act. It’s like getting naked in front of another person. They can see your flaws. They know your predilection for Mariah Carey, which would be like a boil on your bottom. That Kraftwerk love, that’s your smooth skin, and the Chris Brown…
In case you haven’t already heard (we’ve only mentioned it a thousand times here at County Grind!), this Saturday is Record Store Day. Radio-Active Records will not only be pumping out the jams for swarms of loyal vinyl lovers but also playing host to a slew of indie craft and…
Shopping options for fans of vintage clothing in the Fort Lauderdale area are limited. There was a point in time when patient shoppers could rummage through area thrift stores and surface with affordable, unique, and functional finds.
