www.myspace.com/bythewaymusicproductionsIn this economy, people are struggling to keep their homes and jobs, and businesses are closing. If people are investing, they’re doing so conservatively. So it may not have seemed especially prudent when promoters Garo Gallo and Yvonne Colon opened the Bubble four months ago. Outside of the rock-club trifecta…
When Lil Wayne said, “Miami is my home. I’m home, bitch.,” it felt really good. I am a Miami native, born here. When Khaled mentioned that he had seen me on WSHH in the studio with Mack Maine and Kevin Rudolf, I felt like I just won a certificate of…

Songstress and Miami native Sol Ruiz seems to go by a lot of monikers–Neo Hippie Rain Maker of Cuban decent and flower child of Psychedelic Cuban Blues, just a few of them (though admittedly the most catchy). The later is probably the closest thing to pass for a description of…
Fort Lauderdale had its own alley cat bike race this last weekend, the River Rat race put on by Justin Brunetti, who does the South Florida Fixed blog. It was sponsored by the Bike Spot, Atlantic Bikes, and Keirin Cycles of Miami, and they all also donated their time by…
via rpof.orgJim Greer thinks censorship is very American.All summer long I have gone shit-house-rat-crazy observing the likes of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Karl Rove and the rest of The Right’s evil elite dispense fear-mongering falsehoods in a desperate attempt to stop some much needed health care reform.Death Panels…
To understand up-and-coming MC Termanology’s commitment to the golden age of hip-hop, just take a look at the production credits on his new album, Time Machine. It’s enough to make you cry: the Alchemist, Large Professor, Pete Rock, and even the untouchable DJ Premier all lend beats to this sophomore…
The singer of The Great Tribulation has a bit of a name, so he’d rather you not know it. The rest of the band members may have something of a name too, but we don’t know, because they’re not saying. We do know that the name of the band itself…
Rat Bastard is unquestionably one of the most ubiquitous presences in the local music scene. And he has been for well over two decades. When Rat’s not fronting conflagrations such as Laundry Room Squelchers or Scraping Teeth, he’s heading up The International Noise Conference, a weeklong racket of cacophony that’s…
From the land of the pisco sour comes a new, and even more intoxicating Peruvian export–FatKingBulla. Okay, perhaps that’s a bit of a bold statement. Pisco sours are some strong stuff. Just ask my ex-neighbor about that morning I woke up on his lawn cradling his garden gnome (nothing happened…

Swedish electronic dance music has, for the most part, become synonymous with the hopelessly über-commercial and stale sound of big room players like Steve Angello, Axwell, and Sebastian Ingrosso. Stockholm’s John Dahlbäck, however, may very well be an exception, not just in his own work as an internationally-acclaimed DJ/producer, but…

It was 2008, and another term of Republican rule remained a cruel possibility. Then Bruce Springsteen — the year’s second-highest-grossing touring act — led a supergroup that included Billy Joel through a hope-inspiring “Born to Run” at a fundraiser in New York City in October. The Boss then introduced “the…
There have always been misconceptions surrounding Reverend Horton Heat. For starters, there is no preacher frontman – it’s just a name. Then there’s the whole genre-classification issue. Despite the popularity of the band’s awesomely unhinged ’90s cut “Psychobilly Freakout,” the trio doesn’t really fit under the banner or feel a…
