The Wynwood Big Buy: How a Few Wealthy Developers Misappropriated Street Art to Jump Start Gentrification

post thumbnail

Graffiti, in one form or another, has been a form of human expression since the birth of our species. Its modern incarnation developed during the late 1960s in the Northeastern United States, primarily in Philadelphia and New York. A few aspects differentiated it from simply writing political slogans or obscenities in public spaces and on [...]

Black Moth Super Rainbow Brings Psychedelic Synth-Pop to the Stage Tonight

post thumbnail

Judging by the group’s masks, semi-anonymity, and stridently untraditional setup — drums, synths, and more machines — you’d be hazarding a good guess if you figured Black Moth Super Rainbow were all about noise. If you’re old enough to remember the Locust, or maybe Lightning Bolt, based on surface impressions, you’d be forgiven for lumping [...]

With about a week to go until the election, there’s not a whole lot more to say about the presidential race. Despite Mexican-American presidential candidate Willard Mitt Romney gaining in the national polls, he’s failed to erase the president’s lead in the all-important state of Ohio, and almost all of the electoral college models have [...]

Newspaper waif Sun-Sentinel threw what’s left of it behind Mitt Romney this morning. In the aftermath, New Times Broward-Palm Beach and Miami New Times were quick to post listicles poking fun at its inconsistencies and shallowness. The poor Miami Herald endorsement got lost in the frenzy, though. (They support Obama, by the way.) But cutting to the chase, the Sun-Sentinel piece, with all its contradictions, reads [...]

Weekend Guide, Part Two: Five Worthy Events Unrelated to Halloween

post thumbnail

In our last post, we rounded up the sprawl of Halloween events starting this weekend and continuing until the actual holiday, next Wednesday. But, believe it or not, not everyone is going with a ghoulish theme for their weekend events, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out a few worth a visit. And [...]

Films Get Weird Tomorrow With a 16mm Sci Fi and Astronomy Screening at the Miami Museum of Science

post thumbnail

Devoted music collectors have vinyl, a format that’s anachronistic enough for hipster cred but still common enough to easily buy and play. We might give extra dedication points, then, to a certain breed of film buffs who can do one better. Just take locals Barron Sherer and Kevin Arrow. Tomorrow night, the two friends, film [...]
