Danation: The Big Gulp

Dan Sweeney — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:35:19 +0000

So, I’m sitting watching the State of the Union last night, and the response of course. I’m tweeting out all sorts of quasi-funny nuggets, like: As he grows older, Mitch McConnell just looks more and more like a turtle. It’s starting to get eerie. #SOTU Or: “We must do more to combat climate change.” Yeah, [...]

Arielle Castillo — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 14:00:26 +0000

Last year, dance music icon Fatboy Slim celebrated the return of his Big Beach Boutique festival, a summer event that helped define the aesthetic of his Big Beat movement in the ’90s. This bigger, better edition hit the new Amex Stadium in his native Brighton, England for a two-day stand, packing in tens of thousands [...]

Hear Hums’ Mitch Myers Starts New Solo Project Peace Arrow

Monica Uszerowicz — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:55:20 +0000

A delicately crafted hybrid of ethereal folk and airy drone, Gainesville-based trio Hear Hums can inspire a million magical daydreams with its entrancing soundscapes: samples of chanting, field recordings, antique instruments, and accompanying psychedelic visuals; it’s a haunting, layered combination that’s been done often, but not usually this well. Which is why we’re sad about [...]

Macho Mayor: Why Carlos Alvarez’s Return Is So Typically Miami

Salty Eggs Staff — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:00:07 +0000

What do you see when you gaze into the rippling, babbling, lush-and-beefy orange pectoral muscles of Carlos Alvarez? Earlier this week, when Miami New Times broke the story of his participation (and victory!) in a bodybuilding competition last November, I was hypnotized by the former, infamously recalled mayor of Miami-Dade County and his Herculean torso. [...]

Danation: Farewell to Daniel Inouye, the Senate’s President Pro Tempore — and Its Biggest Badass

Dan Sweeney — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:59:04 +0000

Among all the talk of fiscal cliffs and shootings, the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii on Monday didn’t reach the level of newsworthiness to which it was perhaps due. Following the death of Sen. Robert Byrd in 2010, Sen. Inouye became the longest-serving member of the Senate’s majority party, and thus the Senate [...]

Erica K. Landau — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:43:24 +0000

Miami New Times, along with sister paper New Times Broward-Palm Beach, will be the latest creative types to call the arts neighborhood Wynwood home when they relocate in February to the Wynwood Building, that angularly gridded, black and white hypnostructure off Northwest 27th Street and Northwest Third Avenue that was also the last Goldman Properties project to [...]

After being on the run for years, facing charges of conspiracy and multiple acts of arson, Rebecca Rubin turned herself in to U.S. law enforcement on the morning of Nov. 29. She is accused of belonging to Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front for several years starting in the mid-1990s. The FBI labeled both ELF and ALF “terrorist [...]

Bobby Load, 1970-2012

Dan Sweeney — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:29:29 +0000

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, Bobby Load was a drinker with a singing problem. He died this morning after weeks in hospice, and long weeks in the hospital before that. His death surprised no one. Really, he’d been dying for 20 years. If you were out on the local music scene from about 1995 to 2010, [...]

Want to Play Basketball for a Miami Team Ladies? Better Do It in a Bikini

Tara Nieuwesteeg — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 17:55:04 +0000

I won’t waste time detailing what the Bikini Basketball Association is, since you’ve probably already seen posts announcing its impending debut on any number of click-hungry websites. All you need to know is that (1) the Bikini Basketball Association (the official website of which is set to launch in 22 days) is the latest in [...]

Pompano Beach Producer Numonics Pays Homage to Fiona Apple with “SMOKINGAPPLE”

Monica Uszerowicz — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 12:00:53 +0000

The release of Fiona Apple’s fourth album, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, was a reminder to people like me — people who love her visible combination of emotional fortitude and fragility — of what she was like [...]
