Mark Mothersbraugh is a compulsive art creator. He’s talking to me from his LA studio where he’s also working on a soundtrack – the former Devo frontman is probably rivaling Danny Elfman for most oddball filmscore works. While he takes a quick break to chat cheerfully about his new art…
Bret Ernst is hustling through his third state in as many days. His new film debuts on a grand scale Friday, and there’s been a lot of preparation to do, like hyping the movie from Seattle to Atlanta at limited-release premiers: Just listening to the comedian’s travel itinerary makes you…
There’s a special place in your heart where only David Lee Roth lives. It’s a tiny room, situated peacefully between your left and right ventricles. Three walls of this magical haven are lined with mirrors, globe lights, and show posters from 1984. There’s a heart-shaped bed in the far corner…
Garlic is the superhero of the herb family: If it could dress itself, it would wear a cape. See, those little cloves are medicinal cure-alls for everything from Athlete’s Foot to high blood pressure; they’re even considered helpful against in combating cancer. Of course, you don’t need a lesson on…
By Thursday night you’re so ready to party. The problem: You live in Boca, Palm Beach, Delray, or some other part of our SoFla county trifecta. What you want: A night club scene like you could find in South Beach, but without the daunting hour’s drive home. Your solution: Thursday…
Valentine’s Day is going to be awkward this year. When they were newlyweds, he’d make a reservation at a cozy restaurant, and she’d shave her legs, and the day would begin with a kiss. But that’s no longer the case. The arguments began small – snappy one-liners about who forgot…
She’ll be expecting you to impress her with something cool and creative for Valentine’s Day. What she won’t be able to predict is a soaring early start. And she’ll never guess that your plans involve trapeze action. (No, not that kind of action, gutter brain.) The lovely circus folk at…
Rocket Boots: You’ve wanted them since you were a kid, if only some brilliant inventor would conquer the technical challenges of defying gravity in a safe, fun, easy to use way — then you could finally soar like the superhero you are. For all you know, that’s exactly what the…
Lent begins Wednesday. That means 40 days of reviving and then maintaining those New Year’s resolutions that you’ve already abandoned. Whatever you give up this year, be it booze, babes, or burritos, you’re going to want a little feast before the fast. Nobody appreciates this lust for abundance like Bill’s…
Tickets for Thursday’s Rod Stewart concert will cost you: your first born (male only), your soul (if the devil doesn’t already have a lean against it), or 100 to 300 bucks (if those are even still available). And with all that you’re still confined to a stadium chair – so…
If you pit the Pharcyde, Elton John, Chicago, and Biggie Smalls (R.I.P) against each other in a game of musical Twister, you would come up with maybe 20 seconds of a Girl Talk song. But we know this. Mash-up overlord Greg Gillis has been topping music critic’s sweetheart lists since…
Hollywood, Florida, is growing and changing everyday. The town has recently embraced everything from gelato to trapeze lessons, but quite possibly the best thing about the city is the current restaurant selection. You’ll find Greek, sushi, steak, and pasta joints that rival anything South Beach offers but at more affordable…
During a yoga session, your body goes through metamorphosis. Granted, some of us experience a clunkier transition of shapes while others slip gracefully in and out of their postures, but the overall effect of springing from coils into lanky lengths remains the same: beautiful. Nobody knows that better than Edward…
The Super Bowl is coming. Seeing pro athletes in action makes you want to toss the ol’ pigskin around too, but sadly your buddies are too busy perfecting their legendary party dips to join you. Fortunately you’ve always had one friend who was never too tied up in his own…
Good pop music is addictive. So when the young group (seriously young folks, who might be playin’ at the club but they sure ain’t drinkin’ there) Manchester Orchestra decided to dedicate its collective post-high school years to perpetual touring (250 shows in 2007 alone), it didn’t have to resort to…
It all started with a nudie calendar. Not your typical “Girls With Ladders” or “Hot Rod Honeys,” but a tongue-in-cheek assortment of hilarious (science-themed) cheesecake pics – the stars of which were skeptics, rational thinkers, or just girls who have denounced god’s existence and figured, “Why the hell, not?” The…
You work a straight-laced day job. You also go to the gym regularly, eat three squares a day, and never date more than one man at a time. Your personal hygiene habits are impeccable. So why can’t you shake the suspicion that deep down inside you’re housing a singing, dancing,…
Other scripts have followed this storyline: two long-time buddies share a hooker only to find out that the results weren’t as sexually rewarding as originally hoped. In them, one of three things typically happens: (1) the hooker dies; (2) the hooker dies, leading one friend to kill the other because…
Martin Luther King Jr. weekend is a time to reflect and use our knowledge of the past to pave a better future. Or it could be a time for gay video porn stars like Benjamin Bradley to do the dirty dirty at Boardwalk (1721 N. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale). The…
These are the perfect days. The ones that soften you, make you appreciate everything you have at this precise moment – especially when you’re watching the national weather report (ha ha, Connecticut!). So what are you doing, sitting there on your couch? Go out and enjoy them! Today, you even…
Rock stars like opening nightclubs. It’s a natural fit — after all, they’ve spent their best head-of-hair years partying professionally. So really, when it comes time to make the tough decisions, like which type of tile floor is the most soothing to pass out on? Or what varieties of liquor…
You couldn’t afford the Jam Cruise. Originally you planned to go, but then that rockin’ blueberry bud crop came into town and — wouldn’tcha know, you wound up short for port fees! No worries, little stoner. While Saturday’s Open Grass Music Festival is landlocked and thus forced to comply with…
