There’s plenty of poetry in music, and music itself is the less socially awkward, cuter cousin of poetry. Both evoke all kinds of emotions through things like words, beats, rhymes, and notes. It’s all (f)art. The Palm Beach Poetry Festival is merely days away, and we didn’t want to overlook…
In “The Motto,” Young Money rapper and former actor Drake raps in his lazy, Weezy-wannabe singsong manner: “You only live once/That’s motto, nigga, Y.O.L.O./And we ’bout it e’ryday…” His lines always seemingly drenched in ennui, Drake was once best described by a fellow New Times writer as a guy who’s…

While everyone else in the world are trying to keep their chilly booties toasty, we’re stripping down and cooling off in our mama’s pool. It’s hot, friends, and it’s winter. To even mention global warming, with 80 degree weather dominating December and January, would mean to admit that the polar…

Something like 150,000 glow stick-clutching, Molly-munching, neon hat-wearing, EDM-loving beautiful freaks plop down in downtown Miami each year for Ultra Music Festival. They bring us business, like a lot of it, and all kinds. But they also block Biscayne Boulevard, a strip of US 1, and, at times, horrify the…

When Smokey Robinson, the legendary R&B singer and songwriter, told us on the phone that he was a fan of Lady Gaga, we weren’t surprised. First of all, he appeared recently on The Voice, so he’s not out of the loop, and these days, thanks to TiVo, even our parents…

Update: Even creepier still, the #cut4Bieber hash was seeded by internet trolls months back. It was originally a hoax created to have fans cut their hair because they said Bieber had cancer. It’s not certain how many images of sliced wrists are authentic. It’s clear the Internet is the tool…

You’d think an act named “the Coral Reefer Band” would never get the chance to leave the dark, dank corner of your local old-guy bar. But when that group, even with the dorky pot joke nestled so comfortably amid its letters, is led by Jimmy Buffett, well then, fire up the jets!…
