West Palm Beach’s Lavola: The Best Band You Don’t Know

South Florida natives make great, big noise
It’s close to midnight, and I’m driving through a deserted commerce park in Jupiter. I’m trying to follow sketchy directions on my phone’s voicemail that end with the phrase, “Call me when you’re lost.” Not an issue: I head towards the wall of sound coming from a unit in [...]

I’m Getting All SXSW-Y Next Month

In the meantime, dig this.
I love writing my weekly column for New Times. But there’s more to life than meat (not much more, but more). Which explains why I’ve cracked open my American Express points-bank and cashed in for a ticket to Austin next month: I’m covering SXSW, bitches!
If you know what SXSW is, I’m [...]

Ashton Kutcher on SNL: Can’t Even Make Farts Funny

News flash: Kutcher and SNL writers are still talentless.
Ashton Kutcher, well known social media junkie and hugely irritating waiter actor, hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend in an attempt to combine two hacky, talentless products of pop culture in the hope that something good will result.
No such luck. When they decided to try for [...]

Die Antwoord from South Africa

Zef rap rave.
Here’s the deal: it’s tough to take it seriously when someone raps “I’m a ninja,” even if the cat goes by the name Ninja. But it’s still worth catching these two videos from Die Antwoord (The Answer) a zef-rap-rave band from South Africa. What’s zef? Open to interpretation it seems: some say it means [...]

Taylor Swift Sucks Out Loud on Grammys

Michael Jackson “Earth Song” an insipid mess.
I stopped watching the Grammys a long time ago; before I started earning a living as a recording engineer, before a label insider told me what I had long suspected: that the entire thing was rigged like a Cuban election. I stopped watching simply because it was too painful [...]

Rammstein Gets Hardcore

Literally.
If you like the combination of black leather, German bands, pornography and the objectification of women (and really, is there a better combo to be had anywhere?) you’ll love the video for “Pussy,” the new single from the German band Rammstein.
I even like the song. Much of it is sung in German, which I don’t [...]

Dave Matthews

Someone, please make him stop.
Here’s the basic fact: I can’t think of a single band anywhere that comes close to being as irritating as this bunch of pompous musical douchemonkeys. I’m not saying every song that band has ever done completely sucks, but most of them, yeah, pretty much.
And that’s only half of the [...]

Psychedelic Furs And Happy Mondays At Revolution

An actual review of sorts.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Psychedelic Furs. Back in the early nineties, I was on staff at the recording studio in which they cut “World Outside,” and I thought the lot of them were just peachy. So when my buddy Alec told me he was friends [...]
