Yes! BEN FOLDS of the Ben Folds Five, Fear of Pop, and um, Ben Folds’ solo albums, is performing in South Florida this week! Cross your fingers and hope that he’ll play his X-rated Dr. Dre cover… In the meantime, here’s his G-rated cover of “Such Great Heights” by The Postal Service:
He’ll be at the FAU Auditorium in Boca with DC piano-poppers Jukebox The Ghost opening up. Show starts at 8pm and tickets are available right here.

(Well not versus, really.)
This week PSYCHIC TUESDAYS, one of the best-kept secrets in Miami nightlife, presents guest selectors/record store owners yours truly of Sweat Records and Mikey R. of Ft. Lauderdale’s awesome Radio-Active Records! The musical slant at Psychic Tuesdays is toward the dark, post-punk, goth, and obscure yet DANCEABLE so we’ll both be spinning the bounciest dark gems from our collections for your pogo-ing pleasure.
It’s also 2-for-1 drinks all night so come out!

Hey all,
Just wanted to say thanks to the 350+ who came out to the Upper East Side Garden’s 2-Year Anniversary last night w/ Matt & Kim!! M&K were spot-on and had the crowd going nuts (and yes, they really are that nice and awesome in real life!), ANR opened with a great set, and DJ Hottpants had everyone’s butt’s wiggling in between…
THANKS AGAIN FOR SUPPORTING LIVE MUSIC!! We had so much fun in the Garden we’ll definitely be doing shows there again.
Pics soon!!
UPDATE: A ton of rad pics are up courtesy of the Metromix Street Squad. Click here to see ‘em.
Cheers,
Lolo + Jsin
