| Charlie Pickett Radio-Active Records | Tue., October 7, 8:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
The case of Charlie Pickett is one of rock n rolls classic stories of almost-was. The Dania Beach homeboy spent much of the '80s working the road from here to the heartland, producing three highly acclaimed albums and an EP, and he garnered a rabid local following in the... More >> |

| Phantom Planet Revolution Live | Thu., October 9 | Fort Lauderdale | |
If you were just judging a book by its cover, you would have every reason to think that Phantom Planet was a pretty-boy vehicle spewed out of the shallows of Hollywood. You might misinterpret frontman Alex Greenwald's demeanor as snide and empty. You might also point to the fact that hip actor... More >> |

| Robin Thick w/ Mary J. Blidge BankAtlantic Center | Fri., October 10 | West Broward | |
Robin Thicke is working hard to move out of his father's shadow.

But the younger Thicke is a white... More >> |

| Nikka Costa Culture Room | Tue., October 14 | Fort Lauderdale | |
Thirty-somethings who remember Nikka Costa as the child singer of tunes like "First Love" and "Candy Man" back in the early '80s probably wouldn't recognize the soul-infected, bluesy sound that is the base of Pebble To a Pearl, her latest CD released on the legendary Stax label. As the daughter... More >> |

| Norm MacDonald Improv Paradise Live |
Thu., October 9 more dates/times |
Southeast Broward | |
Landing the anchor's seat on Saturday Night Live shot Norm MacDonald to comedic prominence. His offbeat delivery of offbeat -- if not utterly fake -- "news" for five seasons proved his, um, range. But most importantly, it showed his versatility as a performer and as writer (which was actually... More >> |

| Thank God It's Honey The Lounge | Every week Friday from Fri., August 15 until Sat., February 28, 8:00pm | Central Palm | |
Of all the many reasons to participate in local music (an occasional free bar tab, throwing a little shade at the opposite sex), an earnest attempt at cultivating a cool little scene is too often an afterthought.
That is, unless youre Steve Rullman of Thehoneycomb.com.
For as long as... More >> |

| Open Mic Gong Wild Chocolate Moose Music Cafe | Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm | West Broward | |
Tonight's the night you put on a show. Or the night you get gonged off stage, tarred, feathered, and set ablaze -- not literally, though you will burn with shame. Your pride (and hopes of being Paula Abdul's next pet) will be destroyed by the sound of My-Cah's, um, huge gong. So don't suck, be... More >> |

| Burn Baby Burn Lava Tiki Bar & Grille | Every week Friday, 6:00pm | Southeast Broward | |
In Hawaiian mythology, it is believed that volcanic eruptions are caused not by tectonic plate activity but by Hawaiian goddess of fire Pele, who stomps her feet and digs Paoe, her magic stick, under the earth until a fiery eruption occurs.

| Jazz Jam @ Churchill's Churchill's Pub | Every week Monday | Miami/Central Dade | |
A group of musicians took the stage, and people shifted in their chairs and bar stools to get a better view of the action.

| Society Wednesdays Buzz's Bar | Every week Wednesday | Fort Lauderdale | |
The longtime Duck Soup event is back at Buzz's.

|||
| Danny Daze Glass | Every week Friday, 10:00pm | South Beach | |
It's doubtful that DJ Danny Daze loves the road above all else, but he sure seems to be on it a lot. Mondays at Tabu in Vegas, Saturdays at either Slide in San Francisco or Pittsburgh's Privilege, the cat's back and forth from the airport more times in a week than most folk are in a year. And...

If you believe PRL Euro Café (1904A Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood) owner Jay Rottermund, Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa is just a sexy, communist name for Poland. Actually, it means Peoples Republic of Poland, which as any respectable drinker knows, is another way of saying... More >> |
