​If you thought you'd missed your chance to don your best '80s rocker costume alongside Russell Brand and Tom Cruise, you can breathe easy.

Rock of Ages, the musically inclined film that brought you Mount Trashmore Hollywood Edition and convinced Alec Baldwin to forget about his "newly discovered medical condition," is looking for even more extras.

According to a news release sent out today, the film needs "people in their 20s' and 30s' who can play rockers of the mid-1980."

​Attention, students with writing skills, the beginning stages of tinnitus, and amorphous schedules: An internship has just opened up with your name on it in the County Grind/New Times Broward-Palm Beach den of music appreciation. As we say a fond farewell to newly graduated Jaclyn Rosansky, it's time to bring in a new music editorial intern for the summer.

Emphasis that you must be in school of some sort (undergrad, grad, postgrad, you pick), so that we can give you college credit for your commitments, which would ideally be about 20 hours spread creatively over a five-day workweek starting as early as mid-May.

​New Times has diligently followed the progress of our little "baby metalhead" Harrison Daum Snow. Readers might remember our prenatal celebrity who struck the most rocking pose known to ultrasound? Well since his premature birth in November 1, 2010, the little son of local musician Jeff Snow and his wife Susan Snow has been battling for his life -- experiencing breathing difficulty as a result of a Diaphragmatic Hernia.

The medical costs for the Snows are surmounting. A ChipIn account has been created so people can help out online and a benefit show was held in his honor at Orlando's Redlight on April 2. Tonight is an event that gives Palm Beachers a chance to contribute.

​Late last year we featured Hear Hums, an experimentally inclined duo from Gainesville by way of West Palm Beach, in our Glimpses of the South Florida Scene blog column. Now, the twosome hopes to launch a lengthy tour from Florida up to the northeast and into Canada in May. Like many other upcoming acts, though, the band was seriously lacking the funds to make that happen.

JAPAN benefit MBT 2.jpg
​New Fort Lauderdale warehouse venue the Collide Factory is opening up its space this evening for the Art = Aid benefit, which kicks off a weekly beer garden event at the space. This time, it's in conjuction with the Miami and Tokyo Beer Tour events.

The event, which continues Saturday, is part-fundraiser, part-beer celebration, and part-art installation with a focus on Japanese culture. A donation center for disaster relief charity Shelterbox.org will be on site.

Included in the visual delights is a cherry blossom tree, which has somehow been constructed entirely out of recycled kegs. Live entertainment courtesy of GhettoMetalMusic and breakdancers, and T-shirt silk-screening also figure into the evening for a good cause.

Benefit for Baby Metalhead Harrison Snow

Harrison_Snow_Benefit.jpg
​Our favorite metal horns in the womb rocker tyke Harrison Daum Snow was born last November. Since then, he has experienced breathing problems as a result of a diaphragmatic hernia, and has had several surgeries to help correct the abnormality. This has been a taxing time for Lake Worth-based parents (and Invisible Music players) Jeff and Susan Snow, who have spent countless hours by their son's side at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

Aside from a ChipIn account helping to defray Harrison's medical costs, there's another opportunity to help the Snows with a benefit show at Orlando's Redlight Redlight on Saturday, April 2. Performers on the bill include John Ralston, Grey & Orange, Richard Sherfey, and Mike Dunn.

Sergio Witis and Cowboy.
​Earlier this week, County Grind reported that Everymen washboard player Cowboy is in the hospital receiving treatment after a serious fall.

A benefit concert will be held Friday at Propaganda, and the rest of the band has decided to perform in support of their ailing comrade. Viva Le Vox, Bonnie Riot, the Howling Winds, Heavy Boots, the Shakers, Cop City/Chill Pillars, and Yellow #6 will also take part in the benefit to raise funds to cover Cowboy's hospital bills.

"We're trying to do what he wanted us to do," says Everymen frontman Sergio Witis via phone earlier today. "We're just trying to raise as much as we can."

​Everymen's Sergio Witis speaks about Cowboy here.

Word has trickled in that Cowboy, who plays washboard and guitar for local swamp-folk act Everymen, has been hospitalized after a serious fall from a balcony at his home a week ago Sunday.

According to friend Cecil Lunsford, who is hosting a benefit at Propaganda on Friday, Cowboy does not have health insurance, and all donations at the show will go to defray the mounting hospital bills. "It's really, really serious," Lunsford emphasizes. "He's been in a coma for a week." To protect the family's privacy, the name of the hospital has not been released.

So far, the lineup of locals for Friday's show includes Viva Le Vox, Bonnie Riot, the Howling Winds, Heavy Boots, the Shakers, Cop City/Chill Pillars, and Yellow #6. More names are expected to be added soon.
