MP3: Mike June, My Musical Valentine

Categories: Looking Good
Mike June has that Aiden from Sex in the City look and a Bruce Springsteen unplugged sound. The musician was raised in the Garden State but found his home in the capital city of the Lonestar land. June's rich folk rock displays a distinctively Jersey-meets-Texas sound. June is releasing a new album tomorrow, February 14, with his band the Wilson Street Refugees. With all of this goodness going on, Mike June is County Grind's musical valentine.

You've already got the definitive guide to the onboard party, thanks to our sister paper, Miami New Times. Now you just need to pack! 

Drawing from our Floridian expertise of hot and nautical nature, here are a few ideas to help you stay cool, literally and figuratively.

The County Grind interview last week with Bruise Cruise co-captains Michelle Cable and Jonas Stein had some great recommendations about what to bring. But we at New Times wanted to really be there for you in your "Agh, someone help me pack!" moment.

Maybe you've been thinking about what to shove in your suitcase, or maybe you've been too busy working to cover the cost of your rock 'n' roll cruise-cation. Either way, like Madonna's entertainment career, time is ticking down.

​Last week was a kooky time for music and fashion. These two creative arenas are always linked in both ugly and sometimes pretty ways. Musicians think that can design, and since they're rich, they often do. Luckily, fewer designers think they can sing. Although, Tommy Hilfiger singing "You're All I Need to Get By" alongside Mary J. would be quite the treat of the century.
