"I've seen the devil of violence, and the devil of greed, and the devil of hot desire; but, by all the stars! These were strong, lusty, red-eyed devils..." - Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
It's 2013, and hating on Limp Bizkit, their frontman, Fred Durst, or the moshing-in-JNCOs rap-rock universe of which they are a cornerstone, is something like shamelessly combining the easiest elements of stealing candy from a baby, shooting fish in a barrel, and trolling for lulz.

It's a job better left for hipster-norm pseudo-aesthetes like Chuck Klosterman. It's much more our style to take the road less traveled, revisit the Bizkit's legacy with new ears, and figure out where the band successfully produces art, regardless of how we feel about it personally.

But, uh, in the case of Durst, the band's arbitrarily costumed guitarist, Wes Borland, and whoever the fuck else is in Limp Bizkit, we may have met our match.

Andrea Bocelli is Droppin' Panties and Inducing Operatic Orgasms, February 8 at BB&T

Andrea Bocelli: Professional panty dropper.
Pop-opera (Pop-era? Sorry!) phenom, Andrea Bocelli, could easily gain the distinction of being named County Grind's #1 MVP on Planet Earth.

Well, not really, but you know, he's great. But in this particular instance the "P" stands for, you guessed it, panty dropper!

Yes. It's true. Andrea Bocelli has more hoes - in more area codes - than Ludacris, Hugh Hefner, and Bill Clinton combined, and multiplied by 69. At least that's what we think.

And the record-smashing crossover sensation is looking to add a few more 954s to his lil' black book.

American folk duo, Tina and her Pony, doesn't actually consist of any equine creatures. The Asheville to Taos act has been touring Southern Florida from the Keys to Davie, and Saturday night,  Tina Collins (songwriter, vocals, guitar, banjo, ukulele) and Quetzal Jordan (songwriter, vocals, guitar, cello) will make their last Sunshine State stop at the Beat Cup Cafe in Delray Beach. Before the show, we caught up with Collins and chatted about profoundly magical experiences and nonstop touring.

The Darkness Kicks Off "Let Them Eat Cakes!" World Tour at Revolution Live, January 10

The Darkness
Does anyone else not care even a dusty fart's worth about the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary? 

If anything, it's kind of embarrassing.

Are you really gonna drag out that tired, crippled, wheezing dog-and-pony-show again? Do you really believe Mick Jagger is still "dissatisfied?" 

And besides, why do you want to watch a Civil War reenactment when you could be air bombing the mountains of Tora Bora? 

In other words, maybe you should check out British glam revivalists, the Darkness.

Aerosmith Announce Fort Lauderdale Concert Date on Global Warming Tour, Tickets on Sale September 24

When Steven Tyler first shrieked the repetitive, eponymous chorus to Aerosmith's 1987 single, "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)," do you think he ever considered that he would one day resemble a pouty-lipped, senile granny?

And, while we're on the subject of the perennial frontman and former American Idol host: How do you think his feet really became so gnarled and nasty? Could it have been from a little too much toe-curling "Love In An Elevator?"

If you're anything like us (hairy-palmed, heavy-breathing, dark circles under the eyes) these are the kinds of questions that keep you up at night. But fear not: You may have answers sooner than you think.

Ten Reasons R. Kelly Is Still the King of R&B -- Performance at Miami's James L. Knight Center on October 21

Every few months, R. Kelly slithers out of his sex-weed dungeon to manically and maniacally spatter the product of his prolific undertakings into the ears of the world. His recent time away from the spotlight was even more productive than usual. The infamous R&B megastar dropped a tell-all autobiography, Soulacoaster; a new album, Write Me Back; and just announced a two-month-long U.S. tour, the amusingly titled "Single Ladies Tour."

Miami is his fourth stop on this trek of dirty songs about sex, and we certainly don't want to miss a single filthy word. Get prepped for the October 21 show at James L. Knight Center with ten reasons R. is still the king of R&B.

Surprising Finds from Kentucky Band Fifth on the Floor's Aaron Graham's Music Collection

When the weather in South Florida starts to heat up, we locals get the hell out and go places, far away, very foreign places like Alaska. Recently when heading up on such a trip to Kentucky to visit Southern relatives, word came to us that a musical act from the Bluegrass State was making their way to Lake Worth's Speakeasy Lounge.

Fifth on the Floor is coming counter-intuitively south to perform with Reckless Dames this Monday night. Drummer Aaron Graham was kind enough to allow us a peek into his musical mind by allowing us to critique his CD collection. Here are five of the most curious albums we found on the shelf of an authentic country rocker.

Passion Pit at Sun Fest 2012

Nothing excites us more at County Grind than a show announcement (OK, maybe a few things do, like pizza). And the information that Passion Pit just announced a massive world tour starting in a few weeks got us all worked up, especially since Broward County is on the band's radar. Hollywood's ArtsPark Amphitheatre is the lucky spot set to receive the electropop quintet.

Starting mid-June in Boston, the tour has stops in Canada, U.K., France, and, well, the Sunshine State. No word yet on who will be opening for them, but if their show at SunFest,  their 2010 stop in Miami, and various DJ sets around town are any testament, we're in for a major dance party with lots of ogling girls come this fall. Get ready, fellas.

See the full tour lineup after the jump, with Florida shows in bold.

​Yanni's back -- and he's got a movie.

The South Florida-based pianist will hit the road April 17, when his first concert will be in West Palm Beach. Before that, he'll answer questions from fans in an April 11 webcast featuring questions from fans, according to a release.

All of this coincides with the release of his latest concert DVD, "Live at El Morro, Puerto Rico," which Yanni describes in the trailer as, "You're live, outside, outdoors, on a cliff."

There's also a guy doing a harp solo with Pete Townshend windmill moves.

Funcrusher Lives Up to Promise of Busy 2012

"So much planned for 2012, my head is going to explode!" That's how Greg Einhorn, the affable frontman for summery Lake Worth outfit Funcrusher, opened up the year on his band's Facebook page. 

Remembering that earnest and combustive 2012 proclamation, we took a cursory glance at Funcrusher's page to see how the first quarter of the year was treating the rousing young band. We noted a few shows Funcrusher played this year. A performance at the venerable Little Haiti music hub Sweat Records stood out (check out the group's uplifting and brooding performance of "You're An Avalanche" after the jump), and then there was the promise of a debut EP due out on March 10.
