Tonight at the Snooze!

SHOW TONIGHT: Weird Wives, Low Level Lazer Radiation, and more at the Snooze! ​

You may have heard by word of mouth (the Snooze Theatre's most popular marketing method) that it's a big Wayne's World "game on!" once again.

Jordan Pettingill and C.J. Jankow are moving forward after a month or so of canceled shows, lost potential income, and frustration among the musical community that recognizes the Snooze as an invaluable creative haven. All of this is a result from a seemingly unnecessary raid by the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office, first reported by former County Grind Editor Reed Fischer.

Flo Rida wants to pump you up.

​Although we're slowly easing our way into 2011, we've only come a short way since last week musically. Well, you didn't expect Ke$ha and Flo Rida off the map just yet, did you?

The super-stat-oriented folks at RunHundred.com have revealed their Top 10 Workout Songs of 2010 that have taken over the earbuds of gym rats nationwide. We've taken the time to divide these Top 10 jams into their most rewarding workout categories, so you can experiment with an MYO playlist while you're on the fit (rather than fat) track to 2011. Try to zone out all the gym drama and focus on the (eating disorder) thin figure of Ke$ha and the washboard (we forgot to clean the BBQ sauce off) abs of Flo Rida instead.

An in-depth analysis of the Top 10 Workout Songs of 2010 with workout tips (hoping you can make it through with a spotter) follows.

This list of the Top 20 classic hardcore punk songs is fuckin awesome cause it's full of good shit, but it's terrible because there are way more than 20 top songs and so the list probably sucks as a list. Anyway, it's fucking awesome.

Many famous musicians have spent a day or three in jail for driving drunk, holding drugs, or something really stupid. But only the select few have spent a serious stretch of time in prison, which brings us to David Allan Coe. The original country outlaw performs Friday at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale.

It's confirmed Coe did time at Ohio State Penitentiary and he has famously claimed to have been on death row for killing a man who attempted to procure a blow job from him -- this has not been confirmed or proven false. Although Coe is a redneck renegade who penned "Take This Job and Shove It," recorded the 1970s smash "You Never Even called Me By My Name" and recorded an album with the members of Pantera, he's by no means the greatest recording artist to do hard time. Here's a highly subjective list of the greatest musicians who worried about being some bulky dude's bitch.

1. Chuck Berry



One of the great pioneers of rock 'n' roll -- if not the greatest -- spent 1959-63 in prison for violating the Mann Act, which prohibits pimping and "white slavery." Basically, it appears Berry got busted because he was a black man with a ton of white teenage fans. No saint, though, Berry had already done about three years behind bars from age 18 to 21 for carjacking, a crime he admits to committing in his autobiography. In 1979, Berrry returned to the Big House -- via tax evasion -- for four months.

​The season for spooking is here, and to help awaken your inner ghoul who's been lying dormant, here is a list of ten songs to celebrate the holiday. Some are obvious, some have loose, vague, or quirky affiliations with Halloween themes (you'll be hard-pressed to find some of these on other Halloween top ten lists), and others are just local horrorific awesomeness. This is by no means an end-all Halloween list. In fact, such a list would probably be about 70 percent Misfits. So if you're thinking of hosting your own zombie zoo or rockin' to some tunes on your way to Moonfest, Propaganda, or the Bubble this Saturday, here is something to get you in the spirit.

Hit the jump for the list.

KISS plays tonight at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, but I wouldn't attend a KISS concert if it were in my living room. Here's why.

1. The Music

Kiss has never been known for producing anything but the most simplistic hard rock. On stage, the band struggles to recreate these brain-dead tunes. It's well documented that Kiss' 1975 breakthrough concert album Alive! had to be severely overdubbed in the studio before release. And then there are the lyrics -- misogynistic, humorless and moronic.

How does any grown man with a shred of dignity stand on stage and sing junior high clunkers like "Christine Sixteen," "Love Gun" and "Lick it Up." The latter, incidentally, features a most laughably objectifying video that shows the band sans makeup (watch clip below). Now you see why Simmons wanted the group covered in face paint -- at all times, forever. The teetotaler, former schoolteacher is about as handsome as a geriatric orangutan. Had it not been for Kiss, the unbelievably arrogant Simmons, born Chaim Witz, would have continued life as one of the ugliest, un-coolest dudes to ever drag his knuckles across the planet.

Leonard Cohen

​It's the tour those of us younger Leonard Cohen fans -- the ones who discovered his music through the Natural Born Killers soundtrack, covers of "Hallelujah," or when we walked into a tiny used CD store in Gainesville and heard "Take This Waltz" playing -- never thought would happen.

After gaining fame and respect in the literary world, Cohen began his singing career in the late 1960s, issuing the most brilliantly erudite, sad-sack folk stuff ever penned. Then, with 1988's I'm Your Man album, he introduced humor to his work -- while still exploring sex and spirituality better than any of his peers. Cohen's masterful 1992 album The Future teemed with darkness but, again, cynical smiles and wonderful romanticism are there as well. Having released about a dozen, mostly acclaimed, studio records and a couple terrific live albums, Cohen called it quits -- to live as a monk. But, then, like in a bad movie twist, a former business manager stole his money, forcing Cohen back on the road. Sounds like a perfect situation for the angry artist to drag his ass through the motions just to bank some much needed retirement cash. Judging by the CD/DVD Live in London, though, culled from a show last year, Cohen's craggy croon sounds delightfully expressive, as does his illustrious band and sultry backup singers.

It has been said before but it's worth repeating, Cohen's loss has become the world's gain. In honor of popular music's supreme poet performing Saturday in Sunrise, here's a highly subjective list of his finest songs.

Leonard Cohen, Saturday, October 17. BankAtlantic Center, One Panther Pkwy, Sunrise. Show starts at 8 p.m., tickets cost $19.50 - $252.75 via Ticketmaster.com.
