M.I.A. playing second fiddle to Madonna.

​Today, the world got an overdose of Maya Arulpragasam, AKA M.I.A., who released not one, but two music videos. The first was a featured guest spot on Madonna's "Hollaback Girl" "Give Me All Your Luvin'".

Tween SMS misspellings aside, Madonna's track is basically an ode to herself and how everyone loves her. So unfortunately, M.I.A. is relegated to playing the cheerleader role with a 10-second rap toward the end of the song.

But with all the notoriety that this guest spot is sure to bring her, we're pretty sure Interscope is looking to finally turn M.I.A. into a star.

​Yes, disco follows a formula. But Belgian-Italian producer Aeroplane (AKA Vito De Luca) isn't thinking small when it comes to the genre.

He's not even concerned with floor fillers. In fact, he's aiming for nothing short of cosmic disco rapture, taking his cues from the '70s prog rock giants like Pink Floyd just as much as Italo-disco masters like Giorgio Moroder.

The epic musicality of De Luca's productions is apparent in 2010 debut long player We Can't Fly, which garnered rave reviews from both the mainstream music press and underground EDM critics. In other words, he's found that rare balance between pop accessibility and underground cred.

But fluff aside, Aeroplane's product is still disco, which means he's here to make you boogie. And that's exactly what he intends to do when he stops by Bardot on the first leg of his current North American tour on Saturday.

But, really, who doesn't?

​Just when you thought the fact that Miley Cyrus loves penis cake was officially too hot to handle ... TMZ has revealed that Miley ain't the only one who's got a need for desserts fashioned after gargantuan shlongs.

Yes, it's true, Demi Moore has been implicated in The Great Penis Cake Caper, fresh from checking in-and-out of rehab after a marathon of blasting whip-its like she was Charlie Sheen or Vanilla Ice at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

Check the jump for the sordid, frosted details.

​Football. In Egypt, people rush the field and die about it.

In America, though, we celebrate our favorite sport with boatloads of liquor, oceans of beer, billions of chicken wings, and the robot who was once Madonna.

And obviously, it's way better to enjoy these all-American footballin' festivities in the flatscreen paradise of South Florida's sportsbar scene. Not your smelly living room.

So here are Miami's six best all-you-can-drink parties for Super Bowl 2012.

​​We don't know what the hell Sweden's putting in its drinking water. But the quiet Scandinavian country appears to be spawning a superior race of DJ megastars intent on world domination!

The Swedish House Mafia dudes have already positioned themselves as the prime EDM ambassadors to this decade's mainstream masses. And then there's Swedish wunderkind John Dahlbäck who's been dropping bombs on international dance floors since the age of 15!

There's something almost mythical about DJ Lee Burridge. He's like the Johnny Appleseed of electronic dance music -- a wide-eyed nomad roaming the Earth and planting the seeds of quality sound wherever he goes.

Over the years, it's a journey that's taken him from the grassy fields of UK raves to Hong Kong's cosmopolitan urban scene to Nevada's dusty Burning Man festival.

And at this point, the holy man can gather his hordes of fans at the drop of a club flier. Because when Burridge gets behind the decks for one of his famous marathon sets, you're guaranteed to get a body-jacking roller coaster ride. Like the one he'll be treating Miami to with SAFE at the Electric Pickle on Friday.

​C'mon, y'all!

For many shining moons, Boise Bob and his Backyard Band have been rockin', rollin', and ramblin' down from Hallandale to Little Haiti's Churchill's Pub for late nights full o' hootin', hollerin', and gobblin' "Possum Meat."

And let's not forget ... Anytime you were broke and busted, Bob and his buddies Tex Merlot, Owen Cash, Darnell Hotdog, and Rufus Bacongrease never hesitated to share their supply of High Life, did they?

So now that our favorite "Swamp Song"-ing cowpoke is sick and struggling. It's time to pay back that beer debt. With interest.

​Holy time-lapse! Where'd January go?

February seemingly came out nowhere and that silly little groundhog's predicting another six weeks of winter. This has been a really crazy week. Oh, and happy Black History Month.

Plenty of gnarly shit's going down this weekend en la playa. And per usual, Crossfade's wrangled-up some of our favorite events. Whether you're into "tiki-tiki" music, as Miami girls say, or smoking blunts because joints are "pussy shit," we've got you covered.

Check out our list of the best club parties on South Beach.

Never mind the consequences, epic ragers are the tits, and dirty Dutch house dude R3hab is coming to bust you wide open.
