​Did you know that Young Money Cash Money Billionaire boss Lil Wayne isn't actually a billionaire?

Well, homie ... It's true. Despite squashing his $5.6-million beef with the IRS, slanging 1.92 million copies of Tha Carter IV in this totally shitty economy, ranking among Billboard's Top Artists for the last three years, scoring a multimillion-dollar book deal for his prison memoir, and needing to be constantly "wiped ... down cuz i'm filthy rich," Weezy still hasn't managed to stuff a billion bucks into his portable bank, i.e. the rolling suitcase that houses his infamous freezer bags full of motherfuckin' money bricks.

​Simultaneously reviving the clubland economy and refueling America's obesity epidemic, fast food giant McDonald's is damn near ready to crown this year's "hottest DJ" at a hamburger party inside South Beach's Cameo Nightclub.

But first, three mix-masters will have to woo a panel of judges comprised of relatively washed-up "celebrities" like Spinderella and DJ Scribble before walking away with $10,000 and the 2012 Flavor Battle championship title.

Last year's Flavor Battle champ, DJ JayCeeOh, will help judge this year's competition alongside Scribble, Spinderella, and DJ Irie. They'll evaluate mixing skills, technique, performance, and crowd appeal.

​Damn you, leap year! This extra day nonsense is really starting to piss us off. With so much to look forward to in March, the thought of February 29 holding us back is killing us. Especially ever since we found out that Boys Noize is throwing a WMC party at Mamushka's Miami.

The Hamburg-born, Berlin-based DJ will invade Mamushka's on Saturday, March 24, bringing a remix ruckus to Midtown on the penultimate night of Winter Music Conference 2012 . And according to his double exclamation-point tweet sent out three hours ago, it's "bound to be big!!"

This V-Day, leave the smoochin' at the squat.

​Every Valentine's Day is exactly the same -- the candy, the flowers, the teddy bears, and some slutty lingerie.

Don't people ever get sick of spending a bunch of money on a bunch of stupid crap so some Hallmark execs get that big V-Day bonus? Or wonder just what the fuck sex is anyway? Why do we humans want/need it?

This Valentine's Day, you should finally break free of expensive candy and all manner of droll "romantic" rituals, shove a safety pin through your nose, fashion your pubic hair into liberty spikes, and give yourself a nice, hard go-round in the circle pit.

Maybe it's finally time to say, "Fuck Valentine's Day!"

​Once upon a time, some kids from West Palm were chilling at an Ultra Music Festival afterparty in Miami, and they started talking about forming an indie rock band.

We can't be sure if these guys were sober or not. But thankfully, they were serious, and Surfer Blood went on to create one of 2010's most beloved indie debuts.

That record, Astro Coast, was chock-full of chill guitar riffs, catchy yet under-the-radar hooks, and mellow, retro atmospheres -- everything needed for hipster gold.

​Noise. It sucks. It hurts the ear.

But every year, Rat Bastard's International Noise Conference draws sickos from around the world to Churchill's Pub for a free, curated, four-night concert series featuring the worst sounds humans are capable of producing without drones or laptops.

All the bands have terrible names. Here are the ten worst.

​​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!

​The best dance parties aren't the ones you can escape with your sexy intact.

Great nights are the ones that leave your hair a mess and clothes covered in booze. Maybe you wake up the next morning with a headache and a couple of mysterious bruises.

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

​Last time we checked, ANR's Brian Robertson and Michael-John Hancock said they were busy recording an album.

So when 10K Islands' Will Suter emailed us about the band's upcoming show at Mamushka's, we asked for an update on Robertson and Hancock's doings.

"[They've] added [a] live drummer, Luke Moellman, to the mix for their last run of shows around CMJ this past fall," Suter says via email. And Moellman, according to Suter, will be a bit more involved in the recording process for ANR's follow-up to 2010's Stay Kids.
