Bye-bye Neil Rogers
June 23rd, 2009 · Miami
Alfred and I used to listen to Neil Rogers all the time — when we were in middle and high school. Not so much in recent years, though I’m sure that has nothing to do with Neil’s decision to call it quits.
According to the Sun Sentinel, Neil’s long simmering on air dispute with his bosses at WQAM has finally come to a head and, despite having a contract through 2013 worth a reported three-quarters of a million dollars a year, he’s out now.
No goodbye show? That’s kinda sad. Woulda loved to hear Larry King call in to wish him well.

Bella Rose is Miami’s Best New Bar
June 9th, 2009 · Bella Rose, Cocaine Cowboys 2
The Miami New Times has declared our very own Bella Rose Miami’s Best New Bar of 2009:
In the Boom Boom Room’s former digs, with the help of Cocaine Cowboys producer Alfred Spellman and tastemaker Keith Paciello, a unique lounge has blossomed. What keeps this Rose from wilting are reasonable drink prices and no shortage of debauchery. Bella Rose welcomes everyone. There’s no door drama. Yet it has attracted the likes of Calvin Klein, Josh Hartnett, Kirsten Dunst, and Mary-Kate Olsen. And to top it off, local scenesters Alexis Mincolla, Nick D’Annunzio, and Jochy Ortiz have given the bar’s patrons further reason to visit with the Saturday party Bella Donna and the end-of-the-weekend massacre, Black Sunday.
Also, our friends at Honor Roll Music were awarded Best Songwriter:
Honor Roll and its founders — Nick Scapa and J. Reade Fasse — have amassed a roster of local notables including Awesome New Republic, Nick Kruge, Bob LaDue, and Dead Hookers Bridge Club (many of whom are graduates of UM’s Frost School of Music). They’ve scored commercials for big campaigns such as Geico, State Farm, and Visa. They also created the score for Cocaine Cowboys II and placed songs in prime-time TV shows.
