crowd movie of LOVE WILL TEAR US APART with bono after the jump.

Once again in the land of links my boy Ed has found a few goodies. I want to share this gem from Larry Carlson. It’s a bunch of trippy flash work and mushroom psychedelic zombie loops. from his site: “The gate way to the other dimensions are open again! Turn up the volume !Turn […]

Every once in a while someone hips me to some music that I am not all that familiar with (shout out to DJ Mental Feelings)  and I get all excited and fall in love with the Philadelphia indie music scene all over again. 
I’ve been pretty much floored by every single release that I’ve heard Meg Baird sing […]

Straight up, I am saying that the M-Room should, could and can be the new Silk City (RIP).  It’s got kinda the same vibe.  You can get food there.  Hell, it’s almost in the same location (just north a gang of blocks).  This Saturday night some friends and I are going to try to set […]

Well the long weekend is over here in the US. You already read about Lindsay Lohan joining the new fad of getting a DUI and checking into rehab (surprise), the idiot from the Patriots who died while jetskiing without a lifevest, and Cindy Sheehan quitting her top rung role on the anti-war pole. What […]

Yes!  A holiday weekend!  The weather is looking good.  I’ve got the grill prepped and ready and a full fridge of beer.  It’s time to have fun!

Laz D is that heat on the block. Just what block…I’m not sure. Anyway, Laz is kinda like if one of the Kids of Widney High went solo and dropped ill flow. Peep the visuals below, son.

Yes!  Often we talk about Philly bands on here but Philly labels need love too.  The Philadelphia based record label No Quarter is run by our friend Mike Quinn. It’s weird to be proud of your friends but I am really proud of Mike.  He works like 80 hours a week driving a van so that he can […]

The final Paradise at Key West was last night.  Thanks Ron!  Thanks Mike T.!  This night will be missed.

Remember how the city of Philadelphia had the chance to be youth-forward by giving LOVE Park over to the thousands of skaters that flocked there every year but, instead, the city government did what goverment does and blew it big time by making the terrain way less skater appealing and making skateboaring in LOVE completely illegal? 
Some […]

My boy Ed over at the URBN blog IM’d me to tell me about these lovingly created and handcrafted paper Star Wars Vehicles made by SF PaperCraftGallery. They’re even kind enough to have pdf’s of everything so you can make them yourself! Shoot the minoc for more images and link.

Jah sez: The sacred herb gives life not death so legalize it. I don’t know why they made this guy resign. From what I’ve seen most cops could use some w33d. You definitely won’t die but time might go really really really really really really slow.

Andy over at Reference Library hipped us to this vibed out Jim Henson video shown on the Tonight Show in 1974. If only tv had more of this and less of, well everything. click on for the video, man.

This morning I noticed that Pitchfork reviewed “Flight Of The Bass Delegate,” the new Jai-Alai Savant record. They gave it a pretty decent score , too. Which is more than I can say for their score of the newest Hail Social record.
Anyway, I don;t know if I can really consider J-A S […]

that’s right. doctors have recently discovered that the same thing that causes cervical cancer in women (HPV aka genital warts) probably causes throat cancer in men and women alike.
the stats on how much it increases your chances are bananas!

Just watch these roided up retarded jock motherfuckers defend Michael Vick’s alleged dog fighting and laugh about how awesome it is. Someone needs to put these football playing animals in a cage, then tear them limb from limb. Now that would be funny.

 
The Philadelphyinz DJ’s have just released their very first mixtape!
There is a release party for the Bar Mitzvah on May 26th (Apt One’s B-day party too!).  The featured guest DJ is Mike T. of the
legendary Paradise at Key West disco night.   The party is going down at the Philadelphyinz “OG” night spot - Upstairs at the Khyber, 56 […]

While researching Reh Dogg videos on youtube, I stumbled upon further evidence that not only do monsters exist! but they engage in spectacular underwater battles. Beware!
