Every one’s favorite vocal Philadelphian racist, (you need to see his showcase of motorcycles covered in Confederate flags, which is extra odd since he’s a Yankee!) Joey Vento is featured currently on the front page of BBC News. Señor Joey, the owner of Geno’s Steaks is once again in the limelight due […]

A few years ago, jae kwon invited me to join a mixcdclub. What’s that you ask? Find 11 losers friends. Assign a month to each friend and take one for yourself. If you have months left over or you ran out of months too soon, then you fucked up. Otherwise, each person sends a mixcd […]

Yup, that’s a picture of Philadelphia Mayor John Street waiting in line for an iPhone. Guess the feds can keep his Blackberry. I wonder if he’s planning on picking up one for Milton too.

Dear Fun Vampires,
It’s too hot in my room and I need to get out and do something but I don’t know what to go to. Can you help?
Love,
Melty
Never fear, Melty. We’ve got your Weekend Picks!

Blam! Philly just hit 200 murders in 2007.  That’s pretty pathetic.

I am an Apple Computers kind of a guy. I have (but never use) an ipod, I’ve had 3 powerbooks, a powermac, I use a macmini at home and an imac G5 at work. But let me tell you this, the iphone is a piece of garbage. Sure it looks kind of pretty on […]

I’m sooooooooooooooooo sorry.
Morrissey regrettably had to end his show at Boston’s Bank Of America Pavillion last night after 30 minutes due to a throat infection that made it impossible for him to continue.

Yeah, I know that it’s old news that this place has actually been re-opened for business with new management and a fancypants new menu for about a week now.  I’m not writing this to celebrate the opening.  I’m writing this to say goodbye.
Look, I’m sure that the new Silk City is kinda sorta like the […]

Philadelphia Magazine has a nice little write up about our pals Track + Field. It’s probably not as fashion-forward as their mention on Hypebeast but Main Line Soccer Moms have deeper pockets than internet sneaker fiends, y’know?
Internetters can buy bags at the Track + Field site. In Philly, visit the Deep Sleep boutique […]

you know that your movement is either on the brink of being co-opted or just being torn down as a total joke (that it was trying not to ever slip into) when the NEW YORK TIMES starts covering you.
goodbye freeganism. now you’ll just be known as some stupid thing for ugly chicks (check all […]

FUCK THE POLICE. nuff said. Actually also, Fuck the south.

In a landmark decision, the Supreme fucking Court decided that a high school student has NO RIGHT to publically display a “Bong Hits for Jesus” banner. Apparently, the implicit advocation of smoking weed is sooooo terrible that it overrides any concerns about Freedom of Speech or Freedom of Religion.
Keep going for a related story containing […]

Last week i saw Paprika in the theater, Netflix’d Nacho Libre and The Thing, watched my own dvd of Gunner Palace (got it for free) and watched Love Me- Love My Doll on BBC America. Read on to find out what i think of this grab bag of flix.

I know you guys are thinking that maybe this has something to do with Pacman Jones but alas i am actually talking about Pac-Man. Pac-Man Championship Edition to be exact. Pac-Man CE is an all new game for the Xbox360 Live Arcade. At first i thought it would just but another half hearted Pac Man […]

I forgot to add this but it might as well be it’s own post. Tonight and tomorrow is the St. Maron’s Lebanese Festival in South Philly. I love going to this every year. In the church hall you have all kinds of amazing food at decent prices, plus lot’s of booze. Plenty of Lebanese chicks, […]

See you tonite! 

Today (after 2:30 pm) also marks the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! 
Go buy some water ice to celebrate.

Today is Go Skateboarding Day.
I don’t really know what that is or means but I do know that “Weakness” is THEE BEST skaterock song ever and that Philly rules! Take some time out of your busy schedule to get outside and practice those ollies.

THE RAMONES — TOO TOUGH TO DIE is great. It came out in 1984. It features Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Richie as The Ramones, none of which played the keyboard or synthesizer on the album [each instrument is features on one song a piece].
