if you missed them the first time around, well, they’re back. post-pinkerton, matt sharp left weezer (bass) to concentrate on his rentals side project full time.
well, he has reassembled the band, albeit with only one of the original members and they just played a saturday night residency at spaceland in LA, and i caught […]

The war pigs Bush administration has recently announced a genious plan to sell billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of weapons to our good friends in the Middle East: Israel (but definitely NOT Palestine), the royal family of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Apparently, these countries […]

“Just leave it. we got it.” Yes, this is the motto for the shit pioneers of Sprinkle Brigade. Established in 2005, Sprinkle Brigade is a group of basement dwellers with a sick, but humorous affection for fecal matter. As stated on the site, their mission is to put a shit-eating grin on all of the […]

Mondays can be hard. Walk it out with this illness.

It seems that the crazy/beautiful, talented and vegan (ie. perfect for me) Fiona Apple likes her dudes old and dirty like Jonathan Ames. Keep going for a hot make-out picture and a link to the full story and some videos and bullshit…

Labuda is not at the compound today so i slipped up and didn’t see he left me a note on the bat-fridge telling us to post his picks. so here they are in boring list fashion!

 Now that I am an old man, I usually only go to shows to see one band and then head back home.  However, sometimes I luck into a show that is so epic that I will show up early and sit through every band playing.  For Philadelphia, tonight at is one of those kinda nights!

I found this pretty cool web application on my friend’s website that does more than a normal captcha application. A captcha is one of those things that have the words you enter when you go to a website to make sure you are a human instead of a computer.

The preliminary hearing for the South Philadelphia man accused of murdering a 15 year old did not take place as planned on Wednesday, after the defendant was beaten up just before his hearing while waiting inside a holding cell.

This should really be pissing people off but no one even cares. The United States Army is putting it’s FPS game “America’s Army” in arcades around the country to recruit your children grown men to fight for the rich white guys in charge. Because you know war is just a game and no one ever […]

So in the form of a text message from my ex-girlfriend, I was infromed last week that new evidence has come to light in the infamous 1993 West Memphis murders . This isn’t exactly breaking news being a week old, but cut me some slack. I just got my internet turned back on. Anyhow, for […]

I have no idea what this is or why steve posted it but i’m plopping some text down here because i hate posts without an explanation! - hans.

Last night, Minirich and I ventured down tha shore to see The Man in Atlantic City on the last night of his U.S. tour. I’ve never seen Morrissey before so I wasn’t fully prepared for the weirdness.

Alexander Vinokourov has been found guilty of preliminary doping with a blood transfusion after his win on Saturday’s time trial. His team has quit the tour with 2 general classification top places Andreas Kloden and Audrey Kashechkin in places 5 and 8 respectively. Vino who has had a rough tour will probably never be able […]

Our pals Chrischarge, Mini Rich and Mike Quinn tipped us that Morrissey stopping into Tattooed Mom’s for a drink last night. Word on the street is that the evening involved some faux mingling, some fan snubbing, some pushing and shoving and other drama!  It’s stuff like this that makes Philly my favorite place and Chrischarge […]

If Friday night doesn’t kill you, Saturday surely will…

perhaps, you’ve already seen this, but perhaps you haven’t. it’s philly’s own michael lenahan getting gored in the shin by a bull at the running of the bulls.
now as someone who has actually done the running of the bulls, i have to say that you have got to be pretty stupid/drunk to actually get […]

Cue that Amebix record: Remember a while back when two train hoppin’, soap dodgin’, circle-that-A types stomped another punk rocker to death on the roof of a West Philly squat and then hightailed it out of town before the long arm of the law could nab them? Well, guess what…they got CAUGHT!

OK i lied. My main man Dennis Kucinich is putting his interns up for adoption to help fund his fledgling campaign. Even though the man is the sanest person on the Democratic ticket with the best ideas he is also the man with the non-white-soundingest name, has a peace symbol in his logo and is […]

Reminder! This Saturday night, England Belongs To Twee returns to the Upstairs section of the Khyber. McKee and Labuda will be reunited (and it feels soooo gooooood!) and ready to rock out.  Mike will probably bust out the punk rock classics and the riot grrl jams. I’ll spin some street punk gems and some lovely […]
