Philadelphia New Years Eve Picks!

December 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Look, I’d be lying if I said I was really into New Years Eve. I’m not. I think that it’s mostly just boring and I really don’t get what all the fuss is about. I still like to have a good time though and, if I was going out to anything other than the house […]

Philadelphia Weekend Picks!

December 28th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Guyz, I’m sorry that I haven’t been around. It’s been a wild week and a half (capping a wild year). I still love you all. Anyway, this is a weirdo weekend because a night after the end of the weekend is New Years Eve.  Still, there’s plenty of fun stuff to do…

Awful Tattoos: Food (Mexican)

December 21st, 2007 · 1 Comment

Here is a special treat for you all: taco and enchilada themed tattoos. You didn’t think they existed, did you?
I can’t even think of anything witty to say about them. They’re just too much. Hit the jump for a cornucopia of the best of the worst.

It wouldn’t be the holidays if it wasn’t awkward.

The classic christmas collab of Bing and Bowie. The beginning dialogue feels like a porno, but no worries… they keep it G rated.

As If Dating A Q102 DJ Isn’t Punishment Enough

December 17th, 2007 · 2 Comments

All you have to do is look somewhat attractive, stay out of trouble and read the goddamned news off of a teleprompter. It can’t be that hard, right? WRONG! Bikini-pic emailing CBS3 reporter Alycia Lane has fucked up before but she’s probably never fucked up this much! The cover of the New York […]

Bloated Philly Government Agency That Nobody Likes Gets Television Spotlight

December 11th, 2007 · No Comments

This is kind of insane.  Yesterday, A&E announced the Jan. 8 premiere of Parking Wars a 20-episode series that looks at the men and women who, depending on your point of view, either help keep our streets clear or make our lives miserable -  the ticket-writers, booters and tow-truck drivers of the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
My favorite […]

Fool’s Gold X The Rub = One Awesome Mix

December 11th, 2007 · No Comments

It’s no secret that I have serious respect for The Rub DJs. Those dudes are pals with A-Trak and Catchdubs.
A-trak is a super sick DJ who happens to spin for someone famous. Catchdubs is also a talented DJ and a writer and a graphic designer (I think…) and he has a really deece blog. A-Trak and […]

Clockcleaner Score a Mighty 7.9 on the Pitchfork Hype Meter

December 6th, 2007 · No Comments

I think that it’s probably no secret that I really do think that Clockcleaner are one of (if not thee) best bands that the City of Brotherly Love has to offer. And, while I have mixed feelings about the perceived power of the Pitchforkmedia website, I was pretty excited to see Clockcleaner’s Load Records debut - Babylon […]
