Do You Guys Wanna See The Band Or Do You Wanna See The Bouncers?

January 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments

I vaguely remember the first time I saw the video for Agnostic Front’s Anthem. I wasn’t really into heavy metal that much anymore but I used to religiously watch the late night Mtv shows Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes and the last hour of both shows would usually have some videos with some of the […]

Movie Review Mashup-January 2K8 Edition

January 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments

If Tanis Half-Elven was to fire a steel tipped arrow at some Burmese nationals while hiding out in the Fuherbunker, you’d have my last week’s movie selections. My movie mash up review this time will consist of Dragonlance (2008), Rambo (2008), and Der Untergang (2004) as a pleasing palette cleanser.

Hey, Just What Philly Needs - Little Kids Set Tripping

January 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Philly has a pretty long history with street gangs, so kids taking dumb neighborhood pride to ridiculous heights is nothing new. What is new, however, is the expanded presence of “National” gangs like the Latin Kings, Crips and Bloods. It isn’t enough that people are getting capped in Philly for relatively minor disses - now someone can catch […]

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Philadelphia Weekend Picks!

January 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment

There’s no real rhyme or reason to it. Some weekends there’s virtually nothing going on and other weekends have toooooo many things going on and it’s impossible to choose what you would actually want to go to.  This is one of those too many weekends…choose wisely!

+ Death To False Metal +

January 17th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve stated on here in that past that when I was growing up all South Jersey in the ’80’s I was a dorky thrash metal dirtbag. Somehow, thrash (and skateboarding) led me to punk rock and hardcore and, once I discovered that stuff, I quickly dismissed all things metal as stupid and all things punk […]

I Feel Like Jerry Lewis In France

January 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

When I was in high school my friend Andy’s dad used to tease us about being punk rockers. Unlike getting made fun of by our own parents, this ribbing was OK by us because Andy’s dad was Ben Vaughn and Ben Vaughn already knew about being a punk rocker.He was one - way back in […]
