So like yeah…more snow forcast for tonight. Friday night is jam packed with action. Things taper off slightly after that. If you were feeling really adventurous, you could book your flight now and fly to Brussels to see Bardo Pond and Clockcleaner (among others) play the Kraak Festival. If intercontinental flight isn’t your idea of a […]

Normally we’re not in the practice of freaking out about a show but every once in a while the approaching weekend contains a show so completely off the chain that we can’t help ourselves. This Saturday, Obits make their Philadelphia debut at Johnny Brenda’s. We try to make it a practice to not get too jazzed over […]

In case you didn’t read the newzzz today [post, ht], America is at new highs in both our prison population and the percentage of our population in prison. We’ve smashed our records. We’re the worldwide champs. Most overall people in jail - 2, 300, 000! What’s up now, China? 1/99 Americans in jail! […]

Holy Franz Beckenbauer - it looks like a done deal. The Philly area is going to get Major League Soccer. Bear in mind that the stadium is going to be in Chester so people might think twice about heading to a match. Still, weirdo Anglophiles and fans of the great game are freaking out. I […]

A few weeks ago, before the flu absolutely crippled me for a while, a friend pointed out a weird posting on the Philebrity blog. Philebrity editor and co-founder Joey Sweeney has long since held a giant grudge against (or hard-on for) the Philadelphia noise-punk mess known as Clockcleaner. This grudge is childish to the point […]

Breaking News From the Fun Vampires Scientific Research Team! FV Science Lead Mike Hore writes: “I apologize for my laziness. I apologize for the slow response. You see, I have been engaged in a great amount of scholarly research regarding a grand unified theory of deez nutz. As Einstein discovered late in his life, […]

This is apparently not the newest, freshest thing to hit the interwebz, but i was perusing the Hare Krishna blogs today and came across this odd creation. I don’t even know what to say about it. The internet has everything.

Big up to ex-Philadelphian Cullen Stalin and his Baltimore crew. Their totally DIY Taxlo party got voted best dance party in the latest issue of Blender. And, yes, that’s Philly dude Diplo on the fader. Straight up, that’s mad decent. Seems like only yesterday we were yakking on the Trackstar Records messageboard and dancing at the Aqua Lounge.

My boy Edro showed me these works of art this morning. One of his boys left ye olde Playmobil Pirates on the radiator and viola! now they are art. Interestingly, they feel more brittle now and would probably break if you dropped them. Feel free to click on the image for a larger version […]

We’re really psyched that Andy Pry has moved back from New York to Philly. Andy’s a great guy and all but he never really struck us as a Brooklyn-type. Now he’s back in the Illadelph and his new party, Excess, at Medusa Lounge looks like it’s going to be great. He’s talking “BIG tunes, […]

Now that the ultra secret, exclusive nerd board is busting at the seams i decided i would post some of the stuff people are writing wether they like it or not. “Myspace” Tom wrote a shitload of reviews of the XNA games that were announced at the GDC last week and put up for […]

Check out this really weird, really short documentary on New York Hardcore.

I hate snow so much. It’s cold and miserable out.  I decided to keep it brief this weekend. I’ve only listed a few things. They are all well worth your time and money.

The fitness craze is just getting out of control if you ask me. Even our barnyard pals the cows have gotten on the band wagon. In this National Geographic video clip we have an interesting case of science and good old fashioned animal husbandry creating essentially the bovine version of a Pumping Iron […]

A while ago, a friend asked me if I’ve ever been to Gay Phil’s (sidenote: Gay Phil is allegedly 100% heterosexual) store. I hadn’t and my answer was probably something like “What are you talking about? He doesn’t own a store.” But, he does! And, some people liked the store so much that they […]

I saw some noisey fucked up rock + roll bands this past weekend. One of those bands, we’ll call them ****** Jeans, would have probably been my bet for Least Likely Philly* Band to be Featured in the New York Times. I think they got at least one thing wrong in the article […]

It’s a slow day at the FV office. Why don’t you grab a donut and learn from CNN about what goes through the mind of a police officer.
P.S. - Fuck ‘em!

See, this is what I’ve been talking about.  There are soooooo many things to do this weekend that it’s going to be really hard to pick where you wanna go. Friday night alone is enough to my my head explode.

Yes! Our friend Pat tipped us about these cool scientist nerd Valentines and we’ve got to agree with him - nothing says “I love you” like Marie Curie. If you are silly enough to hate the french then you are gonna need some other options, right? How about…

The writers strike is over. They kinda settled for a deal that isn’t so great. Whatevs. I’m just glad that the strike’s over so we can get back to hilarious new episodes of our favorite television shows.
