I didn’t even know the Phils were playing a home exhibition game on friday but my boy Ed asked me to tag along to the game so of course i went! First things first i went to section 128 to make sure they had veggie dogs. Bingo! They did and I snatched up two immediately […]

Let’s play good news/bad news: The good news is that I’m not puking my face off this week. The bad news is that you are potentially not puking your face off this weekend because there’s not a whole lot to choose from. I mean, if you wanna puke, you got choices…

R.I.P. - Philadelphia’s own Puzzles the giraffe.

I’ve admitted as much on here before but it bears repeating - I care more about gross ballpark food than I do about baseball. We were thrilled when Citizens Bank Park offered up some amazing vegetarian options last year. But when Hans FV went to a game to investigate, he was let down. Never one […]

It’s so nice when you stumble upon a sweet zipfile of music. Seeing Red blog has a posting on Philly hardcore and punk bands from 1980-1989. It misses some bands and lists some bands as from Philly when they were actually from outside the area but let’s not quibble - it’s got tons of great old music - […]

Voting isn’t just for old people…Pennsylvania residents are registering in anticipated record numbers in advance of Monday’s deadline to vote in the April 22 primary.
Personally, I switched from Independent to Dem (uh, although I haven’t yet gotten a new voter registration card and I’m not holding my breath) and, if rumors are true, right-leaning radio […]

It feels like someone hit me in the face with a 2×4. I just puked all over the place. Stupid alcohol. Stupid hangover.

There was a time when the Manayunk neighborhood in Philadelphia was actually tolerable. Main Street had a really sweet farmers market that was sort of like Reading Terminal West or something. Those days are long gone - the farmers market was knocked down to make room for bougie crap like Restoration Hardware which was in […]

The weekend is here. You’ve got dance parties, punk shows, me skipping out on my own punk rock dance party to go see Lewis Black in Atlantic City and lots of other crazy stuff.  Let’s get to it…

Attention all conquering lions of Judah -  on this Saturday night the lovely and talented Mr. Mike Mckee brings you theee finest in indie-pop, riot grrrl, twee and other such sweetness and simultaneously asks “Where have all the bootboys gone?”
Regrettably, Mr. Labuda will be unable to DJ that night but join us for a riveting, special […]

There’s nothing left to say.

Spotted at the whole foods on 10th and South in Philly.

Not a lot of rocking and/or rolling this weekend but there is plenty of killer events to shake those hips at…

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of British indie bands and so I got pretty uh, flowered up when I heard that The Charlatans (UK) were releasing their new album, You Cross My Path,  as a free download on the XFM website.  Supposedly, The album will then get a physical release, in the form of CD and […]

My dear far too far away pal Lana has a new TV/Web show that’s coming out soon that i think you should know about. Lana is the head of music videos at The Directors Bureau(home of directors such as Roman and Sofia Copolla and Geoff McFetridge) and now she will be shooting her new […]

That’s an unfair question since one of those guys isn’t real. But, Mayor Nutter knows how to keep it real - he’s such a big fan of HBO’s The Wire (AKA - the best television show evar!) that he’s arranged for a special network-sanctioned screening of the series finale at City Hall on Sunday night.
The […]

Have you ever wondered to yourself “What do you think The Cult’s Ian Astbury has been up to lately? Do you think he likes cupcakes??”
 Sometimes I wonder about things like that…
