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 […]

Remember all of those dumb hardcore songs about selling out the straight-edge and stabbing your crew in the back?  Yeah, well in Philly you have to seriously watch it because on North Broad Street you literally CAN get stabbed in the baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! 

Here’s a quick photo sampler of last night’s revelry on the famed and storied path of 2 Street on New Year’s Day. The babes, babies, booze, underaged drinking, broken glass, cops, fights, pizza, thugs, harmony, are truly something to behold, after the jump.

Happy Halloween, my dear fun vampires. Here are some “horror” themed videos to check out.

Here’s some more self-promotion with three new episodes on Lebanon, via VBS. This three-part series is about drugs and Hezbollah, with some gypsies, a disgusting camel (seriously one of the more traumatizing things I’ve ever had to edit) and a blown up bridge for good measure.

… then I have something which will surely make you feel more depressed. I’ve been working hard editing a documentary series for VBS.tv (you know, Vice Magazine’s online video project) about the war last summer between Hezbollah and Israel. This project is epic– I’m cutting about 20 episodes (not to mention editing Israel’s side of […]

mmmmmmm…….Laser Cut meats! Now if they would have only spelled out mooooo!!! Check out how it is done after the jump!

This needs to be an official FV Event. I saw these flyers posted all over the neighborhood and had to invite the masses. I don’t give a crap about wrestling, real or fake but when you add an awesome mask and change the language, suddenly i’m into it. This is at the old ECW building […]

9 Murders in the past 4 days. Way to go Philadelphia, you really know how to have a good time. Keep up the good work. Also Saturday night I was right around the corner from the Broad and Reed murder and my friend walked past the medical guys examining the body, THIS SHIT IS REAL

There has been much ado about the hit Sav Rocca was served by Antwan Barnes. Youtube videos, internet messageboards, etc have lit up with the footage and plenty of commentary about it being an “unnecessary hit”, a “cheapshot” and the like. But less people are taking the time to find out Sav’s take on this.

Andrew Mackie tipped us that the website The Daily Swarm is reporting about a possible My Bloody Valentine reunion for next years Coachella music festival with a tour following the fest. Wait, did they ever actually break up? I think that they just went on hiatus for a million years. For some […]

Bush: “They need to be eating U.S. beef! Its good for ‘em! They’ll like it!”

This past Sunday I attended Mass with my parents for the first time in a few years. Not much has changed. Actually, nothing has. Still saying the same prayers, still singing the same songs I couldn’t beleive I still remembered the words. Catholic music being bad is kind of a cultural cliche’. Other religions have […]

So I’ve been searching the web for awhile now for footage of Straight Edge in the news media. I’m specifically looking for the 48 Hours and 20/20 reports from the mid 90’s and the local Philly news affiliate coverage (I remember they were in the now long gone C.I. Records store off
South Street) that […]

I have found my true calling at last. Candy and Coffee reviewer.When my friend brought to my attention the fact that Hershey’s was about to unleash upon us a new variety of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I was at once excited, hungry, and oddly horny.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
