Anyone who knows me knows that I have a huge soft spot for what I call “nerdy scientist movies”. These movies are always terrible, but the plucky and endearing scientist characters make the movies worth watching. Think: Twister, The Core, andJurassic Park (though Jurassic Park is also awesome because of the dinosaurs, obviously). […]

Sami hooked me up with this kid. He can speak for himself.

 
 Oh man. I kinda feel guilty even posting this but it’s an interesting trainwreck to watch. The other night on HBO’s Costas Now, Bob had a roundtable discussion with Buzz Bissinger - the award winning author (Friday Night Lights) and former reporter for the Chicago Tribune and the Philadelphia Inquirer and Deadspin.com founder/editor/blogger Will Leitch and Cleveland Browns […]

The record industry is crumbling. The RIAA is sueing people for illegally downloading music. College kids don’t care about things like that, though. They just wanna be able to excercise their god-given right to download illegal Dave Matthews Band cds in peace.
At Villanova University, students illegally downloading stuff has gotten so out of hand that […]

Yesterday was pretty much a total bust. But we did get our sign on the jumbotron/fanavision, i took pictures of the ball girl’s butt and got some sweet pictures of the lovely October sky.

I don’t think being a ‘goth‘ is that weird.  I don’t even think that being the parent of a small child and still enjoying music and ‘culture’ that you’ve always enjoyed is that weird.  I mean, hey, I listen to some pretty out there music on a daily basis and I think that I’m a pretty normal guy and […]

Clockcleaner are maybe going to be working at coffeeshops five years from now (jokes!) but for right now they are on fire and are easily one of the most exciting bands in the city. They’ve got a new record coming out on Load later this month called Babylon Rules. Next Thursday […]

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 […]

As a youngin’ I was skeptical about the clumsy, bobble-headed “Pizza Time Players” at my local Chuck E. Cheese Crappy Pizza Joint. Even at the tender age of 8 I had a sense that something was awry. Truth be told, that mouse made me uneasy. Little did I know, the only thing that stood between […]

me and s. frank are meeting up in chicago tonight so we can attend this hipster convention. friday night only. yeah, spiderland, liquid swords, and daydream nation.
i’m going to eat a lot of hot dogs and a lot of pizza. funvampires hit up all the douchey shizz!

I’m super over anything with the retarded American Apparel look, even if it’s ironic. BUT, bowling is rad and even more rad, this is in a church basement. And what’s more godly than half naked hipster chicks getting totally wasted while groping some big balls and getting whirled by South Philly Guidos? Sound like your […]

Once again our main man Ed hipped us to some shit he probably doesn’t want to/can’t blog about. So we’ll do it. The fader has up this creepy ghosty choir, sampled from the Poltergeist movie backing up some hip hop dudes most likely known as Hood Headlinaz. Their myspace page is weird. Click the player […]

Yeah we know we’ve been a little slow lately and today is no different. We hate monday’s as much as the next guy, plus we’re all working stiffs. So since we’re either busy or lazy why don’t you, dear reader, tell us something? Give us a tip, tell us what you want more of, less […]

I’m sooooooooooooooooo sorry.
Morrissey regrettably had to end his show at Boston’s Bank Of America Pavillion last night after 30 minutes due to a throat infection that made it impossible for him to continue.

Today is Go Skateboarding Day.
I don’t really know what that is or means but I do know that “Weakness” is THEE BEST skaterock song ever and that Philly rules! Take some time out of your busy schedule to get outside and practice those ollies.

Installment Number One — The Holy Ghost Reception Committee #9 - Songs for Liturgical Worship.
So I like records, new ones, old ones, good ones, crappy ones, basically as long as there’s something worth listening to. I like discovering weird and neat things that I don’t know about, which is why I like wmfu.org and the […]

So philly weekly told you where you can get your dope, but I gotta suck some of the fun outta that high. Compare those spots to this map of murders in 2006. Those corners are in some dangerous neighborhoods! Why’s it gotta be so hard to get some H? Hook those fools up in a […]

While his dual computers kick out the jams (mp3s: Hold Up and Bounce That), Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) takes a moment to lock eyes with one of the many Providence Hiltons in attendance.

steve aoki, reformed sXe band member (and therefore alleged scene-jumper), sibling to a supermodel, son of a restaurant mogul, and indie rock record label mogul in his own right.
another person you probably feel conflicted about (if you waste your time on that kind of thing): do you appreciate that he comes from […]
