Holy geez! OK, the newest Paint It Black record is ripping and everything but when those guys play live it’s pretty much a given that the kids will go buckwild. Having said that, I’m betting that the people of 13th Street in Philly had no idea what they were in for when P.I.B. played out […]

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 […]

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.

Yep, that’s the mayor. He high fived my pals, took pictures with mummers and
took boos in stride. Happy new year nutter!

John Redden (and some silent partners) bought the Barbary in Fishtown and it just re-opened the other night. For what we’ve heard, the place is going to be really sweet and the DJ booth/soundsystem are going to be next level. 
The whole deal’s got me wondering if other bars/clubs/lounges are a bit worried, since John’s Socket and Hands & Knees […]

Soon after September 11th, the State Department “Council of American Muslims for Understanding… and the American People” created a “Shared Values” series of public relations videos in order to improve our image in Middle Eastern nations. These videos contain heartwarming stories of Muslims in America but leave out the not-so-heartwarming stories of Americans in Oil […]

I kinda hate jacking from BCO but if I don’t then whatever…According to a post Mr. Ardmore made on BCO, the critically acclaimed Canadian indiepop band Stars asked for an additional security detail for their upcoming Philly show - specifically because of the number of homicides in Philadelphia this year! What a bunch of […]

So yesterday, I was riding my bike to wawa to grab some cool refreshing beverage and I saw a Lamborghini Gallardo with some idiot in it trying to parallel park on 2nd st by Washington. Now why would you be driving that car all the way over there when you are supposed to park it […]

For the past few Fridays I’ve been slacking on these chilling at the beach.  Today I am still slacking chilling at the beach but Pie brought her komputer and we’re somehow accessing the interweb.  I’m gonna keep these picks short and sweet because it’s almost two pm and I already have a few beers in me and now […]

NBC reporter Michelle Madigan thought she was smarter than the hax0rz at DefCon15 and tried to get the hax0rz to admit on hidden camera that they were up to no good. Of course these computer minded geniuses were not dumb enough to fall for it. So they turned the tables and outed this dumbass publicly. […]

Why do some stay dry while others feel the pain? What makes you turn your head the other way? What raises your neighborhood insurance rates? Why does the bell curve blame the baby’s DNA? Chocolate Rain of course. If you have not heard of Tay Zonday and his song Chocolate Rain, I gotta ask what […]

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 […]

The preliminary hearing for the South Philadelphia man accused of murdering a 15 year old did not take place as planned on Wednesday, after the defendant was beaten up just before his hearing while waiting inside a holding cell.

Cue that Amebix record: Remember a while back when two train hoppin’, soap dodgin’, circle-that-A types stomped another punk rocker to death on the roof of a West Philly squat and then hightailed it out of town before the long arm of the law could nab them? Well, guess what…they got CAUGHT!

There are a million great things to do this weekend (including two amazing HC / punk shows!) !!!  Get out there and sweat it out, yo!

Blam! Philly just hit 200 murders in 2007.  That’s pretty pathetic.

Yeah, I know that it’s old news that this place has actually been re-opened for business with new management and a fancypants new menu for about a week now.  I’m not writing this to celebrate the opening.  I’m writing this to say goodbye.
Look, I’m sure that the new Silk City is kinda sorta like the […]

 
My name is Brian Labuda and I hate the Christian Right.
Citypaper Team Dresch interview (shout to Ben Morgan!)
If Banana or I mosh you, we apologize in advance.
See you tonite! 

Again our main man Ed has hooked us up via email with bunch of links (which is good because someone has been slacking). Among them was this gem which is right up the FV alley. Replate.org is a place, nay a movement that is very simple. Don’t waste your food homies. Got some leftovers? Put […]

If you own an xbox 360 and play regularly you will definitely laugh at this. If you have more of a life and do not, you will not get it at all. Fellow nerds, enjoy. Via Joystiq.
