Freeway, Beanie Sigel, Peedi Crakk - January 4, 2008 - North Philly

June 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Way way back when it was a cold winter, the White Ts White Belts party (with DJ’s Emynd and Bo Bliz - who we talked about last week) played host to a totally D.I.Y. live performance by Philadelphia’s own Freeway. Patrons at the Arts Garage (R.I.P.?) were treated to a bunch of Freeway songs when, […]

Emynd and Bo Bliz - Philly Cats Keeping It Real

May 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

One of the things I love about Philadelphia so much is that most of the time hype doesn’t matter here. Image and hype bullshit doesn’t necessarily work here - you have to rock shit to get people to respect you. And, Philly is a crabs-in-a-barrel kind of town - jealously runs rampant and haters are […]

Rockbox Rox!

Hey, so there’s this awesome thing called Rockbox. It’s open-source firmware for your mp3 player. They support Apple, Archos, Cowon, iriver, Olympus, SanDisk, and Toshiba mp3 players. And they are AWESOME. I bought an iAudio x5 a while back and while I was really happy with the hardware, I wasn’t happy with the firmware. I […]

Paint It Black Absolutely Destroying It (Tree-Dive Content)!

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]
