I just got back from seeing Tragedy at the First Unitarian Church. I’m covered in sweat and crust-punk neu-smell. I’m tired/ I want some pizza. Yet still I give you the weekend picks…

A few weeks ago, before the flu absolutely crippled me for a while, a friend pointed out a weird posting on the Philebrity blog. Philebrity editor and co-founder Joey Sweeney has long since held a giant grudge against (or hard-on for) the Philadelphia noise-punk mess known as Clockcleaner. This grudge is childish to the point […]

If Tanis Half-Elven was to fire a steel tipped arrow at some Burmese nationals while hiding out in the Fuherbunker, you’d have my last week’s movie selections. My movie mash up review this time will consist of Dragonlance (2008), Rambo (2008), and Der Untergang (2004) as a pleasing palette cleanser.

All you have to do is look somewhat attractive, stay out of trouble and read the goddamned news off of a teleprompter. It can’t be that hard, right? WRONG! Bikini-pic emailing CBS3 reporter Alycia Lane has fucked up before but she’s probably never fucked up this much! The cover of the New York […]

This is kind of insane.  Yesterday, A&E announced the Jan. 8 premiere of Parking Wars a 20-episode series that looks at the men and women who, depending on your point of view, either help keep our streets clear or make our lives miserable -  the ticket-writers, booters and tow-truck drivers of the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
My favorite […]

Fixed Push, motherfucker!

I first read about this in the Sept 2007 issue of Smithsonian Magazine. The article was about a device called a molinillo, which is basically a fancy stick used to stir chocolate drinks. Anyways, the article talks a little bit about the history of chocolate and how the world’s changing and people buy chocolate in […]

We know there are plenty of boards out there but if you just NEED a place to post random shit here is your place to do it. Also if you are too lazy to use our email link you can use the board to post your tips, random comments, shameless self promotion and event information. […]

You’re a goddamned idiot but boy do we have a handbag for you.

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 […]

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.

Barry Bonds’ home-run record breaking baseball was purchased at auction by Hip Hop Clothing mogul Mark Ecko, a fact confirmed by the auction house it was sold in, SCP Auctions. Details after the jump.

Apparently all of us here at FV are on vacation!!! I Just wanted to let everyone know that we still love you! Seriously…WE SUCK.

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 […]

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

It seems legendary and long defunct Born Against have been playing shows lately and just so you don’t get caught wearing a lampshade we got the scoop right here to keep you in the know. More bad Born Against puns after the jump!

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 […]

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.

I kinda feel bad for the “Cracker” sporting the small ball sack who pulls up at a stoplight next to the obvious “Alpha Cracker” with his GIANT BALL SACK dangling from his trailer hitch! What an awkward life moment. Maybe he can counter by painting his ball sack to look like brass balls and add […]

As you know i live in South Philly, in “the neighborhood”. You don’t fuck with anyone’s shit here lest you are willing to suffer the wrath. Some shitface privileged white fucks think it’s cool to get mad ups by painting directly on people’s houses. This will not stand. Whatever happened to self control and […]
