Monty python animated a canardian vampire interviewing a dead hippy. Stop wars yo…

Natalie Portman (who FV nerd-types may know from her role as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequels Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith) has always been an advocate of environmental causes. We’ve been slacking a bit on the style info here at FV. Anyway, I just found out that Ms. […]

There are a million things going on and I only have time to list the absolute cream of the crop type jawns so if it’s listed here then you know that it’s going to be off the chain …

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 […]

Princeton University’s WPRB is one of (if not THEE) best college radio stations in the entire country. Recently, the student senior board and the station’s Board of Trustees decided that a community-based solution centering on a membership drive was needed to strengthen the station’s future. YIKES!

Jesus the Christ!  Rocktits DJ collective main man Russell Alexander presents a completely devastating brand new mixtape consisting of a 70 minute 60 song all beat matched and blended heavy psyche mix. I gotta be honest, I am usually pretty skeptical of computer assisted mixtapes but this mix is the absolute truth. These guys are […]

Tomorrow is the once again the annual Ratha Yatra, Festival of India in Philly. Everything kicks off at noon at Love Park. A parade of chariots carrying the deities of Jagannatha (Krsna), Balarama and Subhadra devi head down the parkway lead by the Hare Krsna devotees singing and dancing as they normally do. The parade […]

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 […]

When I was a little tyke, one Christmas my parents saw fit to bestow upon me a record player. A real one too. Along with all the requisite Disney albums and other such kiddie fare they periodically supplied me with 45’s and singles of current chart toppers. Your Nena’s “99 Red Ballons” (b/w 99 Luftballons […]

It seems that the crazy/beautiful, talented and vegan (ie. perfect for me) Fiona Apple likes her dudes old and dirty like Jonathan Ames. Keep going for a hot make-out picture and a link to the full story and some videos and bullshit…

If Friday night doesn’t kill you, Saturday surely will…

Dear Fun Vampires,
It’s too hot in my room and I need to get out and do something but I don’t know what to go to. Can you help?
Love,

Never fear, Melty. We’ve got your Weekend Picks!

Oh my god! This weekend has the potential to be completely INSANE. I love Philadelphia! Hit the jump for all the Haps.

Once again in the land of links my boy Ed has found a few goodies. I want to share this gem from Larry Carlson. It’s a bunch of trippy flash work and mushroom psychedelic zombie loops. from his site: “The gate way to the other dimensions are open again! Turn up the volume !Turn […]

Every once in a while someone hips me to some music that I am not all that familiar with (shout out to DJ Mental Feelings)  and I get all excited and fall in love with the Philadelphia indie music scene all over again. 
I’ve been pretty much floored by every single release that I’ve heard Meg Baird sing […]

Jah sez: The sacred herb gives life not death so legalize it. I don’t know why they made this guy resign. From what I’ve seen most cops could use some w33d. You definitely won’t die but time might go really really really really really really slow.

Meet Fenriz of black metal band, Darkthrone and a total sweetheart. Fenriz takes us into his home and back to his roots to show us his most treasured album.

It’s wednesday..trouble getting over the hump? Nothing my favorite apocalyptic bulldozer,  Neurosis, can’t handle.
