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 […]

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 next level - this avant-weirdo indie noise band Z’s and their label, Planaria, sent The Howard Stern Show some music and Howard and the gang not only played the music on the air but pretty much goofed on the band the entire time! You couldn’t ask for better coverage. Supposedly, Stern […]

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

As requested: awful and nerdy videogame tattoos. This is the first of what I am sure will be many installments: console and controller tattoos.
Please keep in mind that these are in the category “good execution, bad idea” — the artist did a good job (although those stars up top look really squished and weird and, […]

The internet has been boiling over with poop excitement since the free diy record label poibella released its debut album, compoi0. The album is free to download and contains 29 banging and semi-banging tracks from a variety of “artists.” Poibella plans to release several solo albums this year (also free) and then compoi1 next summer. […]

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 […]

I’m revealing a bit more of my inner nerd than I’d like but there was a time when I, if asked about a particular band, could rattle off all the “ex-members of ” stats and side projects connected to the band, including all one off releases and joke bands. Certainly not that nerdy in […]

Since things have slowed down here a bit, I figured there’s no better time than the present to get all livejournal/xanga up in this bitch. So recently this Fun Vampire has watching a British show called Totally Frank, on some channel that I think is named Family Room HD. The show is […]

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 […]

During my usual morning glance at the bottom of nytimes.com i noticed an emoticon, and being the dork that i am, it caught my eye and i had to click on. =: 0 The article is entitled (-: Just Between You and Me ;-). Turns out it’s about how smileys or emoticons have climbed from […]

“Just leave it. we got it.” Yes, this is the motto for the shit pioneers of Sprinkle Brigade. Established in 2005, Sprinkle Brigade is a group of basement dwellers with a sick, but humorous affection for fecal matter. As stated on the site, their mission is to put a shit-eating grin on all of the […]

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…

 Now that I am an old man, I usually only go to shows to see one band and then head back home.  However, sometimes I luck into a show that is so epic that I will show up early and sit through every band playing.  For Philadelphia, tonight at is one of those kinda nights!

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.

OK i lied. My main man Dennis Kucinich is putting his interns up for adoption to help fund his fledgling campaign. Even though the man is the sanest person on the Democratic ticket with the best ideas he is also the man with the non-white-soundingest name, has a peace symbol in his logo and is […]

Everyone’s favorite non throwing quarterback has just be indicted for dog fighting charges including, trafficking animals, buying animals strictly for fighting and the biggest attention getter, TRAINING and BREEDING PIT BULLS FOR FIGHTING PURPOSES.

So all of us Philadelphians know that the Phillies are the losingest sports franchise in the history of the world. But yesterday we finally climbed to a monumental number no one can top. Our dear Fighting Phils have lost for the 10,000th time. More at ESPN.com
