Last Wednesday, Philadelphia heavy hitters Clockcleaner played a show in Brooklyn with The Dustheads and the reunited Midwest hardcore legends Negative Approach. I missed the show but word is that it was pretty epic. The ‘Cleaner are no strangers when it comes to pulling epic pranks but it’s pretty safe to say that Negative Approach […]

More than enough has been written about Diplo, and if I have to ever read another interview where he talks about moving to North Philly, starting Hollertronix, breaking up with MIA, or popularizing Crunk, I may have to start poppin’ glocks down at the local alt weekly offices.But with amidst all the furious typing, one […]

Forget Rap O’Clock, dun - it’s rap week…an entire week dedicated to rips of old hip-hop tunes over at at the ever excellent dollarbinjams blog. Why? Um, because the Philadelphyinz are getting you hype for their Sunday 4/6 Rap Bar Mitzvah at Silk City. Which will be awesome - duh.

Normally we’re not in the practice of freaking out about a show but every once in a while the approaching weekend contains a show so completely off the chain that we can’t help ourselves. This Saturday, Obits make their Philadelphia debut at Johnny Brenda’s. We try to make it a practice to not get too jazzed over […]

Lil Wayne’s been fucking shit up lately. Since his last “official” release “Tha Carter II”, dude’s dropped an insane number of mixtapes: freestyles, remixes, live tracks and collabs. Many are available for free on the interweb but sometimes they have ads edited over the music, “YOU JUST GOT HIT IN THE HEAD BY AN […]

In the spirit of shit we already done told you is worth your time I feel like I need to mention that Matthew Schnipper has launched a digital-only record label called Friends. The label pretty much puts out worthwhile jams by Schnipper’s friends - duh.
One person that is Matt Schnipper’s friend is Maxmillion Dunbar. His […]

Radiohead is one of my very favorite bands of all time, if not my favorite. Now they have ditched their label(s) and are currently offering their new album “in rainbows” for pre-order at radiohead.com. You can either preorder the actual physical disk and box art for a whopping 40 pound sterling or pay whatever you […]

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 […]

Shift Industries is a cool as blog/website/collective/whatever. They recently tapped the Philadelphyinz duo to make a podcast mix for them. The Philadelphyinz are a hot DJ crew that (try to keep up here) that are from Pittsburgh but one dude in the crew lives in NYC and the other dude lives in Philadelphia. […]

Our Boy Gordon Bombay has a new podcast that we highly recommend you check out. We’ll let him tell you about it.
“This started as a podcast to promote a DJ night that never happened. Push the Button is a live DJ set recorded by me, Gordon Bombay on a weekly/bi-monthly/monthly/whenever-I-get-the-time-to-do-it basis. I intended to give […]

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 […]

Usually I hold off on weekend picks until tomorrow (actually, lately I’ve held off completely and have been chilling out at the beach on Fridays) but every once in a while a show comes around that looks so fun that I feel I would be a jerk if I didn’t mention it earlier. This, […]

 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 dude Ben Manzone made an excellently chill summer mixtape that I felt the need to share with all of you.  Grab the tape and tracklist plus a little explanation after the jump. Then, sit back and relax with a nice cold beverage.

A few years ago, jae kwon invited me to join a mixcdclub. What’s that you ask? Find 11 losers friends. Assign a month to each friend and take one for yourself. If you have months left over or you ran out of months too soon, then you fucked up. Otherwise, each person sends a mixcd […]

Dave Nada is pretty much the man!  He is based outta Baltimore so you know that he loves the Old Bay and club music, young. 
A long long time ago, Dave and Tittsworth came up to Philly and dropped a MIND BLOWING set of live PA Baltimore Club at ye olde Silk City (R.I.P.).  For my birthday […]

This morning I noticed that Pitchfork reviewed “Flight Of The Bass Delegate,” the new Jai-Alai Savant record. They gave it a pretty decent score , too. Which is more than I can say for their score of the newest Hail Social record.
Anyway, I don;t know if I can really consider J-A S […]

While his dual computers kick out the jams (mp3s: Hold Up and Bounce That), Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) takes a moment to lock eyes with one of the many Providence Hiltons in attendance.

The clock counts down to Armageddon, as yet another prophecy from the book of Morissettradamos has come true, “It’s like when the headliners for your anti-immigration rally get turned away at the border. Who would’ve thought? It figures.”
