This wins my award for “nerdiest rap thus far.” They get bonus points from me for including ALICE in the chorus (rumor has it I was named Alice because of ALICE). I also love love love the adorable dancing scientists! A++ video. This made my Friday.

Or do we?
I don’t know anymore, mang. My brain is so fried and we’ve been totally slacking on updating you on all the cool and exciting things going on in our worlds. Hopefully sometime soon we’ll get out act together a bit more and re-focus on posting more dumb awesome interviews and other crazy/stupid/weird […]

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, […]

My dear far too far away pal Lana has a new TV/Web show that’s coming out soon that i think you should know about. Lana is the head of music videos at The Directors Bureau(home of directors such as Roman and Sofia Copolla and Geoff McFetridge) and now she will be shooting her new […]

Have you ever wondered to yourself “What do you think The Cult’s Ian Astbury has been up to lately? Do you think he likes cupcakes??”
 Sometimes I wonder about things like that…

I vaguely remember the first time I saw the video for Agnostic Front’s Anthem. I wasn’t really into heavy metal that much anymore but I used to religiously watch the late night Mtv shows Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes and the last hour of both shows would usually have some videos with some of the […]

I’ve stated on here in that past that when I was growing up all South Jersey in the ’80’s I was a dorky thrash metal dirtbag. Somehow, thrash (and skateboarding) led me to punk rock and hardcore and, once I discovered that stuff, I quickly dismissed all things metal as stupid and all things punk […]

When I was in high school my friend Andy’s dad used to tease us about being punk rockers. Unlike getting made fun of by our own parents, this ribbing was OK by us because Andy’s dad was Ben Vaughn and Ben Vaughn already knew about being a punk rocker.He was one - way back in […]

In 1992 I was 17 years old. I was a straight-edged hardcore kid living in South Jersey. I was part of what was basically a 3 man crew. I was the punk rocker, my friend Thomas was the metalhead and my friend Brett was the hip-hopper. The early 90’s was a crazy time time for […]

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an article that could have been ripped from a punk rock fanzine circa 1992, asks: Can meat-eaters and vegetarians get along?
“This is the time of year we place a cooked brown carcass on the table, then reach inside its body cavity and scoop out powerfully odoriferous items that people are expected […]

Mike McKee is like the Punk Rock Mayor of Philadelphia! He’s in a bazillion bands, DJs at England Belongs To Twee, is a freelance writer, etc etc etc. Pretty much he’s one of the All Time Best Philly Punx.  Tonight he is kicking off a new event called Punk Rock Movie Night at the First […]

I’m sure everyone has had a situation in his/her life that, in some way, seemed like a scene out of the movie Clerks. “Oh man that’s like when Dante blah blah blah!” “Dude!” Well I can’t recall ever having a moment like that until this past weekend and I’m glad 1) it made me chuckle […]

Happy Halloween, my dear fun vampires. Here are some “horror” themed videos to check out.

Oh man! I’m seeing Van Halen in South Philly tonight. I haven’t seen them since 1988 and I’ve never seen them with Diamond Dave singing. Don’t tell me that you are too punk rock or whatever for the mighty VH. To bastardize a quote from my main man Damone “Can you honestly tell […]

With the release of their third album, ‘Leave Us A Loan,’ The Low Budgets also will release their second video directed by local filmmaker Robert A. Masciantonio who just finished shooting a short film starring the band called ‘The Cursed Organ’ just a couple of weeks earlier. Enjoy a couple of pics from the […]

Fun Vampires Sure Shot Jumpoff Alert!

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 […]

This past Sunday I attended Mass with my parents for the first time in a few years. Not much has changed. Actually, nothing has. Still saying the same prayers, still singing the same songs I couldn’t beleive I still remembered the words. Catholic music being bad is kind of a cultural cliche’. Other religions have […]
