Remember, if you wanna get listed, send us your tips / event listings.

Amazon Indians from one of the world’s last uncontacted tribes have been photographed from the air

I always thought that PA Governor Ed Rendell seemed like a pretty cool guy but a recent Huffington Post article (posted before Hillary Clinton’s “big” win in Pennsylvania) shows the ex mayor of Philadelphia acting like a salty old baby to a small group of college kids.

WFMU is one of the best radio stations on the air today and the Best Show is, uh, one of the best shows on the station. On April 1st, the show got even better for Herbie Shellenberger (the guy with the V-neck sweater on) of the excellent Philly indie-pop group Brown Recluse Sings - Tom […]

That’s an unfair question since one of those guys isn’t real. But, Mayor Nutter knows how to keep it real - he’s such a big fan of HBO’s The Wire (AKA - the best television show evar!) that he’s arranged for a special network-sanctioned screening of the series finale at City Hall on Sunday night.
The […]

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 […]

Yeah, I know that there is a writers strike going on and all that but the kids need their mathed out tech metal-hardcore fix.
Crazily, Conan O’Brien is happy to oblige the metalcore masses - New Jersey’s Dillinger Escape Plan are slated to be the musical guest on tonights Late Night with Conan O’Brien.  Is this the first […]

Sean Finnegan (of Void) Passes Away At 43
Sean Finnegan, the drummer from the early D.C. hardcore band Void and an original member of the Dischord family, passed away on Wednesday January 30th of an apparent heart attack, he was 43. Sean played in Void while they we’re active from 1980-1983 and was recently working […]

OK, maybe they aren’t conquering the world but brothers Mike and Tom Quinn are making some big moves.

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 […]

Time Machine time: It’s back in they day and you are hanging out in Trenton at City Gardens wating for Quicksand to play. How do you kill that time in between bands? You could play pinball or try to scam on chicks. Nah! That’s stuff too jock-ish. You need something to read and Norm Arenas’ […]

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 […]

I think that it’s probably no secret that I really do think that Clockcleaner are one of (if not thee) best bands that the City of Brotherly Love has to offer. And, while I have mixed feelings about the perceived power of the Pitchforkmedia website, I was pretty excited to see Clockcleaner’s Load Records debut - Babylon […]

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 […]

It’s kind of crazy - with technology enabling anyone with five minutes to kill and internet access the ability to find and download even the most obscure music - vinyl records seem to be seeing a bit of a resurgence. The coolest thing about this whole MP3 revolution is that I now have fast […]

Giant Robot - the fanzine dedicated to covering Asian and Asian-American pop culture - has hit issue FIFTY! That’s a Godzilla-like accomplishment. And in this issue they interview our friends.

John Redden (and some silent partners) bought the Barbary in Fishtown and it just re-opened the other night. For what we’ve heard, the place is going to be really sweet and the DJ booth/soundsystem are going to be next level. 
The whole deal’s got me wondering if other bars/clubs/lounges are a bit worried, since John’s Socket and Hands & Knees […]

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 […]

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 […]
