Get with the program and check this new graffiti animation by blu. It’s a few steps beyond your average tag….

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 […]

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

The 2006 documentary film American Hardcore does a decent job of telling the story of the rise and fall of the first wave of hardcore bands. One interesting segment in the movie occurs when the film makers gets all the original members from the Boston hardcore band Society System Decontrol back in the same room together. […]

The LARP I went to this weekend is an Asian-themed game, a kind of mashup of Eastern fantasy elements, with Samurai and Ninjas and dragons and demons. It’s really fun, and it’s nice to get away from the Tolkienesque fantasy cliches found so often in gaming. I tried to take pictures for you guys, […]

Remember last week when we told you about how seriously out-of-control fun the outdoor Paint It Black show was at Sailor Jerry in Philly? Remember the pics and video of kids doing full on dives out of a tree into the crowd? Well, wouldn’t you know that the Mosh Tree has a myspace profile.

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 […]

Pi Lam’s XXX Annual Human BBQ is this Saturday in Philly. It should be a wild time. Me, MTS, Cullen Stalin and the invincible Dave Nada are DJing in the basement. As if that wasn’t enough, check out all the crazy bands that are playing…

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 […]

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…

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 […]

I saw some noisey fucked up rock + roll bands this past weekend. One of those bands, we’ll call them ****** Jeans, would have probably been my bet for Least Likely Philly* Band to be Featured in the New York Times. I think they got at least one thing wrong in the article […]

Yes! Our friend Pat tipped us about these cool scientist nerd Valentines and we’ve got to agree with him - nothing says “I love you” like Marie Curie. If you are silly enough to hate the french then you are gonna need some other options, right? How about…

It’s fashion week in New York. I was shocked to read on fashionindie that, in a baffling display of crass co-option, fashion label DKNY have been locking these bright orange bikes to poles at various locations in Manhattan. That would be a great way of getting peoples attention except

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 […]

Our friend O.B . hooked us up with some awesome Mummers pics that he flicked while watching the rain delayed parade on New Years Day - including one of a guy with a tattoo on his back that says ‘Mummers Forever.’ That’s some hardcore dedication!

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
