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 […]

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 […]

Chris Cole and Hot Wax are premiering their second video, Shred The Gnar.
The premiere is October 11th in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, the suburbs of Philadelphia. For more information call G-Spot Skate and Snow 215-949-9190.

Jeopardy is probably my favorite TV show. Last night while watching the show I was amused to note that one of the contestants was sporting the early to mid 90’s emo/indierocker look. She had on these cat eye glasses and she looked like, well, she looked like she’d just gotten back from the More Than […]

Yo! Mtv Raps was probably the best show to ever air on Mtv. Puma is coming out with some limited edition Yo! Mtv Raps Clydes.  Actually, I think that they debuted some Forever Fresh Yo! Mtv Raps x Puma Clydes last year and now they are teaming up again to drop six new pairs.  I […]

If you are of a certain age and you were into skateboarding then chances are pretty good that you were a Natas Kaupas fan. I know that I was!
How could you not be?
The guys name was sataN spelled backwards. He had a really innovative and sick style. His hair and skate style were weird as […]

Ever since i heard the term “Pro-ana” (pro-anorexia) i’ve been amazed at how huge and open their, for lack of a better term, movement is. The BBC is doing a report on how these groups are thriving on internet social networking sites like myspace and facebook.  “Dr John Morgan, a consultant psychiatrist St George’s University […]

So I’ve been searching the web for awhile now for footage of Straight Edge in the news media. I’m specifically looking for the 48 Hours and 20/20 reports from the mid 90’s and the local Philly news affiliate coverage (I remember they were in the now long gone C.I. Records store off
South Street) that […]

As a youngin’ I was skeptical about the clumsy, bobble-headed “Pizza Time Players” at my local Chuck E. Cheese Crappy Pizza Joint. Even at the tender age of 8 I had a sense that something was awry. Truth be told, that mouse made me uneasy. Little did I know, the only thing that stood between […]

In 1990 I was in 6th grade and my older sister bought Depeche Mode’s Violator. I universally despised nearly everything my sister liked and assumed this wold be no different. I was wrong. I would never admit it, but more than once I snuck into her room to borrow that cassette.

Philadelphia Magazine has a nice little write up about our pals Track + Field. It’s probably not as fashion-forward as their mention on Hypebeast but Main Line Soccer Moms have deeper pockets than internet sneaker fiends, y’know?
Internetters can buy bags at the Track + Field site. In Philly, visit the Deep Sleep boutique […]

Today is Go Skateboarding Day.
I don’t really know what that is or means but I do know that “Weakness” is THEE BEST skaterock song ever and that Philly rules! Take some time out of your busy schedule to get outside and practice those ollies.

Again our main man Ed has hooked us up via email with bunch of links (which is good because someone has been slacking). Among them was this gem which is right up the FV alley. Replate.org is a place, nay a movement that is very simple. Don’t waste your food homies. Got some leftovers? Put […]

Oh man!  You know how when you wanna make fun of some part-time punks  that obviously don’t know what is up you can call them “mall punks?”  At the Deptford Mall in suburban South Jersey, the mall punks are no joke and they may have taken hardcore band lyric cries of riots in […]

I only heard the Rapture once, i guess about 7 years ago at the Rotunda in West Philly. A friend thought i would like them, they were mistaken and i fucking hated them and sat outside oogling cute chicks instead. But for all i know they’ve improved with time or you kids like this garbage. […]

“Do I listen to pop music because I’m depressed or am I depressed because I listen to pop music?” - High Fidelity
My father used to sound like a broken record when he’d repeatedly tell me, “I know why you’re so depressed! It’s that negative music you’re always playing! You need to listen to something more […]

Like most guys I’m a sucker for stupid stuff that I used to love when I was a kid, like BMX bikes, Skateboards, and other crap that make me pine for the days of carefree summers and sleeping in, where my biggest problem was having to mow the lawn . Nostalga seems to always strike […]

Why not treat yourself to some chuckles by Chikles? You deserve it. TV’s equivalant of comfort food, The Commish, has been off the air for nearly 12 years now but that won’t be a problem since at my last count three season were currently available on DVD.

Michael Chiklis was surprisingly charismatic as Tony Scali, the […]

OMFG! Spoiled fucking brat 13 year old Morgan Pozgar was crowned LG National Texting champion on Saturday after she typed “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from “Mary Poppins” in 15 seconds. When asked what she was going to do with the $25,000 (that’s more than some vampires make a year) in prize money, the super speedy spawn of […]
