There was a time when the Manayunk neighborhood in Philadelphia was actually tolerable. Main Street had a really sweet farmers market that was sort of like Reading Terminal West or something. Those days are long gone - the farmers market was knocked down to make room for bougie crap like Restoration Hardware which was in […]

This dog I guess lives at our hostel. I’m glad dogs understand every language (the language if dog love). We had a lovely game of catch and now it’s time to try and do some tourist shit before it rains.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out our hostel gives us free
breakfast. It consisted of all different kinds of bread, butter,
cheese, jams, and some weird canned meat. Praise Allah this bread is good. Now I’d only the American broads staying next […]

We’re out rocking the tourist zones right now. Found a hidden little veg eatery (turned out to be country life, decent food and ok price) that we’re About to hit. I bought labuda a soccer scarf but I’m wearing it and […]

Just got into Prague. We have the worlds tiniest room but its private
and cheap. Were about to attempt going out to a veggie place to eat.
Updates tomorrow maybe.

What better way to celebrate one measly day off from the daily grind than with a new Municipal Waste video. The song is “Headbanger Face Rip”, off of The Art of Partying, their recently released thrashsterpiece. Enjoy, wastoids.

I kinda feel bad for the “Cracker” sporting the small ball sack who pulls up at a stoplight next to the obvious “Alpha Cracker” with his GIANT BALL SACK dangling from his trailer hitch! What an awkward life moment. Maybe he can counter by painting his ball sack to look like brass balls and add […]

During my spare time at work, I’ve been searching the web high and low for the most terrible, horrible, awful tattoos out there. I started a blog (awfultattoos.blogspot.com), realized I didn’t have enough time to update it daily, and have now moved to a snazzy new home at FV! To start off my posting here, […]

Installment Number One — The Holy Ghost Reception Committee #9 - Songs for Liturgical Worship.
So I like records, new ones, old ones, good ones, crappy ones, basically as long as there’s something worth listening to. I like discovering weird and neat things that I don’t know about, which is why I like wmfu.org and the […]

I’ve got a busy day today so this installment of weekend picks is only going to feature a concentrated list of the illest events that you should attend.
REMEMBER: If you think you have a hot tip on something we’d be interested in writing about or you are an indie band that thinks you are good […]

Thanks to the Philly Weekly, copping dope just got a lot easier.  They’ve thoughtfully provided readers with maps to the city’s Top Ten Drug Corners!  Who got that wet?

after years of touring the country/world playing basements and punk warehouses, against me! are primed for the big time, releasing their next album on a major label. they might become the next green day, or perhaps just the next ataris. neither seems likely–they are probably the biggest anarcho-punk band to go major […]

I don’t like to travel. There, I said it. I grew up poor and come from a place that a lot of my peers don’t understand; when you are poor, travel is a luxury and not a necessity, and certainly not something you have to do to become a well-rounded person. […]

Some mornings I read the New York Times online, eschewing the tabloid sensationalism of the Daily News and the Post. Today was one of those mornings, but unfortunately I was not spared the yellow journalism. One headline that stood out while browsing the main page was Stuart Elliot’s, “Super Bowl Ads of Cartoonish […]

This is a chat transcript from a late 90s AOL chat with KoKo the gorilla- you may remember her from getting Weekly Reader books when you were little about her and her pet kitten. The transcript is a total bummer, because it’s apparent that KoKo either does not actually have any ability to communicate through […]
