>>> Viewed by many who care v.v. deeply about such things as being Like The Greatest Living Scottish Band Ever, The Delgados touch down upon the First Unitarian Church tonight. Dig it as they dive headlong into that epic sweep, and clean the clock of the increasingly un-fun Crooked Fingers. Like so:

In what may sadly become a regular feature here — just because now that we’ve started reading the oh-so-entitled and train-wrecky 34th Street online, we doubt we’ll ever be able to properly look away — here’s this week’s Major Faux Pas By An Otherwise Clueless Penn Student: a totally way-off-the-mark “review” of venerable alkie hang [...]

At long last, Philly expats Tim And Eric saw the fruit of their labors air on TV last night. That’s right, after much hullaballoo, Tom Goes To The Mayor aired for the first time on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim suite of programs. (Watch a preview here.) Congrats, boys! Now please get back to work [...]

To some, he was Dirt McGirt. To others, Big Baby Jesus. But to us, he was Ol’ Dirty Bastard. And he loved to party. May he rest in pizeace.

It just goes to show you: Have people tell other people you are Bob Dylan for long enough, and eventually you’ll start reaping Bob Dylan-sized benefits. How the hell else would R5 Productions be able to book Bright Eyes into the Academy? Man, just think how great Conor Oberst’s faux-manic stage-whispering will sound as they [...]

According to this new article in the Online Review, GOP douchebags hired the homeless, the drug-addled and the physically intimidating to freak voters out and do whatever they could to discourage locals from voting Dem. Classic!

Here’s a note for our morning commuters. This morning, just as you are rounding that last dread-filled turn on 676 as you begin another soul-sucking week in the paper-pushing, thankless grind you call your life, you’ll be glad to know that PETA once again has been thinking of you. Look up! Because if all [...]

Seriously: That’s how much PMA folks are spending to promote the upcoming Salvador Dali exhibit, which is sure to be as exciting as an MC Escher jigsaw puzzle. What’s next? A 5-billion dollar wing dedicated to the works of Roger Dean? Actually, that would be pretty sweet.

Alright, alright, it could have been a lot more serious than that. But still. Chalk up another point for our ongoing Eastern Bloc-chic factor. And plus: Who the fuck uses a Motorola anything?

>>> Load up your Graphix and head over to the good-old Fels Planetarium for SonicVision, their new weekly stonerfest laser lightshow. Aye, you say, all well and good, but how has this changed since the days of Floyd and Zep? Why, only in that now, it’s set to the easy and free sounds of: Radiohead, [...]

If it seems like the link we are about to post has the ring of familiarity, well, it does. For over a year now, anytime anyone has shoved a microphone into Mr. Pudding Pops’ face, it’s all he can do to talk about how lame he thinks black people are and how they’re ruining both [...]

>>> Could it be that the South Philly Acme at 10th and Reed is closing down? In the ever-developing Re-Suckification of SoLibs, it’d be a landmark moment. And sources close to lots of old ladies who know suggest that, yeah, it’s true. And possibly as soon as January. What does this mean for South Philly [...]

You know, this party has been happening once a year every year since like 1987, but that doesn’t stop us from going. You know why? Because there is three hours of free booze. That’s a lot by anyone’s standards. Last night’s festivities went down at the Metro Lounge in NoLibs and here’s who we spied: [...]

So you knew this was coming: Stymied by the irreversible plod of progress, Bush-Cheney ‘04 now trots out the jocks. First, Eagles tight end Chad Lewis introduced Bush at his little farm rally in Yardley last night, shared a stage with Smerconish, who also spoke, along with Santorum and Specter and god knows who else.
Then, [...]

Hot on the heels of a just-announced fare increase, now comes the news that oooooooooh nooooooo! Septa’s in trouble! It could go down at any moment! In addition, everyone got all freaked out this morning because someone left their lunch on the El. Terror!

We don’t know why someone over at Philly1.com keeps insisting on videotaping PhillyMag writer Sasha Issenberg, but really, we can’t look away. It’s like Sasha has some crazy geek-mojo that just pulls you in as he’s droning on about political theory. (To clarify: It’s like that, but that’s not what it really is.) In this [...]
