>>> You could go and rock it with Dan SouthCongress spinning avant jazz and dub, etc. at Johnny Brenda’s. That probably won’t get cancelled. >>> The Castanets were supposed to be playing at the Kensington South Forum, but Snowmageddon ’05 makes that seem unlikely. OH, NO, WAIT! It’s happening. >>> Oh, and also, Dune is [...]

Thank you for your articles on the recent demise of Y-100. As being personally affected by the situation, 2 friends worked there on salary not as interns, I feel that this is the best option for the city of Philadelphia. As a cancer to Philadelphia’s choice of music, Y100 has helped popularize the likes of [...]

Of all the wild things that have been thrown over our transom in the past few days ó a fully cooked and seasoned London Broil, countless bags of flaming poo, a signed and framed Creed promotional photo ó this might be the wildest. PNI (Inq & DN) is considering printing a free daily to compete [...]

But really, at this point, it’s hard enough to just put it together that he’s talking at all. DN: Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em!

Apparently, hell hath no fury like a Nickelback fan spurned. We awoke this morning to this onslaught of weakly worded, barely logical ramblings. The last time we had so much beef with people from the Northeast was at our family reunion last summer. Enjoy! From: j.m.c@verizon.net Date: Sun Feb 27, 2005 7:27:08 AM US/Eastern To: [...]

(Ed: This is a new weekly feature by Benny Philebrity where he will attempt to explain complex, universal truths using the other-worldly Chinatown bus system as his microcosm.) Benny loves himself the Chinatown bus. Not only is it an economical means of inter-urban transportation, it also offers its riders critical insight into the workings of [...]

Emily Dufton, who among other things is cute and made loving references to the latest Kings of Leon record in her submission — always a plus folks! Have fun Emily! Love always, Philebrity.

If you were at our Valentine’s Party, you heard us spinning the new Kings of Leon record. Not bad for a bunch of brothers who grew up playing jug-band music in Appalachia. But, we have one pair of tickets for tonight’s show at the TLA compliments of Cornerstone. Who wants em? As per usual, email [...]

Ok, yes, Y100 was representative of more or less everything that was wrong with the rock ‘n’ roll business as we know it — the flaccid, consultant-fed playlist, the patronizing bone-throwing to cool/local bands, the utterly douchey morning hosts — but perhaps we were a bit early in dancing on the Coldplay grave: I guess [...]

Of course you did, you old fucker. Now pass us the clove cigarettes and Geritol! Icepack: AD Chews The Fat Wit Jay

No, you weren’t suffering from total mind-blown-osis during the heavy final scenes of last night’s episode of The OC: That really was Matt Pond PA covering “Champagne Supernova” as Summer and Seth reunited upside-down-Spiderman-kiss-style. Boner city! OC News: Matt Pond Kicks With Beck, et al On New OC Mix EW: Summer & Seth Reunite

But before you do, please, please make sure to file those TPS reports.

That’s right, Mr. Holding-the-Torch-for-Modern-Rock. You won’t have Y-100 to soundtrack your life of total and utter mediocrity anymore. Why, pray tell? Amidst rumors and speculation and emails and oh my, the word has come down that Y-100 is changing formats and staff and in fact, will cease to be, and grant the wishes of everyone [...]

And, from reports, it wasn’t even a good one, like a Cobb, say. Penn students: so ghetto. DailyPennsylvanian: But Daddy Says Salads Should Be Free!

It’s so nice to see good things happen to people who hate that manipulative cooze Wendy Pepper. Bravo: All About Jay Boston Globe: Jay’s Victory Lap

Hey, everybody, look! It’s the Tom Goes To The Mayor Videogame! Weee!

Seriously, it’s not cool. Knock it off unless you want a fat lip. What, you can’t holler at New York Girls? Bad enough that today, you’re playing footsie with PhillyMag writer Moe Tkacik — all those PhillyMaggers have such a boner to play with NYC boys, they’re a lost cause anyway. But Doree Shafrir? Seriously? [...]

This, from Mark Drucker‘s obit: In the mid-90s, Mark co-hosted and produced comedian David Brenner’s syndicated radio talk show. Drucker and Brenner still play golf together occasionally. He also filled-in for Dick Cavett on a syndicated talk program. File under: Insult to insult to injury. KYW: Mark The Shark Dead At 48

Never one to back off the trail of a mildly interesting, vaguely hasbeen-y indie movie star, that lovable scamp Pressler will follow a lead anywhere… even to Hollertronix, which, last time we checked, featured no employees of PhillyMag on the decks, which, you know, just goes to show you how unafraid she is to step [...]

But we don’t think they are. Instead, says Cool Doug, they are the faces behind the Kensington South Forum, that new arts space way up yonder in the minor key. Bringing acid folk to Kenzos? God, it makes so much sense when you think about it. PW: Mellow Gold, Just Off Mascher
