Finally, a group of Soccer Moms have something to be upset about, other than an episode of “The View” being pre-empted for a White House press conference.
NBC10.com: Shouldn’t You Broads Be Busy Watching A Mel Gibson Movie Or Something?

Our prediction: By the time the decade is through, everyone in the tri-state area will have coached the Sixers atleast once.
Inky: Another One Bites The Dust

So, way back when Carson Daly was hosting TRL, did you ever notice that whenever he’d interview someone in the vein of, oh, say Nelly or 50 Cent, he’d lapse out of his usual Richie Cunningham monotone and into a forced form of Ebonics that was pretty much mortifying for all involved? Well, […]

Feel like going out, tossing around a bouquet of flowers, and bringing home the kind of mild-mannered boy who often cries after he masturbates? Well, you’re in luck. Tonight, join Bethany Klein, Todd Siwinski and Butch Sweaters at the 700 Club for the annual Morrissey Birthday Bash.
Not your cup of foppish tea? […]

The WIP 610 morning crew is taking advantage of a slow economy and the inexplicable popularity of The Donald’s bloated jowls via “The Apprentice” by giving 6 recent college grads the opportunity to embarrass themselves (and most likely others) in an on-air competition to win an internship at the station. As the press release […]

The Point, The Bryn Mawr coffeehouse responsible for many a yawnfest featuring the kind of sedated singer songwriters that make Sarah McLachlan look like Wendy O. Williams , will be shutting its doors for good.
The Point, meanwhile, has been the first place many Philadelphians saw Vanessa Carlton, Norah Jones and Howie Day.
Uh, is that really […]

Forget every Zionist conspiracy theory you’ve heard involving a monopoly on banks, the media, and tasty, tasty baked goods. A post on Craigslist, that beacon of insightful and informed commentary, gives new insight on the achievements of our Hebrew friends in this short paranoid rant.
The Jews did it again! Star Wars raked in over a […]

Friday: The Fence Bells bravely play a show at South Philly’s Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar. The show is free and the drinks, as well as the women, are cheap. Come on down and compliment guitarist Jeremy Joyce on his superior beard maintenance.
Saturday:
Click on flyer for full schedule.
Let’s hope Sweeney can manage to stay […]

It’s no secret we love the Yah Mos Def. They definitely hit a nostalgic chord for a certain guest editor who spent her formative years listening to Clickatat Ikatowi, Constantine Sankathi, and every other unpronounceable screamo band born out of a Kent McClard nocturnal emission.
Anyway, last weekend, the emcees were invited by ex-pat Ralph Darden […]

After reading the latest Pitchfork review, we can’t help but wonder, damn, Dr. Dog, did you guys bang this guy’s girlfriend or run over his dog? Help us understand.
Maybe there is a transcendent moment to be had with this group in a live setting, with the beer and the dancing and the cramped quarters and […]

As if anyone needed further proof that frump-lit author Jennifer Weiner is a walking Cathy cartoon, she goes ahead and divides her latest blog entry between musings on ABC’s The Bachelor and American Idol. We can only brace ourselves for the kind of bitterness and bile her blog will spew when her cat knocks over […]

Anyone who caught the Channel 29 Fox 10 o’ clock news broadcast knows that the local news show is on a tireless quest to restore relevance and dignity to broadcast journalism. Nothing drives that point home quite like a feature story on a nubile, bikini clad young college girl auctioning off her body as […]

Never let it be said that the Inky doesn’t have its finger on the pulse of what “the kids” are up to. Now that summer is approaching, Mike Zebe offers some advice on how to party at the Jersey Shore with the kind of girls who sport toe rings and that shade of spray on […]

At the Khyber, Fishtown’s own Golden Ball will be opening up for Michael Gira’s Angels of Light. Golden Ball’s Norm has personally given his word that a fun time will be had by all.
Also on the docket is The Evens featuring Ian Mackaye and Amy Farina at the First Unitarian Church. As always, Ian is […]

It seems like everyone has an opinion on Sweeney’s brush with Johnny Law. According to A.D Amorosi:
hey, I’d arrest anyone who suggested I go to Pontiac
Now, now, A.D., everything can’t be hot tubs and Cristal.
CP: Some Things Are Beneath Even Me.

The things people choose to get up in arms about. Sheesh. Will Bunch’s blog reports that certain conservative blogs are getting their panties in a bunch over the fact that the political course Rendell teaches at UPenn is scandalously easy. Assuming, of course, that their idea of a scandal is someone wearing white after […]

This week, City Paper asks a bartender who may or may not be related to William Penn (named Michael Penn, no less!) about his fears on Philly’s alleged impending real estate crash.
Next week, we’re thinking they might ask a guy who kinda looks like Alan Arkin about his opinion on the city wage […]

The blogosphere is still perpetually blowing Daniel Rubin’s mind.
Blinq:We bet he used the phrase “Culture Vulture” with a straight face
