More post-game including photos and videos this week, but here’s a slideshow to tide you over from our friend Lauren Eileen. If you’ve got a Flickr page or photos to share from yesterday, please send links to TIPS [at] PHILEBRITY […]

Friday:
>>> Thrilladelphia: Awww, gyeah. Tonight, we fly the flag for Golden Ball at The M Room. But seriously? That is not even close to everything that is going on tonight. The Lilys and Bitter Bitter Weeks play The First Unitarian Church; and The Capitol Years, The Situation, Robert Skoro and Saxon Shore take on The […]

>>>Will Electric Factory announce two nights of Radiohead at the Tower — June 1st and 2nd– on Monday?
>>>Who’s calling L&I on the Grape Street Pub? Is it the Riverdeck? Better yet, who effin’ cares?
>>>Do Boss tix for the Tweeter show go on sale a week from tomorrow?

A Pink state goes blue? This song’s pretty corny, that’s the wrong dress to be sittin’ like that, and Madonna called and asked us to tell you she wants her haircut back, but, damn, bitch can sing. More important than any of that, tho, is what this belleweather is telling us: when Roxborough wiggstresses […]

Naw, it ain’t ‘cay-enne peppa’, or ‘pass a good time’ (though we like the sound of that one), or ‘Fo true’ (roughly translated: Fo sho’). It’s some band at Jazzfest’s motto: The More You Drink The Better You Think We Sound. Crazy, man. Where does he come up with this shit! We had some variation […]

Fishtown residents in Philadelphia have a right to plan the development of our neighborhood. We oppose casinos in our community and all communities in Pennsylvania as they would be the result of legislation passed without public involvement.
Take it from us: Hell hath no fury like a neighborhood of Arctic Splash drinkers scorned.

File this one under This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Other cities certainly have their own wars and rivalries on the Rants & Raves section of Craigslist, but for some reason (Del-Val Bitchface Disease? Overcompensating Asshole-itis?), Philly has taken it to the next level, to the point where we are a national Craigslist […]

>>> Beware of May 16: Unsatisfied with the thrills of parenting via cel phone and hashing out immigrant family drama for all to hear, Philly cab drivers plan to go on total strike. Philebrity staff currently in an emergency meeting to decide whether these guys can eat the same plate of fuck we assigned to […]

>>> Thrilladelphia continues its ramp-up of terror! Stop by the Khyber for Extra-C night with The Future Tips, This Radiant Boy, RareBirds, and you know, free Yards. (Sorry, we left Metroplex off the list because their bio actually contains the following sentence: “Mix the unstoppable energy of HOT WATER MUSIC or FUGAZI, the melody of […]

Fresh Air from WHYY, April 27, 2006 ¬? Recent controversies such as Google’s business in China and the U.S. government’s role in policing eBay transactions have put a spotlight on the intersection between governments and the Internet. Legal scholars Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu address the issue in their new book, Who Controls the Internet? […]

Formerly from Philly, newly axed Voice Music Editor Chuck Eddy (pictured, right) is the latest used piece of jet trash to be expelled from the airlocks of the New Times mother ship, which bought the Voice last year and has been slowly but surely disemboweling its codgered innards. Hard to say how we feel […]

So let’s say you’re a slightly bored grocery tycoon, and not much phases you. But it’s cool, you’re into it, just so long as it stays out of the papers. The ennui and malaise of jetsetting about the globe with young girls lends any affair a level of heightened, um, something. But then, your antics […]

Lookit all da pretty horses!

OK, bad news on the raver front — who the fuck still raves, anyway? — the Feds have, uh, nationalized the local Ecstacy distribution biz, which was apparently run by the Vietnamese. Take that Ho Chi Minh! 230,000 hits sent over Niagra Falls in a barrel without so much as a glow stick for protection! […]

¬? Capitol Years Ringtones. If this doesn’t smoke Non D. Plume out of his hole, we just don’t know what ever will.
¬? Just announced: Thrilladelphia All-Night Closing Party with DJ John Redden. We can tell you where, but you will have to MySpace us. And wait.
¬? Who will be the special guests at The Philebrity/Thrilladelphia […]

Jojo starts to do his I-gotta-pee dance everytime the political discussion here goes beyond ‘Was Belle & Sebastian better before or after Isobell left?’ But the alarming fact is politics has morphed beyond usual eye-glazing wonkery, regularly-scheduled scandal and resultant public apathy into something so dark and pernicious that a Supreme Court Justice openly talks […]
