Musical Rumblings: Man Man Hotline/Vicesquatting, At Your Service!
>>> Why the fuck is the Philebrity inbox now the Man Man hotline? Seriously, every time Honus Honus takes a shit on the Internet, somebody forwards us a link and asks us to wipe. Here, ‘Stache gives the skinny on why he quit The Last Drop. Thanks, Internet. [Stereogum]
>>>Espers get asked if they’re a boring folk band on VBS.tv’s Practice Space, and when they talk about shared vice, they’re not talking about a mag collection in their potty cove. BTW, the phrase “stick in your craw” was ours yesterday. Give it back. [VBS]
>>>The Spinto Band give the obligatory Barry Manilow Explanation, talk smack on Delaware, and putting D’s on bitches over at Daytrotter. [Daytrotter]
BONUS ROUND:>>> More Vicesquatting in Philly: In the print edition, Vice gets innit with Pissed Jeans’ Matt Korvette about his day job. Which hurts more people than ours. But seriously Vice, sooner or later, that South Philly couch you’re sleeping on is gonna want some rent. Sayin. [Viceland]

I wonder: How should we feel about the Vice tentacles intruding into Philly? Is this merely Philly getting its proper due, or is it some form of predatory cool hunting?
I didn’t like the asinine tone of the questions; the Espers kids have way too much class and intelligence than to have to put up with insipid pseudo-brash posturing like that. Ask them an intelligent question! Whenever I see the word, “boring” in an interview, I know that an idiot is lurking somewhere in the works.
But that’s Vice: of, by, and for middle-aged adolescents.

Whimsy — predatory cool-hunting. Totally. And it’s funny you should refer to Vice as “of, by, and for middle-aged adolescents”. I sometimes feel like that describes Philadelphia pretty well except the folks I know aren’t quite middle-aged yet.
Be proud, Philebs. I did not send you this. Not gonna lie; I thought about it, though.
