Maybe it’s the spring, making us come over all lovey dovey, maybe it’s a spirit of forgiveness we’ve taken on ever since we totally and completely bottomed out last weekend (looooooong story, but suffice it to say we’re blogging today from a place called “Promises”), but maybe, possibly, could it be that we are ready [...]

We heard from a lot of you last week after we ran our psychoanalysis of the Philly.com redesign, and while most of you were like, “Yeah, right on!,” some of you just sent us links that sort of advance the story when taken altogether. They are as follows:
· One man’s “I made this!” is another man’s [...]

CBP on 5/18/08 in the 300 level after the rain delay. That is, in fact, the political map outline of the state of new jersey on the gentleman’s forearm. Sorry about the camera phone shot. If you can’t use it, at least you can sleep well knowing it exists.

>>> Count on Philly’s garage-ist/psych brain trust to keep a rainy Tuesday interesting: The Griefs, featuring mems. of Holly Golightly’s band, and Dark Horse & The Carousels and Love City all play Tritone.
>>> And then over at the Barbary, there’s Get Smart with garage/soul DJs Noah & Ashley.

Well, there was going to have to be rancor and tantrums and freakouts somewhere, right? Upside: The Internet provides a great place for one (or many) to non-violently lose it when confronted with a crisis, as the Ramsey firings most certainly are. Downside: Domelights.com is a public forum, and anyone, anyone at all, can read [...]

After the jump, Brian James Kirk talks with one of the intrepid, unpaid souls who created iSepta, the bold new application that aims — gasp! — to make SEPTA suck less. No, seriously.

Oh, Philly, doesn’t it seem like we’re always bedeviled by the numbers? 10,000 losses. 4 cops. 6th borough. We could do this all day, but there’s no liquor immediately handy, so maybe it’s just best to zip it, read on, and as usual, cry on the inside. Because here comes the cold hard fact that [...]

First Seat Savers, now this! And while, yes, the CCD are on point — locking your bike to a tree is stupid and possibly even harmful, why not point out the real issue: Any tree you can lock your bike to is not a safe thing to lock your bike to. But, oh, these notes! [...]

Ron Crawford is the sneaker store UBIQ’s “Mr. Everything” here in Philly. So by that extension, to a certain strata of Sneaker People, he is the Everything of Everything. Ron does the buying for the store, along with the marketing and general day-to-day operations of the store on 1509 Walnut St. But he’s also an [...]

A few less white people will be populating the streets of midtown Manhattan with the recent shutdown of the P2P Circulator, aka Chinatown Bus for Suburbanites. For an extra $5, the P2P picked you up at 30th Street Station and dropped you off at The Garden — the Madison Square kind — keeping folks [...]

RECOMMENDED: Noise is a black comedy starring the lovable-liberal Tim Robbins as a man who just can’t stand the noises of the city and decides to do something about it. As his frustration with the ever howling car alarms of NYC grows, he takes matters into his own hands and smashes the shit out of [...]

FRIDAY:
>>>As we mentioned yesterday, the Making Time 8th Anniversary at Pure is tonight, and we strongly, strongly encourage you to see Australian pop group Cut Copy before 100 other bands start to sound just like them. Which might not be a bad thing, come to think of it. With Black Kids and Mobius Band, as [...]
