According to Philebrity commenter Tim, who submitted this one, “Northeast Philly’s answer to Iron Maiden was Anvil Bitch.” And what an answer it was! This has been your Moment In Philly Choad History.

And at just 15 bucks, it’ll leave you with some change you can believe in! PrintLiberation: Insane In The Brain!

You know how you’re always reading this crazy shit about our local news anchors and after a while, you begin to wonder if there’s actually anyone out there besides the parties directly involved who A) thinks TV news is real and B) has some kind of emotional stake in the comings and goings of their [...]

>>> Well, for starters, Genius Pundit professional watercooler-asshole Michael Smerconish wants to tax fatties using an elaborate system of “caloric credits.” We’re actually kind of into this, right up until the point where you start thinking about what might happen if L&I were in charge of what you eat. [Inky] >>> Also, let’s welcome Metro [...]

>>> Like we said earlier today, tonight is the last-ever Block Party with Philadelphyinz at Cav’s River Deck. What can we say, Yinz? You loved ‘em. Now it’s time to leave ‘em. Give this party a good sendoff, Philadelphia; like Willie and Julio (and apparently the Pet Shop Boys at right) said, you were always [...]

We’ve been mellowing to the work of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel (pretty!) as She & Him rather often this summer, and you can get mellow with us at their Troc show on Friday. After getting all lulled out, Philebrity is hosting the afterparty in the balcony (more info on that tomorrow), and we got [...]

OK, so we love postgreen‘s $100K house concept. Possibly because we’re poor. But after we saw these stylized designs, we realized that they probably meant 100K lindens, which is cool, because they can so spruce up our Second Life. We’re incognito there – it’s our secret shame, largely because our house needs a lot of [...]

OK, you got us. Now, we’re interested. In this Inky article yesterday, not only was it revealed that Larry Mendte was allegedly forwarding goss to directly to Dan Gross via Alycia Lane‘s own email account — which we kind of suspected all along, and not for nothing, Dan, it never occurred to you that something [...]

Failcamp: It might sound like Larry Mendte’s screen name on AIM, but instead, it’s an event being held this Saturday at Independent’s Hall. From 10am to 7pm, Philadelphians will gather to discuss their failures and what they have learned from them. Will they be able to fit all of that failure into only 9 hours? [...]

Hustle Simmons‘s “The Run Down (feat. 84 and Fel Sweetenberg),” directed by Hezekiah. This was a clip submiited for Local Music Video Nite this Sunday at Silk City that we just couldn’t sit on.

Fashion magazines are starting to focus on fall trends and stores are starting to stock jeans, sweater and boots. You know what that means? Summer Sales! Some great boutiques around Philadelphia are throwing some awesome sales so make sure to check them out. BUS STOP is having their MIDSUMMER sale this Friday, July 25th from [...]

Never let it be said that the DJs of Philly do not fight the good fight. Constantly rebelling against the nightlife tyranny proscribed to a too-small loop of recognized, “decent” venues, these intrepid souls continually cart PAs and decks into the most unlikely of spaces, ever with the twinkle in their eyes and the feeling [...]

First, came Joey Vento, who symbolized the great Ignorance displayed across the Souf Filly diaspora, where people of different ethnicities, who indeed personified the great American notion of “The Melting Pot,” yet still lived in abject hatred of one another, staring out their screen doors, making judgements they had no right to make; then came [...]

Today, celebrated Philly band Dr. Dog release their third album, Fate. In what is quickly becoming a Philebrity tradition — we’ve already examined new albums by The Roots and Man Man — Joey Sweeney and Doug Wallen sat down recently to chat about the record, track by track. We’re calling these things The DoJo Debates. [...]

Spiritualized‘s Songs In A And E has been one of the slow burners around here all summer long. Not as ostentatious as, say, Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, it’s still every bit a Spiritualized album, just a lot more folksy — spaces blues, really — and, even in the dour Jason Spaceman [...]

Call your friends and tell them that you love them.
