Hey, it’s been a while since we’ve done one of these. We should start this way all the time on Monday mornings — you know, addressing the people, talking about the week ahead, maybe setting some clear, attainable goals for everyone? No? OK. Fair enough. But while we’re here, we would like to say thanks to all of our regular readers, friends, randoms and anybody else who sent in condolences, either via comment or email, regarding our friend Christopher Tucker. These last two weeks have been just a horrible time, and those missives not only meant a lot to us; they meant the world to his family and other close friends. And if you haven’t taken a gander at Tucker’s short story “Elf Pants,” by all means, do.
And also since we’ve got you here, let’s just run down what’s up with us these days: We’re looking for fall interns (bonus points if you write a letter like this to us). And of course, if you’ve got a tip, a funny cameraphone picture or some mysterious riddle of the city that you think only we can solve, send it all to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com. Of course, right? On the events front, we have some cool stuff coming up as well, most of which isn’t fully cooked yet, but keep an eye out for a Stereolab listening party before the month is out, the Philly debut of Glasvegas, some fun Phoodie.info stuff, and come fall, this year’s installment of The 215 Festival. Got all that? Good. Now let’s shred, brah.
ON THE PHILEBRITY HI-FI SYSTEM RIGHT NOW: Jeremy Jay, “Airwalker” 7″; Fleetwood Mac, Future House; Vin Scelsa’s Idiot’s Delight; any and all liquor drinks that contain the juice or essence of a cucumber; and the soundtrack from The Wackness.
