Like you, we are aware of the 2008-2009 ‘Eco-Sexy’ Eagles Cheerleader Calendar making headlines (hello, August!), accompanied by this month’s Maxim spread featuring cheerleader Janelle. It’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words, but none are as great as the ones uttered by Janelle herself: “I love it when people are looking at [...]

WHAT: The Seinfeld Campus Tour is a pioneering 26-city, 10,000 mile cross-country tour designed to integrate the hit sitcom directly into the digital, on-the-move, multi-tasking lifestyle of college students and members of the 70 million plus millennial demographic. The 60-foot long “Seinfeld” branded, bio-diesel fueled bus features a mini-museum of original “Seinfeld” props and costumes, [...]

>>> Pretty much the only presidential election coverage we’re looking forward to over the next few months will come courtesy of Mr. Lif (pictured), the indie hip-hop artist Philly shares with Boston. In one of the most dedicated political moves we’ve ever seen in the hip-hop world, Lif will write and release 1-2 songs every [...]

Sure, it’s late, AGAIN (who knew that there really was a “slow boat” from Korea?), but pardon me for a moment if I geek out in iPhonesque anticipation of one fall day in the not-too-distant future where I can listen to The Clientele on my way to the Ardmore Farmers’ Market in just the height [...]

Dear Philadelphia, We are The Capitol Years, and we have been playing in this grand old city for some years now. Sure, we’ve played music for folks in the UK, Spain, Israel, and across the country, but our closest friends, fans, critics, and supporters have always been here, in Philadelphia. We’ve always returned home to [...]

Meg & Rob get a little outdoors-time in before their big double bill with Rare Bird Show at The Adrienne from August 29th thru September 13.

> Inky: You Put Your Weed In There

From our Twitter last night (btw, our Facebook thing is up now, too). A reader elaborates on the scene: Last night at the show, there was a drunk or cracky or insane (or all three) woman in a wheelchair who somehow managed to crawl onstage with the band and molest the members, grab the microphones, [...]

Other revelations contained in “So What,” the first single from Doylestown-born media mess Pink‘s forthcoming Funhouse album: That both her and said ex are prone to physical violence, that someone gave her table to “Jessica Simps,” and according to the chorus, “So what/I am a rock star/I got my rock moves/and I don’t need you.” [...]

SPECIAL REPORT FROM CAITLIN WELGE: It’s a Monday night, I have nothing to do and need to occupy my time before going to 9th and Washington for pretzels. Imagine my luck when I realize MTV is doing auditions for A Shot At Love 3 in my city of Philadelphia!! SO even though I’m not a [...]

Because within 90 minutes of one another yesterday, we received reports that: A) Alycia Lane came “out of hiding” (ooh! she’s like Howard Hughes!) and supped at Parc earlier this week. And, B) that newly-single Monica Malpass (pictured, don’t everybody jump at once now) had also been spotted at Parc twice in the last week. [...]

Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) — Comcast Corp. plans to slow Internet service to its heaviest users during periods of congestion, after regulators ordered the company to devise a new method for managing its Web traffic. Fios, if you cannot take advantage of this, I’m never speaking with you again.

>>> Well, we can lay down our weary tune about how much Joe Biden should really be the president and if he’s not the president then he should really be veep of smarm because the dude just put on his pleated khaki shorts (groan, c’mon, man, you’re VEEP of SMARM, for chrissakes!), went out into [...]

But ya gotta get in on ‘em straight away, as the screening is TOMORROW NIGHT. (Click on link for details.) Also, hit us up tomorrow for Part II of our interview with the one and only Steve Coogan.

Hey, the schedule for the Megawords storefront is up! For those of you who’ve never picked up an issue, Megawords is an experimental paper heavy on graphics and visual narrative put out by Anthony Smyrski and Dan Murphy, which we’d like to see a little more frequently. But they also have nifty media projects up [...]

Still, though, we can’t say we’re not stoked.

Sheezus, what a sucky time in Philly to be a tree. While most of us are still recovering from the South Street Tree Holocaust (is anybody else totally freaked out by The Day After vibes that now charge the street with fucked energy?), there’s a new tree threat: HACKERS! No, not that kind: It’s worse! [...]

Media Bureau. CPCN. Phillymusic.com. Dummytown. Brainsoap. CDNow. Maybe these words and phrases mean something to you. Or perhaps, ten years ago (or more), you were in Philadelphia, embarking on your own journey through this bold and new thing called The Internet. Got a story to tell? A long-forgotten favorite site? Or perhaps your own failed [...]
