In case you missed our earlier post, this Sunday February 8 at 8PM at Kung Fu Necktie, Philebrity is proud to present The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart with Brown Recluse Sings and The Depreciation Guild. We’re excited not just about the Pains — an NYC band very much in the Primitives/Jesus & Mary [...]

For the uninitiated, Nickelodeon’s The Adventures Of Pete & Pete was one of the best television shows of the 1990s. The clip above compiles many of the show’s cameos by stars of the underground, including Patty Hearst, David Johansen (New York Dolls), Ann Magnuson, Martin Donovan, Suzzy Roche (The Roches), Sarah Shannon (Velocity Girl), Chris [...]

You know, when this blog first started, we made fun of that lamprey on the world of modern fiction Jennifer Weiner because we thought her bougie little trifles were for Philistine cat-loving husbandeaters whom we’d never touch with a ten foot pole, socially, intellectually or, indeed, sexually. But as time has gone on, The World [...]

But don’t worry, people who hate fun: We’ll be doing some real posts today as well. PLUS GIVEAWAYS ZOMG!

Because, like, someone just sent us this photo (via MissBehave) and after we go frolic in the the snow with this guy, we’ll have to rack up the day’s posts. And frankly, we’re in too good a mood to tell you about things that are actually happening. But we will if that’s what you want. [...]

Says reader JL: “Not sure what’s more amazing, that someone had a snowman built by 7:30AM or that the dogs had gotten to it already.” Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

>>> The Woodsist label just might be the most exciting, home-grown, scuzzy-but-tuneful thing happening in indie-rock right now, mutilated corpse that the genre is. Here, you’ll find a host of crappily-recorded, go-for-broke bands and artists that are decidedly post-record industry. Which is why it’s gonna be amazing (and hopefully, really uplifting and inspiring) to watch [...]

Like all other Man Man related facial hair products, this Man Man moustache football should be used for entertainment purposes only. >>> Did our Diplo/MGMT post unwittingly foretell the downfall of Philly’s best-known remixer? A super-limp 5.2 on the ‘Fork could be entered as Exhibit B, we suppose, but then again, talking with a judge [...]

Bonus question: Do you like… stuff? Gotta love these Pew Surveys where the gang gets together and asks people questions like, “OK, Random American Fucking Imbecile, in a world free of consequence, which of these 30 cities would you like to live in?” That said, we still beat out Chicago (they hate sex and have [...]

Lovin’ on the Wild Side – Adults Only 10:00 – 1:00 Feb 14 & 15 Ever wonder just which animal has a 30 inch penis? Or if bats really can do it upside down? Maybe you were curious about what it takes for elephants to mate, or which animal thinks toe nibbling is great foreplay? [...]

You could have knocked us over with a feather (boa) last night when transgendered chanteuse Antony launched into a monologue mid-set last night at the Keswick Theater, praising the merits of Fishtown. It was downright bizarre, and we were already thrown off, having finally found what has eluded us for years — all the gay [...]

We don’t run nearly enough Al Alberts clips on this website.

“Taught me everything I know about burying dead hookers!” No? Hmm. How about… “can work a muni-bond like a fucked-up pinball machine?” No? Um, “jet-skis like Mr. Magoo being chased by the cops?” No? Shit, really? Wait this IS a roast I’m attending in his honor, right? Can you hear something that Rendell is trying [...]

It happened on my lunch hour today. Danny Bonaduce standing on the corner of Sansom and 13th, near the Capo Giro. I grew up in NYC where celeb sightings don’t even merit a text message to your friend, but here, I felt like I had to tell someone. Cheers. We know exactly how you feel. [...]

More than once, we’ve wondered aloud here how in the hell South Street is ever going to come back from the vacant-store/cell phone emporium nightmare it is now. It’s been painful to watch as what was once truly, honestly The Hippest Street In Town morph from that status down to being a place where even [...]

Click to play No, for real. Temple student Noah Grant-Levine, aided by a few classmates, produced this short documentary for a Linguistic Anthropology class, in which so many deez, dems and dozes are finally explained. You know, to the extent that they can be.
