So tomorrow is Earth Day, doncha know, and as part of the festivities, Mayor Nutter will be rolling out ten new recycling trucks, all bearing fresh graphic wraps designed by Desiree’ Bender and students from Philly Mural Arts Program’s (MAP) after school Big Picture Program. And as you can see, they are pretty awesome, and [...]

Because all Twitter and no play makes Larry a very, very dull boy. And we’ve already seen what happens when Young Lawrence has too much time on his hands. So why not pen a piece or two for the Chestnut Hill Local? I mean, that’s our first go-to when sentenced to six months of home [...]

We so, so wish we could wrap it up like so: Get the Newspaper Guild and Brian Tierney and the rest of the ghouls in a room, and say, “Look, this is what’s up. The Inky and the Daily News are dead in the water. In the immediate future, there are only going to be [...]

Let’s see what’s what… – Fest is August 14, 15, 16, 2009 – Big headliners to be announced on June [...]

And, like, thank god there’s no Space Coke Day, man.

Phoodie.info Exclusive: OCTO To Finally Save Hellaware Avenue From Itself

The Sixers are pumping gas and causing a traffic jam at the Lukoil on Front and Spring Garden in NoLibs. No word on whether Donnie Darko is on the scene or not.

Oh hell yes.

All things must come to an end, and we just received word that Ian St. Laurent aka DJ Diabolic is rounding the bend on completing what might be his masterwork, the WISL series of mixtapes, which are pretty much some of the most inspired (and trippy) cut-up mixes we’ve heard in forever. As we mentioned [...]

This Photo is from “The Legendary Blue Horizon” boxing arena, where, in February, Penn Law and Wharton students are bussed in from campus (seriously) to watch their cohorts beat the shit out of one another and have such intricate introductions (this year included a man in shackles beaten by stripperish female cops, a midget dressed [...]

Imagine how awesome “Seeking Solutions With Suzanne” would look on this. This Saturday morning, we were awoken by a phone call from Bart Blatstein, that went something like this: “You gotta get down here! The TV’s been installed and the cable guy was just here! You have to see this!” Blatstein is not a man [...]

Oh, Forbes. You’ve never met a listicle you didn’t like. And it’s very classy how, if you ever click on these Forbes listicles, to get from one item on the list to another, Forbes lets the whole page reload. You know, instead of just publishing, like, a list. So pardon us if we just link [...]

Something tells us this whole day is going to feel like this. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

FRIDAY: >>> I feel like I should tell you this, so it’s not weird or anything: I’m not here. As you read this, I am on a patch of grass somewhere in the city, flying a big gay kite in a fresh pair of Garanimals and listening to the Marine Girls on a big yellow [...]

RECOMMENDED: Amarcord is, of course, Federico Fellini‘s 1973 coming-of-age tale, which finds itself in a one-week revival at Ritz At The Bourse. This is lurid-color, funhouse mirror Fellini we’re talking here, where bawdy comedy brushes up against dreamlike darkness for that acid-y vibe everybody talks about when they talk about weird, unsettling things in life [...]

We think we’ve had the kind of week around here that could merit a drum solo, no? Philly Joe Jones, take it away!

Why are they ripping all the trees out of the south end of Franklin Square Park? They took out about ten beautiful, healthy trees all along the outer edge of the sidewalk yesterday, and now they are working on raping the inside of the park as well. This isn’t even the part of the park [...]

1. Record Store Day — this Saturday, April 18 — is the one day a year set aside for the celebration of one of the greatest things ever created in America: The small, independent record store. Record stores, as you might have noticed, are an endangered species, but there’s life in the old dog yet: [...]

This is kinda strange: You know how there’s that movie of Steve Lopez‘s The Soloist coming out, with Jamie Foxx once again promising to be the single most annoying living actor in America? Well, to promote it, a group of local musicians featuring Mary Lattimore, Brooke Sietinsons, and Margaret Ayre of The Valerie Project are [...]

Won’t you join us next Tuesday for the birth of Philebrity Salon? In addition to being a sweet, mellow, low-key, twice-a-month hang, it really is what the flyer says it is: A place where people can meet up, gab about what they’re working on and, at midnight, enjoy twenty minutes of fine, fine public address [...]
