Mayer Hawthorne: Lovable, and ruthless. As you may know, we’ve been stoked on Mayer Hawthorne from the Jump Street, and with the 2009 Stones Throw Tour featuring Peanut Butter Wolf, James Pants, Dam-Funk, and Mayer Hawthorne hitting North Bowl this Wednesday, we are now making high-pitched squeals usually reserved for fans of Twilight. And we [...]

PhillyClout is reporting that none other than likable wraith Sheryl Crow will be the headlining act at Welcome America, Philly’s annual gift to the metal-barricades and flat-cola industries.

Hats off to local screenwriter Mark Erlbaum, who basically just achieved an act so impossibly unlikely that it could reach urban myth status: It would appear that Mark is that one person, in the world, ever, who actually wrote a movie script in his local coffee shop — in this case, West Philly’s Green Line [...]

How do we know? Because never in recent history has there been a t-shirt — save for perhaps the “Just Try Burning This One, Asshole” tee of the early 1990s — that instantly announces to all within reading distance that Yes, the wearer of this t-shirt has the worldview of a CHILD.

Or maybe that was Whine [...]

I’m only doing this because I was promised French Fries. We have to say, we’re kinda diggin’ Bob Weir‘s More-Jerry-Than-Jerry new look. And as someone suggested in the comments on Weekend Picks, Weir indeed did appear onstage late night at the North Star Bar on Friday night, after The Dead‘s show at The Spectrum. Weir, [...]

Maybe it was just lust. Or maybe it was one of those things where the person you don’t know just seems so much more attractive than the person you eventually get to know. But between this crazymaking video above and her photo shoot modeling dumb “designer” silkscreen crap (soooo Hollertronix ’03, yawn), we’re now kinda [...]

FRIDAY: >>> Can we get like personal-personal for a moment? It’s been a real mother of a week here. We had the move — which is still kinda going on — we had all the regular demands of Philebs and Phoodie, and actually, one thing that we haven’t mentioned which has really been the most [...]

Philebrity’s art listings are all updated and ready for you to go. And if, perchance, you are doing the whole Frankford Ave./Fishtown First Friday Thing, do stop by our new HQ, the mighty 2424 Studios, where the UArts MFA kids are putting the final touches on their show as we speak.
