You know what we like about Bill Murray? Dude does whatever he wants. Let’s say you’re at a party in Sweden, and Bill doesn’t like what’s going down. Drunk or not, Bill Murray just says “Fuck it” and gets in his golf cart and speeds away, into the night, like it don’t mean a thing. [...]

In case nobody told you, this summer, Philly is pretty much in love with free, outdoor concerts featuring local bands, beverages and everywhere, dogs and babies! And every couple of days, we’re getting word of new ones cropping up, whether it’s a whole series in Penn Treaty Park or one-day-only events like our stage in [...]

Three springs ago or so, pre-World Fucking Champions, all of team Philebs went to spring training. As luck would have it, on the way to Clearwater, we scored a media contact with the Phils. After telling him we’d love an interview with ANYONE on the team, we were told that the Phils/MLB only deals with [...]

By now, you’re probably aware of the horrific rape and abduction of an 11-year-old girl in Kensington that was discovered earlier in the week, as well as the vigilante attack that nabbed Jose Carrasquillo, now a person of interest in the case, pending DNA test results. Now, whether he turns out to be guilty or [...]

Phileb reader/punk rock legend Scott Beibin is currently on tour in Hamburg, Germany with the Lost Film Festival, and he’s come across this, and many other pieces of Mumia graffiti and ephemera. Apparently, Mumia is still cool in Germany, just like KMFDM and rainbow suspenders. The more you know! Seeing something around town of note? [...]

We’re furiously updating our listings for this, the last First Friday before summer sweeps in and makes all First Fridays kinda lame until September/October, but we have a show we’re dying to tell you about — because it’s ours. For this First Friday, Philebrity has teamed up with our good friend and photographer Dan Murphy [...]

Now, look: We know you are all having tons of fun with our Arthur Kade Photo Caption Contest — as well you should — but we must interrupt for a moment and let you know: Homophobic taunts will automatically get you disqualified from the grand prize, er, package. Even though we’ve all surely wondered whether [...]

You know, usually, we’d do you the courtesy of telling you which part of this to scroll to, so you could go directly to that point in the video and have your head explode accordingly. Not this time. Above, one minute and fifty-one seconds of all-killer, no-filler Santorum spew. You know, it’s times like these [...]

So, uh, thanks for that, Twitter.

After playing a kick-arse show at the newly-opened Kung Fu Necktie last October, Gothenburg, Sweden’s Love Is All return to the ‘Tie tonight for another round of pure poppy, punky goodness in support of their upcoming Last Choice 12” on the super-groovy What’s Your Rupture? label. Evidently, somewhere in the band’s manifesto is a mandate [...]

The Super Man is Philly native Michael Friedman‘s new web comedy series about an apartment super in Los Angeles, and it’s making waves in that whole webisode-potentially-to-TV kind of way. Take a look. There’s lots to like here.

Today, June 3rd, at 12:00 PM (noon) a group of Temple University staff and faculty members plan to protest outside the residence of Anne Weaver Hart, Temple Unversity’s president.

Anti-gay evangelist Michael Marcavage (pictured) is back in the news again, this time for (once again) suing the Philadelphia Police Department for restraining him when he acted like a self-hating, cock-starved monster at a gay pride event here in Philly. Actually, no, sorry the suit is based on him being restrained at not one gay [...]

American Loft (pictured), that towering Northern Liberties testament to the mid-oughts real estate bubble and magical shit factory that was the development firm CREI, finally went to Sheriff’s Sale, just like we told you it would. And the winning bidder is… a company called American Street Lofts, who picked up the $15M building for a [...]

It could be God’s own belated reaction to Brasserie Perrier closing, maybe it’s the other gods, The Money Gods, howling in the wilderness, “How in the world will This Economy sustain Walnut Street?,” but one thing is for sure: Parts of the 1600 block of Walnut Street have crumbled, and it’s freaky and weird. Be [...]

Arthur Kade done went an posted a whole reel of photos of, uh, tasteful noodz. And since it’s probably a good hour or two until you’ll be called upon to have to eat something, we want you to stare at this and think of something clever to say, in caption form, in the comments. The [...]

We mentioned yesterday the Bob Brady “Let’s All Pretend We Don’t Hate Each Other” luncheon for the failed District Attorney candidates. Well, guess who didn’t show? The one and only, Dan McCaffery (pictured), who famously got pwned by a panel of local judges after he’d thought he got that pesky Seth Williams booted off the [...]

You little buggers can’t keep it in your pants, can you? One after the other, stories are beginning to crop up whose headlines make it sound like Philly.com is gonna go paid-content any second now, but upon further inspection, reveal that the powers that be are merely thinking about it. Well, no shit, Sherlock. Last [...]
