After the jump, Dan Murphy‘s shots from last night’s Jenny Lewis gig at The Trocadero, plus a tune from Ms. Lewis.

It’s true: Phoodie.info dude Collin Flatt ran into Sweet Dee and Mac on the street yesterday (we’re sure they have real names, but whatever) and he got it straight from the source: The It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia cast and crew are in Philly, and shooting is slated to have begun this morning. Where? We [...]

Do you love Maya Rudolph like we do? What about Jim from The Office (a.k.a. John Krasinski)? They’re both in a new, so-far-well-received flick called Away We Go. The gist: Thirty-something couple Burt and Verona are six months pregnant when they find out that Burt’s parents, played by Jeff Daniels and Catherine O’Hara, have decided [...]

The Wein‘s new book, Best Friends Forever, won’t be out until July 14th, but you can probably write it in your brain in about ten minutes right now: When Addie Downs opens her front door and discovers her long-lost childhood best friend standing there, with terror on her face and blood on her coat, she [...]

Our buddy Dryw Scully is back at 700 tonight with his bi-weekly Death’s Headquarters DJ set. He’s made another mixtape, and hey, it’s Tuesday, let’s share it, if only just to witness how to get from Endless Boogie to D’Angelo in just three steps. Track listing after the jump.

· Video: Philly Gal Katie Cavuto Of The Next Food Network Star · P.Y.T.: Can We Get Some Fries With That Shake? · Dept. Of Tall Orders: Octo’s Opening Weekend Grocery List · The Oyster House Six Shooter All this and more — plus the Phoodie Restaurant Guide and Phoodie Calendar on Phoodie.info, the new [...]

We may have given up on putting down West Philly, but judging by the events of this morning, ancient Norse god Thor has now taken up the cause. It is believed that Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, delivered a lightning strike to the Cornerstone Apartments at 48th and Pine this morning, sending bricks flying and causing damage to [...]

Hey! That picture’s of The Dude when he came to our thing last year at National Mechanics! Oh, and also, yeah, this new Philly marketing campaign is turning out to be hella easy to lampoon.

Oh snap, we almost forgot to tell you: Philly-based porn starlet/one-time Philebrity Mummy Stripper Stoya is reportedly now dating Marilyn Manson. And how doth Marilyn seal his vampiric-love-pact with Miss Stoy? By shaving a swastika into her pubes, of course. Ah, love!

Before there was Arthur Kade, there was John Bolaris. And before there was John Bolaris, there was, oh, I dunno, Teddy Pendergrass. But wait, roll that back up a little bit. Somewhere in there — after the city of Philadelphia had exited its golden age of bona fide celebrity poonhounds and at some point before [...]

THANK YOU! It was a truly great time. If anyone took any pictures, we’d love to see ‘em. And if, perchance, you went home alone on Saturday night, perhaps all is not lost. See you next Spring!

Philebrity, I am writing to inform you that I am ending our relationship. I am aware of your ignorance to my existence, which is both intentional and presumably acceptable on your end; however I find it appropriate now to publicly express my regret that our partnership cannot continue. This is not a stunt, nor is [...]

Far be it from us to sit around and talk about the weather, but really: Did you get a load of that loud-as-hell, balls-to-the-wall, heavy metal thunder this morning? It was, for us, the best thunder in a very long time. It blew out electricity all over the place, it screwed up SEPTA and some [...]

>>> No, silly, that’s not Woody Guthrie — it’s Birmingham, AL’s AA Bondy, former singer in 90s alt-rock never-weres Verbena, who just made a beguiling, homey solo outing for the Fat Possum label. Bondy settles into his national tour for American Hearts tonight at Kung Fu Necktie with Holly Miranda. Some real good Monday night [...]

>>> That would be the Photon Band‘s “Back Down To Earth” providing the soundtrack to Free People‘s Summer ’09 “look” video, and one thousand times yes to the vibe on this. If you want more where that came from, check out the Photon Band’s next gig on July 24th with Brother JT at Johnny Brenda’s, [...]

Eternal Philebricrush/Inky architecture critic Inga Saffron kinda goes off today on her blog regarding one of the most ridonkulous development brainfarts to ever take up residence on Delaware Ave.: The proposed World Trade Center (pictured), which has been in various stages of development for 17 years and just needs to go away already. Really. The [...]

Big, big ups go out to the Philadelphia Museum of Art today: PMA picked up the the Venice Bienalle’s “Golden Lion” award — one of the highest prizes in the art world — for its hand in bringing artist Bruce Nauman‘s Topological Gardens into being and to the U.S. pavilion at Venice. This isn’t just [...]

Today, Mayor Nutter released the following statement in response to the ruling by Judge Albert W. Sheppard of the Court of Common Pleas which orders the Eagles to pay the City of Philadelphia $8 million, resolving one phase of this long-standing litigation. The court also indicated it would determine the second phase of the case, [...]

Via PlanPhilly’s coverage of Saturday’s Casino-Free Philadelphia protest at Harrah’s in Chester.

Local Twitter user mgkadnauseam would seem to be trapped in a neo-Kafka-esque hell that, frankly, we would have thought that only we could have dreamt up: His/her tweetstream is nothing but a running commentary on WMGK, 102.9FM, a radio station we both love and hate and yet is completely embedded into our collective urban DNA.
