For kids and grownups alike, Halloweens from year to year are often marked by which character of the day captures the public imagination and begins to reproduce, virus-like, as a Halloween costume. Last year, for instance, it was all about Green Man. A few years before that, it was Richie Tenenbaum. (And if you’re young [...]

Philly’s premiere cutout poster artist, Joe Boruchow, just issued this poster in honor of summer’s cruelest month. He says: I know it’s hard to be nice in this the hottest month of the year, but I think you will find that a little courtesy goes a long way in avoiding all kinds of trouble this [...]

It is with great sadness that we tell you that Charlie, Philebrity’s Dog of Record/In-Office Companion/Best Friend To Our Esteemed Editor passed away yesterday around 5:30PM.

The much-hyped show lived up to [...]

Unfortunately for My Bloody Valentine, they had to follow Gogol Bordello. And they played a comparatively lackluster set, which was quite ill received.

I can’t say enough about indie rock/folk revivalists Fleet Foxes. Every single one of these dudes has an epic voice, with an epic beard to match. Their harmonies conjuring up aural memories of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. If that wasn’t enough, these guys got jokes too. Their drummer is a riot, who in one [...]
