Sweatheart is back with a new EP, dropping on the 15th. In the meantime, they’re busy not forgetting at the army base.

Oh no, wait. Damn. We thought he was talking about how we should give them all as much ice cream as they want, speak to them slowly and loudly, and be mindful not to make them angry due to their uncanny physical strength. Previously: It Almost Wouldn’t Be Autumn If We Couldn’t Hear The Whining [...]

· One of our native Allentonian readers writes: Today, Mr. Obama is kicking off his “main street tour” in my hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania… or as I refer to it as: THE 610 STRUGGLE. His mission, to make sure stimulus money goes to the nation’s cities, where the strain of joblessness is most severe. The [...]

After we posted yesterday about Mr. Sunshiney’s Good Time RecycleBank Launch Party, another reader sent us this photo, which shows long-lost Philly Recycling mascot Curby Bucket was on the scene as well. We’re kind of obsessed with Curby, so if you see him in other places, please send us photos. And if anyone knows his [...]

The Comcast giveth, and the Comcast taketh away. Just a day after the cable giant’s NBCU deal was finalized comes the news that Daily Candy, another Comcast acquisition, is axing all but five of its markets, including Philadelphia. That puts Philly Daily Candy editor Meredith Lindemon out of a job, and thousands of subscribers without [...]

>>> For what? For making a Thursday night that’s probably better than the last three Saturday nights combined. Nice work, but now you’ve got your work cut out for you and it’s time to make choices: Do you start out at Philebrity’s Sailor Jerry Grog Party at National Mechanics from 5-8PM (we just called, they’re [...]

Mayor Nutter announced the launching of RecycleBank in North Philly this afternoon. It will be rolling out across the city throughout next year and will incentivize recycling by awarding participants with points that convert into cold hard cash savings at local and national businesses. The model being used in Philly differs slightly from the one [...]

Oh, hi, Pink. I see you’re, like, shouting or something again. How “edgy.” And it says here that you’ve been nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album for that Funhouse album, which is the one that’s all like “So what, I’m still a rockstar/But I’m still straight up annoying D-Town/and I don’t neeeeeeed youuuuu…” Oh, that’s [...]

Aw man, Mayor Nutter just issued a press release about the Comcast/NBCU merger: “This is great news for Philadelphia and Comcast, one of our leading hometown corporate citizens,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter. “On behalf of all Philadelphians let me congratulate the Comcast family on this very exciting development for the corporation and for the [...]

Perhaps the best few minutes of physical comedy by Philadelphians before Tim & Eric came around. Now, the Jingle Hop has begun. CONGRATS HALL AND OATES! (See post below.)

Are you sitting down? Hall & Oates have never won a Grammy award. I know. It’s unbelievable. But it’s true. And even though Daryl Hall may have never enjoyed music, nothing — AND I MEAN NOTHING — could ever diminish the joy this leonine crooner and his mustachioed partner have brought into the lives of [...]

We’ve hipped you to the tweets of Chris Krewson, the Inquirer’s executive editor of online news, before. Krewson keeps a pretty active Twitter stream, and if you follow him, you’ll find it either sad or ironic how little of the thinking aloud he does actually makes it into the end product — but then again, [...]

Since we’re sick of going on and on about the casino issue here in Philly, only to have to load-tards shrug and be like, “yeah but what about BIKE LANES?,” we’ll be quick with this: Foxwoods, the casino chain that was supposed to build in South Philly until it was supposed to be in The [...]

From our old buddy Michael McGettigan at Trophy Bikes: This video show three lawless, brain-dead, hell-bound, hipster, tree-hugging, menacing bicyclists blatantly and cruelly running the three stop signs where 19th meets Rittenhouse Square. It also shows umpteen motorists doing the exact same thing, only inside three tons of metal, glass and plastic. But hey, what [...]

Suffice it to say that Thanksgiving weekend in the store room at Philadelphia International Airport was probably about as stony as it was at your house. According to this report from the Dept. of Homeland Security, travelers returning from the legendary Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam were being five kinds of stupid, hiding weed in their [...]

We would be remiss if we did not tell you: Next Sunday and Monday, representatives from the Westboro Baptist Church — more commonly known as the “God Hates Fags” Church — will be back in the area, spreading their messages of holiday cheer and love for all of God’s children. And we strongly encourage anyone [...]

Here is what we can tell you about the first of Philebrity’s Sailor Jerry Grog Parties, held a coupla weeks back: By the time eight o’clock rolled around, most of us were drunk as a bunch of ancient sailors, hugging each other like gay librarians, and either asleep or in jail within the following 60 [...]

People of Philadelphia, we come to you hat in hand today, with apologies: We have not made nearly enough of a fuss over Espers III, the recently-released third album by our native sons and daughters Espers. As you may recall, we gave it a spin a few weeks back at Philebrity Salon, and it hasn’t [...]
