Here’s the good news about Wawa sponsoring the annual Welcome America! Festival this year: There will be a mile-long hoagie! (No shit, for real.) Here’s the funny news: We’re pretty sure The Goo Goo Dolls, whose bittersweet college-rock still stands among the most widely-loved and relevant music of the 1990s, are the headliner at Welcome [...]

Popular “at least we’re not in _______” example Baltimore, MD was awarded a $1,000 Popular Genius Grant on Saturday here in one of the opening rounds of Philly’s $10,000 Gigabit Genius Grant competition, prompting the Baltimore Sun to, for some reason, state that the award, in all caps, was won IN PHILADELPHIA. Which we feel [...]

>>> Cinco de Mayo: Offensive, or just Taser-worthy? Decide tonight, as CDM parties abound at Distrito, the P.O.P.E., The Khyber, North Bowl, outside at 34th and Walnut and just about anywhere else where white people and Tequila get together. To our Mexican friends: We’re sorry. This is why we liked I’m Gonna Explode and Y [...]

Raise your hand if you are still traumatized by the winter, and even as one movement of the spring flows into the next, you still feel like a battered puppy waiting for the treat to eat you. That’s because we all learned some things during the winter about darkness and being [...]

Lil’ Conrad, you crack us up, kid.

Oh no, wait, it’s Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Apparently, if you yell “I WILL DESTROY YOU WITH MY ANGER” at him, you will get free tickets to the show on Sunday at the Troc, but really, we just wish he was yelling that at the Penn Kids. Seeing something around town of [...]

Somebody stuck a door or something in the Fishcam. Previously: Attn. Fairmount Water Works: I’ve Been Watching The Fish Cam For Two Days Now And I Haven’t Seen A Single Goddamned Fish

We have reason to believe that the latest doucheball to storm the Phillies field (last night, nearly ruined it all Mr. Heidi) is this guy, portly rapper Thorobred. We need to dig a little more, but in the meantime, throw your hands if they be hatin’ on you! For no reason they be hatin’ on [...]

Tasers! by Emily and Micah McGraw Chorus: Tasers! What’s! The! Problem!

1. His TV ad is all about all the other advertising he’s bought. 2. While it definitely seems like Joe enjoys making customers happy, something also gives us the feeling that Joe does not take a lot of shit. 3. Black eyebrow/grey hair combo somehow makes it feel like we would feel safe and nuzzly [...]

All you jackanapeses are freaking out on one another in the comments to this post, so let’s just cut the shit and ask the REAL question here, baby!

Ooh, she really does haaaaaaaaaate him! From beyond the public service grave, even! Speaking at a Senate subcommittee hearing on the city’s justice system yesterday, former Philly D.A. Lynne Abraham blasted Seth Williams’ new changes in how marijuana offenders are processed, saying that “a summary court will give a pass to the same criminals who [...]

Last fall, we happened to catch J.C. Brooks & The Uptown Sound at Ortlieb’s (R.I.P.) and it was nothing short of a revelation. Here, from the fellow soul city of Chicago, was a group molded in the classic soul style that could rip out oldies just as easily as contemporary tracks (download their blistering cover [...]

In the entire of history of Noontime Nuggetz, we’d somehow never featured the pride of South Philly/Upper Darby/Villanove, Jim Croce, until today. For this we apologize.

Ask anyone who lives down there, and they’ll tell ya: This intersection — where 12th and Morris streets meet Passyunk Avenue — is kind of a mess. And for as many great changes have been brought to the East Passyunk neighborhood over the past few years, public space (that’s not parking lots or baseball diamonds) [...]
