Pink Impersonates National Symbol Of Proto-Feminist Power In New Song About Being A Drunk Slut

Monday, November 1st, 2010

So, here’s the bad news: Pink, Philly’s answer to so many pop star questions that were never worth asking in the first place and ne plus ultra of Curiously Defeminized Women From The Northeast, is still making records. Insult to injury: In the video for her new single, “Raise Your Glass,” our scratchy-throated podunk diva [...]

That’s How I’d Look If I Got Caught Leaving My Kids In My Car At Parx, Too

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Everybody, this is Tan Duy Truong. Tan’s a complete fucking disgrace, and just one in a long line of people who go to Parx who could really use some 12-step action, STAT.

Monday, November 1st, 2010

We recently heard from our old pals in Favourite Sons — the band of Philly expats fronted by Ken Griffin — and it was all good news: For one, they haven’t broken up. For two, they’ve just finished a new record, The Great Deal Of Love, a track from which is leaked in the video [...]

There’s lots of grousing by neighbors in Northern Liberties, where Jackson has made a particular habit of smashing car windows and stealing GPS systems, who [...]

City Commences Valiant But Doomed Effort To Make Your Court Date A Little Less Skid Row-ish

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Real talk: Have you ever had to appear in Community Court? We have, and it was not pleasant. You show up at Broad & Arch bright and early, wait in line all day, have several “oh, the humanity!” type moments while waiting for your name to be called, repeat, and then, oh right, you finally [...]

Onorato Drops In At Henri David Ball Without The Aid Of Handy Sign

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Riddle us this: Since we all know that Dan Onorato is going to lose tomorrow (or will he?), is it pathetic or awesome that he went trolling for the gay vote at the Henri David Ball last night? You know what: We can answer that — it’s awesome. Because while Onorato is going around reaching [...]
