He can’t stop, won’t stop. It’s the rhythm of the boogity-beat. Captured at last night’s Mitchell & Ness flagship store opening by HughE.

Damn! Teaser Two from FantasticRelationship Filmmaking on Vimeo. Pardon us as we get with the nepotism for a second: Kristian Almgren and Aaron Fisher-Cohen, two of our favorite Philebrity alumnae ever, are currently working on a project entitled DAMN! A Feature Length Documentary about Jimmy McMillan, and they’re raising money for it on Kickstarter. McMillan, [...]

Had enough of the whole Four Loko story yet? Hell, even Michael Smerconish got into the act yesterday when he sat in for Chris Matthews on MSNBC, running the same dumb “blackout-in-a-can” echo chamber piece everybody else has. (Confidential to Smerc: The beard looks good, but don’t get used to that seat, buddy. Your very [...]

Well, it’s something: The Eagles have announced plans to begin converting the Linc to green energy next year, using a combination of wind, solar and biodeisel-generated electricity. The Iggles have contracted Florida company Solar Blue (what, the solar dudes down at the Navy Yard aren’t good enough for ya, Lurie?) to install the conversion. It’s [...]

So here’s a question: Did Michael Bolden sue the wrong company when he sought a class action last week against McFadden’s? That’s basically what attorneys for McFadden’s are saying. In a defense filed in federal court on Tuesday, attorneys for McFadden’s said that the bar is not owned, controlled or managed by East Coast Saloons, [...]

The Looks of It – “Talking in Your Sleep” from Brian Melton on Vimeo. The Looks Of It are a new Philly band that seem to specialize in a kind of sleepy, lovey Americana. (Think Freakwater, or an American Mojave 3.) They just released the above clip, and all we can think is, “Wow. Gotta [...]

Via the Washington Square West Civic Association mailing list: Street Closings A movie, entitled “SAFE,” will be filming scenes in the neighborhood this week (Tuesday through Saturday). There will be several NO PARKING zones, as well as outright closings due to car stunts, pyrotechnics and SIMULATED GUNFIRE. No Parking: West Side of 15th Street, b/w [...]

We know you have to don the jersey and do the dumb E-A-G-L-E-S thing on the regular or people will think you’re an egghead elitist (and, remind us, that’s bad because…?), BUT MUST YOU REALLY SUCK UP TO MICHAEL VICK ON TWITTER? And what is this “off the field” shit? You really sure you wanna [...]

Oh, hey, what’s up, Brian Tierney? Few public relations agencies can claim a point of view shaped by the experiences of a CEO. Having led both media and marketing organizations, Brian Tierney is uniquely qualified to advise senior decision makers and build an agency to help clients achieve their communications objectives. Whether it’s navigating the [...]

Just over the transom from Bloomberg: Moody’s Investors Service said it downgraded to A2 from A1 the rating on Philadelphia’s $3.8 billion in general obligation bonds and unconditional general fund debt obligations. While we did perceive upon reading that this was bad news, we didn’t quite understand exactly how. Our finance guru set us straight: [...]

Wherein Phileb commenter Kilroy does his old Shecky-Green-Gregg-Foreman bit on the McFadden’s Facebook wall, where nothing is permitted, and nothing is revealed. The all-powerful Green Beer Oz has removed Kilroy’s comment already, along with anything mentioning the lawsuit, or dress code, or anything outside, really, of its familiar proles-on-parade universe. But we encourage you all [...]

Well, sort of: Hazelle Goodman, who played Cookie Williams in Deconstructing Harry, will be performing this Friday and Saturday at the Painted Bride. While her schedule of services differs somewhat from Cookie’s (as noted above by Woody Allen), we have every confidence that you’ll be just as entertained.

>>> Philebrity Salon at the 700, back with the original-recipe style version, with classic jazz, plus tropicalia/afro-beat/folk-jazz and cocktails by our sturdy barkeep, Anders. Starts at 10PM tonight because we’re going to see the Harry Potter. Megagigabyte, son! >>> Also of note: The always-alluring Azure Ray bring their witchay-womanly vibes to the Johnny Brenda’s, and [...]

>>> Pardon us, but T-Pain for Toshiba might be the best pitchman since William Shatner for Priceline. And we quote: “Everything we do, it ain’t hardcore unless it’s hexacore! Megagigabyte, son! Everything in the computer needs my face on it is what I’m saying.” Instant Philebrity mantra status. It’s the new “the world is a [...]

Remember our rant back in March about how things like the Mr. Gay Pageant (think Miss America, with Speedos) only reinforce the stereotype that all the gays are Aberzombies with JonBenet ambitions in a tight Armani Exchange wrapper? Well, someone in the very community in Mr. Gay’s taget demo has finally said the same. Cue [...]

From this crazy-making post on The Clog about The Inky under-reporting crime at SugarHouse: Click to enlarge. “Fraudulent conversation,” indeed.

The more Northern Liberties ward leader Robert Capella‘s campaign to get Northern Liberties some much-needed community services drags on, the more it feels like some weird Tea Party shit whose sole function is to get somebody paid and annoy the living hell out of the rest of us. Capella’s SaferNorthernLibertes.com project — which wants to [...]

Yesterday’s post/comments thread about Philly music of the 1990s (and other decades) brought up a name we hadn’t though about in a while: The husky-throated rock ‘n’ roll singer P.W. Long, who lived here for a spell in the mid-1990s after fronting Mule and up on through the time he released the great LP We [...]
