BLEEEEAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Do you know what that sound is! I’ll give you a choice! It’s either the firing-up sounds of a lazer machine that removes liver spots! OR IT IS THE DIAL UP CONNECTION OF BYKO’S MODEM LOGGING IN TO FACEBOOK! BLEEEEAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Either way! You’re gonna wanna have that looked at by a doctor! Listen, you [...]

We know, we know: You were making sweet love to your DVR in anticipation of the Michael Vick/Oprah Winfrey interview that was supposed to happen later this month. But alas, it is not to be. Vick has pulled out due to “personal reasons,” which may or may not be that folks in the Vick camp [...]

Won’t be long until we’re ducking for sweet cover in one of these babies. Brought to you by the very excellent blog of art director Nick Zegel, ZeegIsBreathing.

Click on image to view in big gorgeous black and white/download as desktop. Like we were saying a few days ago, it’s utterly criminal that our parents and grandparents allowed a Philly this bustling to slip away. Greatest Generation, my ass. Previously: The Way We Were: 16th & Market, May 1955

To whoever’s doing this: C’mon, son. Game on! You’re working with FINE COMEDY GOLD HERE. [h/t PhillyClout]

On today’s big show: 45 SAFARI!

See this right here? It’s like an explosion of old school Philly jazz-freakout vibe.

Because why wait around on us to do the like one post about puppies we do a year when you can GET ON YOUR IPHONE AND MAKE MAGAZINE COVERS WITH YOUR OWN PUPPY ON THEM! CoverPuppy is an application that allows your adorable dog to get the spotlight they deserve. Take a picture of your [...]

Seriously, that’s what this thing called WeedMaps that they have out in California is. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

While you may not have been looking, Mia Farrow has been toiling for social justice in Africa, and it’s a quest that will bring her here to Philly twice in the coming months. Farrow, who’s recently been a go-to quote source for all things Sudanese and secession, has been chosen for this year’s Marian Anderson [...]

As the Eyes of the Seahorse is the new album by Philly band The Mural And The Mint, but as the video above alludes, it’s also much more. For the album’s release, the band — whose music takes indie-pop instrumentation and fuses it with a kind of high drama not often seen in the genre [...]

Somehow, this guy — and yes, Goth Philebrity readers, that would be Patrick Rodgers of Dancing Ferret Concerts — turned his insurance dispute with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage over his (super-baller, btw) home in Wynnefield Heights into a court case that landed him both a settlement and, for the moment, a chance to buy his [...]

How’s this for job security? Controversial Philadelphia schools superintendent Arlene Ackerman (pictured, disturbingly, at right) is up for what amounts to basically a wildly lucrative three-year contract renewal. Even if you believe that Ackerman has been doing a great job (and, if you pay attention to the news, you probably don’t), the structure of Ackerman’s [...]

It’s a little confusing, but Feds may have penetrated a corruption ring that somehow managed to involve Philly cops, L&I, a bunch tow truck companies, the beer distributor Chappy’s Beer, Butts & Bets, and a couple of titty bars. If what the Feds are smelling is what’s actually cooking, Philebrity has reason to believe that [...]

Spankin’ new lifted-from-French-cinema-classics clip from Bill “South Philly Billy” Ricchini and co.! Previously: Talk The Talk: Bill Ricchini/Summer Fiction

And it’s some white guy we’ve never seen before. Weird!

BEHOLD, THE REAL PROMISE OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN! Half of the games sold out by tonight, the rest soon after. Our advice: Make friends with a lawyer, or people in the suburbs. They’ve been hitting refresh on phillies.com since before Christmas.

View Larger Map As you may have heard, bookselling giant Borders has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in one of those groanworthy writing-on-the-wall/didn’t-have-to-be-this-way fates that is presently dogging every major media company in the world. Borders wasn’t a media company, of course — they just sold media, be it printed or audio or video. [...]

Holy shit: Gerald Ung found not guilty! For discussion: Is this apparent victory for Ung simultaneously a setback for the civil rights of douchebags in that it confirms that society views douche-on-douch crime largely as a douche problem and therefore not subject to the same protections as the rest of us? Or was it just [...]

No it’s not, asshole. You’re just a spoon-fed rube. As evidenced by the fact that you’re talking to DOG THE FUCKING BOUNTY HUNTER on Twitter. Now, look: We’re no great fans of Arcade Fire (in fact, we kind of loathe them) and Esperanza Spalding might be better on paper than in reality (go away from [...]
