>>>Ah, so THIS is why Bob Mould refused to participate in last year’s Hüsker Dü biog, penned by music scribe Andrew Earles: He’s touring the story of his life. The Dü’s guitarist/vocalist stops by World Cafe Live for See A Little Light: An Evening of Reading and Music, wherein he splices readings from his new [...]

The Philadelphia Exposure Project, a new blog that popped up online today, says this of its mission: Politicians are ruining our lives and stealing our money. The news media does little to stop them, and in many cases is complicit. This is an experiment in something new. Phillyxp.com is meant as a outlet for voices [...]

Last February, when the super-incentive Film Tax Credit was officially frozen, the future of insourcing Hollywood movie production into Philly looked grim. But in the words of Mother Superior from The Sound of Music, “When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.” Now, that might be sticking an extra feather in the [...]

So this is a rendering of that crazy CGI wave the we were telling you about in our earlier post about this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show. In describing the “overhead audio-visual wave,” PFS tells us to “look for surfers and sea turtles to ‘swim past’ as you step into Islands of Aloha!” Oh man, can [...]

A very loud ripple of inside-baseball went through Philly’s media community (such as it is) yesterday when a story about developer Bart Blatstein putting together a group called Philly Hometown Media appeared on the Daily News‘s Clout blog. The piece, stating that Blatstein’s group was looking into making a bid on the once-again-for-sale Inquirer, DN, [...]

Spotted at S. Phillip & Wharton: Kinda almost makes you think it’s not not spring, eh? Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

From the, er, Yahoo OMG blog: Move over, Apple, Suri, Bronx, and Blue Ivy — here comes Exton Elias. That’s the unusual moniker Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, have given their newborn son, who was born on Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, clocking in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces and 20 inches long.

This clip above, which was found on Bro Bible (it hurts just to type that) is a prime example of the kind of thing that can blow up on the internet (just wait, it’ll happen), but in reality is found nearly every day on SEPTA buses across our dear city. We believe there’s a tiny [...]

Just wondering if anyone out there has seen/has any information about the giant (what appears to be) pink shocker on the side of the abandoned building on the corner of Broad and Fairmount… I noticed someone also sprayed “You go girl!” next to it. Anyone have anything? Pictures? Info? Punch lines? We believe in you.
