The party starts before the sun goes down. >>>The classic-rock tinged indie-jams of Zeus can be heard at the North Star Bar in an XPN [...]

The fine folks over at Little Baby’s Ice Cream have begun to churn out (terrible pun intended) a series of videos starring the incomparable Malcolm, an asexual, genderless, non-human (but human-esque) being that formed from a failed batch of Duck Sauce Vanilla ice cream. Unsatisfied with the amount of information provided about the fledgling star, [...]

For the next few years, the Phillies roster will consist of a handful of gazillionaire declining ex-MVP-candidates and a sea of bargain-bin utility players eating borscht next to the heater in the locker room. Oh, and failed top prospects who proved their inability to hit a major league breaking pitch. You know who I mean. [...]

It’s a shame Hunter Pence isn’t here anymore, he would’ve fit right in: Coming up next month, the Athletic Baseball Club of Philadelphia will host the Philadelphia Vintage Base Ball Exhibition & Fair at the Navy Yard. The 2-day fair features 10-teams playing baseball, 1864-style, with floppy hats, mustaches, and everything else that comes with [...]

At some point this summer, “Call Me Maybe” sped right by “Somebody That I Used To Know” as the most ubiquitous summer jam/earworm, and we can guess how the majority of you feel about this: As annoying as Gotye was, at this point, you’re starting to yearn for his subtle charms.

Attention all: This year’s Mad Decent Block Party has been sprung upon you last-minute and will be taking place this Saturday at, thankfully, Penn’s Landing.

Good old B-Coops was all over Delco a little while back filming The Silver Linings Playbook, directed by the legendarily level-headed David O. Russel. The first trailer for the film is above, and you can see such infamous Delco landmarks as that house, and those trees, and maybe Main Street Media? We can’t tell, but [...]

Comedy people, listen up: The first annual MaxFunCon East is coming to the Poconos in October. The comedy convention (that features performances, classes, activities, and tons of other convention stuff) will take place at the Inn at Pocono Manor (a comedy Mecca?) and feature performances/presentations by Michael Ian Black, Dick Cavett, Jonathan Ames, Kurt Andersen, [...]

You know, it’s always great when a local act gets a chance to shine on a major stage, and Sun Airway (who are really no stranger to major stages) are getting that opportunity. In September and October, they’ll be touring behind the to-be-released-in-October Soft Fall, in support of synth-pop/rock heavyweights M83. M83 plays in town [...]

Like all lovers of magnificently intelligent fey literary strongmen everywhere, Philebrity mourns the loss of Gore Vidal, who passed away earlier this week. Vidal’s wit stayed sharp as a tack, and he accomplished more in the three to five literary generations he lived through than an entire pack of writers living through ten could reasonably [...]

OK, OK, we’ll stop now (for now) with all of the BroLibs nonsense, but we did want to grab your attention and let you know that The Second Street Festival is this Sunday, August 5th, and the full music lineup has been announced. It goes like this: Man Man – The Great Unknown – Lushlife [...]

Yesterday, in what was possibly the most unfettered and glorious takedown of Mitt Romney we’ve yet seen at the hands of a legit politician, Harry Reid also paused to reflect what is quickly turning out to be the most expensive presidential campaign in history, and it’s ramifications.
