I must fess up about last week's Girlfriend Track. Pulp's "Pencil Skirt" wasn't my first choice. It's not really a song that, if my girlfriend said turn this up, I'd be turned on. It's more just a song I would expect my girlfriend to appreciate. My real selection was Snooky Pryor and Mel Brown's "Let Your Hair Down, Woman", but my computer was acting the fool and signifying all anti-Snooky on my ass...
One of the great pleasures of writing/editing/mavericking this site is hobnobbing with the fans. Although it should come as no surprise, it comes as a surprise to find that so many fine, delectable lady folk chow down on the fresh meat Philabuster and SkinnySlim cook up daily. Through these past two years, I've been able to meet a diverse group of female fans, including teachers, philosophers, jews, actresses, nuns, assassins, limeys, musicians, jews, and jews. Besides being so damn hot, said hotties like to boogie, as evidenced by the latest email I received...
Gun violence claimed another victim in Philadelphia over the weekend, when Making Time was tragically killed with a Colt 45. Okay, so maybe the substitution of sour malt liquor for the crisp PBRs and Sparks psychocandy usually available during open bar hours wasn't solely responsible for the disappointing evening, but it surely didn't help. Just as culpable were Voxtrot, a band who are about as well-suited to perform at an all-night rager as Bishop Allen or Matt Pond. The results spoke for themselves: a club that felt disarmingly empty (no line for the bathroom, what?), and a live set that [...]
Comin' atcha first thing every Monday morning, it's The Pony Track, a super-fantastic short distance dedication to BadmintonStamps Collective founding member and internationally renown symbol for musical excellence Aaron "Pony" Child. No fancy links, no clever write-ups, 'cause these awesome songs don't need no splainin'. So c'mon, ride the pony!
Plenty of people are stressing over the nine-foot python that's loose somewhere in the city. It seems snakey pissed off The Man after it gobbled up a couple kitten mcnuggets underneath a house in Bucks County. The reptile's predilection for feline feasts is a-ok by me. Philabuster, if you didn't know, is quite allergic to cats, and generally despises them, so the tale of this boa-at-large is naturally reading much more like that of a vigilante folk-hero than nightmarish menace...
There's the virgin and there's the whore. And for us redbloods out there, well, we love 'em both, especially when they're packaged together. Possibly nothing exemplifies this dual v/w hotness better than a women who holds her hair in a bun with a classroom pencil. Hair up, this pencil signifies an attractive simplicity, a nonchalant style that exudes modesty and intelligence. Hence the virgin. Yet, like any other Vogue devotee will tell you, a true fashion statement is so much more than it's superficial surface...
Watch it again. Seriously, this has gotta be one of the best music videos of this decade, no?
In the grand scheme of things you're asked to pay for, a band fan club membership ranks as slightly less contemptable than a public toilet, slightly more than the New Jersey turnpike. Unless you're my kid, there's simply no way I'm using gifts of money to prove my love for you. Or at least, not any more money on top of what I've already spent on CDs, concert tickets, scalped concert tickets, posters, t-shirts, scalped t-shirts, and assorted E-Bay obscurities. In his younger days, SkinnySlim forked over a few bucks to join the Sonic Youth fan cub, [...]
Aaron "Pony" Child writes in, "What ever happened to The Vines and The Hives? Hanging out with Dave Coulier?" Well Pony, after flipping off BadmintonStamps founding member SkinnySlim at a VMA Party in 2002, The Vines' lead singer Craig Nicholls was hit with a vicious verbal jab from BadmintonStamps founding member SkinnySlim. It's too vicious to repeat here, but let's just say it involved comparing his diminutive stature to the buttock size of his female companion. Dom Delouise snaps were thrown and the zings were all-around biting. For Nicholls, it was all downhill from there...

How do you tell a woman that she's running her mouth too much? Well, there's the direct approach. Take for instance The Strokes. They tell their muse flat out, "You talk way too muuuuccchhh!!!" Then we have their one-time touring partner The White Stripes. Jackie White prefers a more oblique, backhanded way of telling his woman that she may be a little loose in the lips...
No One Understands Him But His Mohel
Like my homeboy Ron Paul, I believe you gotta do what you want, and if other people/the government give you shit then just tell 'em to keep your name out their mouth. That's why I'm not passing judgement, but sexual fetishes, man that stuff creeps me out. I'm talking about anything foot, Asian, or old fingernail related. I am not talking about skinny white girls who like hip hop and Woody Allen. That does not a fetish make. Of all these perversions, the most bizarre and disturbing are infantile obsessions...
Dennis Kusinich is a liberal vegan Congressman running for President. Fred Thompson is a moderate conservative ex-Senator and typecast actor running for President. What do these two have in common (besides the fact that they're running for President)? Trophy wives. And as far as trophies go, you can't get much better than wife...
The Major Leagues are the latest Philly up-n-comers to step inside Dr. Dog's studio and throw down. The results, including slow roller "Moonlit Daydream," are all that and a bag of soft Wilco pretzels. They'll be giving away some hand-made copies of the new tunes for free after their set tonight at The Khyber...
