Posted Blogs in the Time of Cholera... Err, Springtime to Phillyist
March is trying to go out like a lamb, but some damn chill yesterday morning left Phillyist wondering when the weather is going to warm up for good. Not like global warming for good, but you get it. Anyhow the Philly blogosphere was kind of light this week. That said, there was a definite sense of hope in the air; the snow has melted (what snow?), and it's almost skirts and/or shorts time. It's also...
Posted Phillyist Wants to Know: Wii-diculous to Phillyist
So you're trying to find a Wii in the Philadelphia area? Yeah, Phillyist too. Umm, got any leads? After hearing all the stories about folks who lost like 20 lbs. and scored with every chick in sight after playing the Wii, Phillyist decided to try and board that gravy train.

In the wake of a 15-song outing lasting just over 40 minutes, the Black Lips vocalist/bassist Jared Swilley knocked back a shot of Jameson at the upstairs bar; he should have brought enough to share with the class. The band rolled through their set, sandwiched in between Philly's The Mountain High and Chicago headliners The Pony's, to a packed house at the cozy Johnny Brenda's, barely stopping to introduce themselves or their songs. Not that...
Posted Mustachioed Bud Drinkers Rejoice! to Phillyist
Drunken calisthenics. That's really the mental image that the Black Lips imparts on Phillyist. See for yourself, then come back. Let the whole clip play, even the bits at the end, then tell us that this band won't be freaking awesome live. If you didn't like the clip, you're a tool. If you did, check them out at Johnny Brenda's this Sunday. XPN has been all over these guys, and if they're in any way...
