Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2008 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next. If you have a list you'd like to submit, let us know! My favorite part about about being a Phillyist writer is the late-night orgies checking out all sorts of music I never would have heard of, let alone heard, if I wasn't involved......

Seriously, when William Congreve said, "Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast," he was really saying, "I've never been to a Bad Religion concert." When we saw Bad Religion over the summer, we knew there was a pit - hell, we took a picture of it. But the crowd was relatively small, and even so, we were in front of the pit, so we couldn't really see what was going on. Wednesday night, on......

When we sat down to write a preview for tonight's Bad Religion show at the Electric Factory, we got a serious case of writers' block. That's probably because we figure everyone reading this knows who Bad Religion is and what they sound like. So this is really to call your attention to the fact that Bad Religion is in town, in case you didn't know and might want to rearrange your schedule to catch the......

Jillian Ashley Blair Ivey contributed to this piece. This hand, which pretty much sums up what Warped Tour is all about, belongs to MxPx's Mike Herrera. We went through that whole teen angst punk rock phase during our adolescence. Really, who didn't? But we kinda figured it was over and that we were "too old" for that now. So when we got the opportunity to cover the Vans Warped Tour stop in Camden, we figured......

We love when we get the opportunity to see a ton of bands in one shot. We love it even more when a couple of the bands are old favorites of ours and others are bands we've never heard of, because it gives us the chance to check out some new music, and if we don't like what we hear, we can always go back to the stuff we know and be completely satisfied.......

BBC America has instilled in us a love of all the accents of the British Isles – not just the ones you see on Masterpiece Theatre. A few years ago, we became quite enamored with a show called Mine All Mine. It didn't stay on very long (apparently Americans don't get jokes about feudalism!), but it did make us realize that we rather enjoy Welsh accents. And lucky us, because tonight, we can get our......
