• Posted Girl Talk and Dan Deacon Tonight to Phillyist
  Still riding the good vibes of their 2006 releases, Girl Talk and Dan Deacon come to town this evening for an R5 show at Club Polaris (AKA the Starlight Ballroom). Girl Talk -- stage name for Pittsburgh's Greg Gillis -- released, in this writer's opinion, the best album of 2006. Night Ripper took the mash-up to another level. Instead of pitting one song against another, Gillis' remixes replaced traditional musical notes with sample upon sample....

• Posted Wait A Second, The Sixers Suck? to Phillyist
  After a disappointing 101-90 loss to the New Jersey Nets last night, the general print/radio media opinion seems to be, "Hmm, the Sixers kind of suck." And hey, we agree, but way to be a few months late, fellas. After all, didn't the Sixers ink Kyle Korver to a multi-year deal this offseason? We sort of knew then. And of course this all makes us feel much worse for Mo Cheeks. Don't you sort of...
• Posted Ashton Kutcher Wouldn't Stand For This to Phillyist
  We forget who called Kyle Korver the Ashton Kutcher of the Sixers (and the NBA, really), but we sort of agree, even though the comparison doesn't make sense when you think about. Sure, they kind of have shaggy hair, but Ringo Starr did too. Early on, anyways. But hey, let's forget about that and start talking about why we'd actually post about the Sixers D-less small forward. Why? Well, he's holding a coat drive at...
