Did you ever get with someone you hardly know to “If You Don’t Know Me By Now?” Ever satisfy your love jones to “Me and Mrs. Jones?” Have you ever gotten some ass to Teddy Pendergrass? No? Well, that is probably because you had me as a wing man. But, if you have, you need to head down to Macy’s Center City at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 7 and give some dap to the men who made all that baby-making possible. Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, the founders of Philadelphia’s own Philadelphia International Records and soon-to-be members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will be on hand for a meet-and-greet, and a $35 IZOD men’s purchase will net you a signed, 15-song compilation of the city institution’s greatest hits. What does IZOD have to do with Philadelphia International Records? Dude, I don’t know. All I’m saying is, if you buy yourself a pair of pants, I guarantee you will hear some mind-blowing music…and there will be some body-rockin', knockin-the-boots going on at your crib this weekend.

First of all, he is physically incapable of admitting when he is wrong. Just ask his wife,...

Cross – Justice While this debut album by French duo Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay leans heavily on the discography of fellow Parisians, Daft Punk, it breaks out on its own...

I can’t seem to leave Reading Terminal Market without stopping at Iovine Brothers. And I can’t seem to stop at Iovine Brothers without making a purchase. Yesterday, I saw that strawberries were on sale for a dollar. I have trouble passing up berries during the summertime anyway, but make ’em cheap enough, and you’re lucky if you’ve got any left when I’m through.

Apologies, first and foremost, to the actor behind whom I walked in last night. I know how jarring and distracting that can be, and you looked rather frightened when the door opened. It was unforgivable and unprofessional of me. All I can say is that I was absolutely certain that the play started half an hour later than what the curtain time actually was. I promise that that won't happen when I return tomorrow for .
