Hang on, baseball fans. This week, the city's spotlight belongs on the Spectrum, where it will shine for four nights on the men of Pearl Jam and the fans who kept the venue in business for over 55 years.

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 albums of the year. There are some selections on this list (okay, one in particular) that are indefensible. But read on, and watch my credibility melt away before your very eyes...

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 the other hand, there was a sizeable crowd, and we were sitting above the pit, looking down on it. And oh, what a sight to behold. We tried to get some pictures of it, but none of them really came out. So you'll just have to imagine it. But trust us, it was big.

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 show.

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 it would be a good chance to enjoy a little nostalgia over bands like Bad Religion and MxPx, but we remained somewhat skeptical about how much we'd enjoy the day. After all, it was going to be a hot day and we were going to be surrounded by concrete. And teenagers. We were going to covering bands that we'd never heard, and that were of a genre that we only occasionally listen to these days. But, we hoped for the best and dove on in.

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. That's why we're pumped up for tomorrow's Vans Warped Tour at the Tweeter Center.

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 . 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 fill of them at North Star Bar when The Automatic Automatic (MySpace) take the stage.
