Paging Nora Jones: Please give Ari Hest a call. This is the second time we’ve seen Hest, who played the Tin Angel last night, perform “I’ve Got You,” which he would like to record with Jones. It’s a sweet, waltz-y love song and much more whimsical than Hest’s usual fare of singer/songwriter, guitar heavy songs. He now, as he did last night, sings the female part in a beautiful falsesetto, but we’d love for......

Now that we've all had time to mull it over (the countdown ended with great fanfare and a live broadcast at the World Cafe this Monday), what does Phillyist think about WXPN's list of the 885 All Time Greatest Albums - specifically, the top ten? Well, first of all, for those of you too lazy to click a link, here is that top ten, reproduced for your pleasure (and/or displeasure): 10. Rubber Soul - The......

Last night was our first foray into WXPN's World Cafe Live, and we'd just like to say it is a delightful venue for seeing a show. The downstairs space is simultaneously spacious and intimate; the two separate stages are so well insulated that unless you wander out into the common areas you'd never know there was more than one concert going on; and the table service was friendly, attentive, and carried out by an......

Brad Pitt can't keep his hands off... Philly, it seems. Us Weekly announced that the Mr. and Mrs. Smith star will be joining Mr. Will Smith at Live 8 this weekend. And Pitt's possibly pregnant friend Angelina Jolie? It's rumored that she will be on hand for the festivities, but nothing's been confirmed. In addition to this big, um, addition, various outlets have confirmed that Kanye West, whose debut album, The College Dropout, was one......
