It's that time of year folks, when we all lay down plans for the new year before promptly "forgetting" about them a month later. I'm hoping that making mine public will force me to stick to them... but check back with me in February. Get more active: I know, I know, isn’t this everyone’s resolution, even if it is most often tacked with the perennial favorite, “lose weight?” But I already have the daily gym......

Maybe there was a demand for this kind of thing in the eighties. But Phillyist would imagine phone sex with this woman is only slightly better than phone sex with Fran Drescher. At least she's not offering a glass of "wooder." Shudder.......

So maybe a week of rain isn't the best time to ask you about your favorite place to stand outside and wait for food. But Phillyist wants to know: what's your favorite food truck in the city?

Tour. The Decemberists are out behind their latest disc, the wonderfully whimsical, yet also dark and atmospheric, Picaresque. Their......

By Daniel J. Linehan Even since Phillyist went to the Found Footage Festival last Saturday, we can’t stop wondering about Wayne Brian Meyer. Wondering, and giggling. See, Meyer hosts a show on Wisconsin cable access television, apparently for the sole purpose of expressing his tremendous amount of inchoate rage. Even before he warns that he will be “ordering people to DROP DEAD in the name of Jesus,” his glaring, hulking, be-flanneled form tells you that......
