These days, it seems like most bands lack staying power. We can't think of many bands topping the charts right now that will still be around in thirty-five years—but hey, not many of them have the panache and showmanship of KISS. Currently on tour with Buckcherry, the Detroit shock rockers will be releasing Sonic Boom, their first album in eleven years, in Walmarts and Sams Clubs across the country next week. But because pyrotechnics and light shows and really scary makeup don't translate well to CD, if you want to get the full effect of KISS's music, you need to see them live. And the band will be awarding one lucky Phillyist reader with a pair of tickets to catch the Philly stop of the "Kiss Alive 35" Tour, October 12 at the Wachovia Center.

God Bless John Oates. And his 'stache.

Hey, did you hear? Some baseball team won the National League pennant.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Game|Life managed to get their hands on some early screenshots from the upcoming Ghostbusters video game. The winner of the Doritos Unlock Xbox Contest is Mike Borland's Dash of Destruction, the game where you run around as a T-Rex chasing a Doritos truck.

Holy crap! Somebody forgot to send us the memo, but it seems that July is National Ice Cream Month. That would be far more exciting if there weren't a scant week left before August begins and the happiest month of all (according to our tummies) ends – and we've hardly had a chance to celebrate at all!

this Saturday at 10 PM. Tickets are on sale now, so get your fishnets and your best bustier ready to do the time warp. Again.

We've talked about this show, and the contests associated with it, quite a lot, but we thought we'd give it all one more mention, now that the show is practically here. We are referring, of course, to the show tomorrow night at the Tower Theater, wherein the Noisettes (MySpace) and The Maccabees (MySpace) will open for Bloc Party (MySpace). It's an indie rock triple feature! How can you resist, we ask you? We couldn't, which is why we'll be going ourselves.

Ah, Valentine's Day: refuge of the uninspired lover and bane of the singleton's year. Fear not! We present our annual offbeat V-day guide, guaranteed to add some flair to the red-heart holiday (whose idea was it to put a celebration of love and relationships smack in the middle of the great gray beast February anyway, we ask you?).

Maybe Whiskey Dix has lost its charm (and maybe its license...again); maybe you just feel it’s time to get out during daylight hours. Maybe mom used to shield your eyes on the street and now you’re curious about the "freak shows" she wanted you to avoid. In any case, check out the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention. The three-day affair isn’t just for inked up bouncers and other assorted burly dudes, either. Attendance often includes families and people just in it for the spectacle. You know, people watchers like yours truly.

Get it? The inside ? Those ice cream makers are so clever!
