Radiohead, as everyone knows, is The Best Band in the World. But once, long ago, in the far off '90s, they just played really, really good pop music. Then came their career-changing album OK Computer. With this album, they created their own new genre - a heady, intellectual, electronica/indie pop that blew everyone's minds. It wasn't only a success and a huge turning point for Radiohead, it's a true masterpiece, and a watershed release in the history of music. So we think it's pretty cool that Philadelphia-based Radiohead tribute band Meeting in the Aisle is celebrating the album's tebth anniversary by playing the entire thing from beginning to end tonight at Grape Street.

Hi there Phillyist,

By Jen A. Miller

Starting this friday, it's Arts and Culture Week in Center City Philadelphia. This means 1/2 price tickets to a variety of Center City venues from the 21st through the 30th. If you've been looking to check out some of our Philly's swankier cultural offerings, now's the time.

Grape Street Pub in Manayunk is known for the eclectic mix of bands it brings in, and the eclectic crowd that goes along with it. But for we, the car-less of Philadelphia, it’s usually not worth making the trek. The music is usually still thumping long after the trains and busses stop running nearby, and we're too cheap for taxis. It would take a lot to make it worth it.
