The fact that this morning's article about "Bonnie and Clyde" turning themselves in starts with a story about Kirsch's tits would be funny anyway, but we find it particularly amusing given the focus and title of our post on the subject yesterday. Yesterday's snow storm didn't cause too much trauma, besides a few accidents, some icy roads and sidewalks, and some school delays. The developer working on the Girard Warehouses ("the historic complex of early...

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Frank Darabont changed the ending of The Mist for the movie - and King approved. Not only is Guitar Hero III expected to single-handedly cause huge growth in the video game industry, it's also apparently causing growth in album sales for the artists whose songs appear in it. Heads up, amateur scribes and video game fans! BioWare is...

The Inquirer takes another look at the troubling recent increase, both locally and nationally, in the shooting of police. Mayor Nutter, in his first speech outside the city since the election, as the keynote speaker at the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry's annual dinner, got a standing ovation before and after, and urged Southeastern Pennsylvania to come together and work as one to achieve greatness. Police are still investigating gunshots fired shortly before...

This Sunday, a music legend comes to the World Cafe Live. And he's not just coming to play. Bob Mould (MySpace) will take part in a special Q&A session before performing an intimate acoustic set. Then he'll step aside for a screening of his first concert DVD, Circle of Friends. If that doesn't sound cool, there's something wrong with you. Bob Mould is, of course, the mastermind behind punk/college rock band Hüsker Dü and...

Londonist got the big scoop of the week with what may be the first images of notorious street artist Banksy in action. They also got on a runaway train without an operator provoking a response from the transport authorities. Elsewhere, London's answer to Central Station is about to open for business, and Londonist got a sneak preview. Meanwhile, spooky goings-on beneath London Bridge, where a cache of skeletons provided an apt story for Hallowe'en.

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week.

Eggplant is a versatile vegetable. Its many uses include:

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

A few weeks ago, Phillyist was contacted by the makers of TrueBlue Blueberry Juice. Would we be interested in sampling their wares, they asked. Never the kind of person to turn down free stuff, this particular Phillyist gladly accepted the offer. I assumed that I'd get a single-serving bottle or two to sample. A week later, I was the proud recipient of eight sixty-four ounce bottles—sixty-four servings to share with the Phillyist staff!—of the deep blue juice, which, it turns out, is sweetened with natural cane sugar rather than industry standard high fructose corn syrup.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

Philadelphia-born and internationally acclaimed musician Teddy Pendergrass has been working in the music industry since 1968, performing as both a drummer and singer. In 1976, he started his career as a solo artist and became the first black male singer to record five multi-platinum albums in a row.

With all that went down this week, we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs.

If you’ve got nothing to do tonight, or if you’ve got something to do, but want better plans, head over to the Gordon Theater, and check out DJ Spooky’s self-proclaimed “digital exorcism”: “Rebirth of a Nation.”

We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which. Baseball may have started up (and soccer/football winding down) but it still seems cold out there. Unless it's not. Anyways, onto the -ists.

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend...

On the one hand, we can really appreciate that the Office of Homeland Security is doing their best to keep suspected terrorists as far away from us as possible.

This suburban Phillyist was felled by the twin terrors of a flooded basement and strep throat (no, really. We're loving March so far) Friday night, and couldn't venture into the city to catch Local Boy Making Good Matt Duke's show at the World Café Live. Fortunately for us, Sister of Phillyist is both a Drexel student and a total Matt Duke fangirl, so she agreed to cover the show for us. What follows is her guest review of last night's show.

I am one of the most over-committed people I know. I work a full-time job in a client-related industry that often means that it's not a five o'clock world when the whistle blows. I co-edit Phillyist and generate a minimum of ten new posts for the site every week. Between those two things alone, I'm looking at an eighty-hour work week. So clearly, I should be in rehearsals for a musical being produced in March (I'm acting, singing, and dancing, in addition to acting as the production's dance captain), acting in a Solo Works Festival next week, and working as the fill-in dresser for a professional theatrical production that opens tomorrow. What that last item means is that I'm in tech week (a.k.a. "hell week") right now.

My last interview was last Friday. It was short and sweet and I thought it went well. And you know what, I bet the interviewer thought it went well, too. So I called her up today to touch base and get some idea of whether or not I should still be searching in Hardcore mode or take it down a notch or two, maybe to Average mode.
