Some artists seem just born to entertain. They're not gonna wow you with their musicianship. They're not writing the most stirringly beautiful songs. They're just really freakin' fun. And that pretty much sums up Locksley (MySpace). We've really dug their latest album, Don't Make Me Wait, but we still weren't expecting much. Not that we thought Locksley would be bad. We just kinda figured that they wouldn't give us much reason to endorse their live......

How's work going for you this week? Are you feeling a little bummed that it's Wednesday? The memory of last weekend has faded, and you've still got a couple days of work to plow through before you get to this weekend, right? You're feeling a little down, and you could really use a bit of a pick-me-up. Luckily for you, you'll be able to get exactly what you need at the Fillmore at the TLA......

Sorry we left you craving more juicy commentary on yesterday's evening preview. We've added more juice to today's listings and we hope the added flavor is subtle but effective, leaving a lingering but not unpleasant aftertaste. PHILADELPHIA FUTURE SALON Most of us can agree that we want to be around for as much of the future as we can, but not everyone agrees on what it should like when we get there. Luckily, someone......

Tonight, Rooney is opening for Fergie's Verizon Wireless VIP Tour at the Electric Factory. Unfortunately you can't buy tickets to this show, but you can actually WIN tickets at various places around town. We've never heard of an artist doing an all-promotional concert. Interesting. Fergie must be getting paid pretty good from Verizon to promote the hell out of their products. We found out through a Fergie's MySpace bulletin that you can get tickets.......

As we predicted, it was a packed house at last night’s Incubus concert at the Electric Factory. And it the crowd was a weird mix, too – a lot of people who think Incubus is just the best band ever (we’re going to guess that these folks also rocked out to Creed back in the day and maybe today, too), fans of Albert Hammond, Jr.’s more mellow music, and a lot of drunk teenagers.......

This weekend in English football has as its highlights back to back "derby days" which will see crosstown rivals doing battle against each other. Come out to the pub, grab a coffee or a beer, and imagine The Eagles playing a game against a team from Northeast Philly. Manchester United vs Manchester City Man City seek the improbable as they travel across town Saturday to Old Trafford where they have not won since 1974.......

Game time: 11 am November 26th, 2006 Location: (Old Trafford) Manchester, England The action began in a tentative fashion, with Chelsea displaying a great deal of respect for the current league leaders. Man U, however, seemed more willing to test their opponents early. At 7:00 Wayne Rooney rushed into the box and sent a pass that narrowly missed a wide-open Cristiano Rinaldo as it was inadvertently redirected by teammate Louis Saha. At 9:10 Ryan......

The energy in the Theatre of Dreams will swell to an electrified cacophony this Sunday as Manchester United hosts Chelsea in a battle for Premiership dominance. Three points ahead of Chelsea, Man U hopes to extend their lead and eventually run away in the standings as Chelsea, the league winner the previous two seasons, did a year ago. Both teams possess added motivation as each squad has suffered disappointing Champions League losses in the......
