Unfortunately, the worthwhile all ages pickins are quite slim this week, with a whopping one kick ass show.  However, next week Philly has six age-restriction-free shows (including my buddy, Elizabeth Ziman, hitting up the Factory in support of Sara Bareilles) that you should consider checking out, so catch up...

I’m sure we can all remember where we were the first time we saw The Human Centipede.  Okay, so the film proved to be about as shocking and memorable as a John Mayer song, but I actually have a sort of cute story to accompany my first viewing of,...

During a 2006 performance at the Starlight Ballroom, The Gossip’s Beth Ditto intro-ed a new song by saying “This song is based on an old Riot Grrrl adage… Wait, you’re all too young to even know what Riot Grrrl is.”  That broke my heart… and has continued to break...

So I’m not sure if any of you followed my advice/suggestions for last week’s “Do It for the Kids,” and attended any of the week’s best all ages gigs, but I did end up making it out to two out of three of my own picks.  I am a...

All of Philthy is well aware that I kind of have a thing for whimsical singer/songwriters.  Well, that is why, Tuesday (September 27) you will find me in Olde City at the Tin Angel for a sure-to-be-enchanting performance by Madi Diaz.  Last week Madi released a 3-song EP, Far...

So I’ve had this album lounging around my apt. since June, yet its shrink-wrap wasn’t undone until this afternoon (It hits US shelves tomorrow).  However, it might be the coolest thing I’ve heard all year.  It’s Explode by The Gift, the fifth LP from the Portuguese alt. rockers, who...

So I know we’ve all been watching The Playboy Club on NBC… I’m kidding.  If you have seen that show, stop reading my blog (Seriously, you’re not welcome here).  But this Tuesday the Criterion Collection drops Olivier Assayas’ Carlos, the three-part, 339-minute biopic recounting the adventures of Illich Ramirez...

I used to write a column called “Do It for the Kids” for a pretty lame publication which no longer exists… so now it’s going to belong to Philthy.  Aside from being a pretty badass song by a “supergroup” that I probably shouldn’t be admitting I like, “Do It...

So this entry is not exactly substantial.  In fact, it probably could’ve been slightly edited and conveyed via Twitter.  However, I feel as though our subject deserves a little more than that.  I just wanted to formally wish Anna Karina, likely the most gorgeous creature to ever grace this...
