1) The Budos Band. This shit is slicker than a Dave Matthews Band tourbus. Except, unlike DMB, it doesn't suck. It's like an Africanized version of Morphine (the band, you junkie), with just a touch of ska thrown in (in a good way, I swear). They play tonight at World Cafe.
2) Exploding pigeons*. This morning, as I walked to work, I passed a swarm of pigeons chowing down at the corner of 9th and Washington. Their bounty? Someone's discarded sticky rice. A whole quart of it. As you probably know, throwing rice at weddings has been banned in most urban settings, because, well... it makes pigeons blow the fuck up. And that, my friends, is a good thing. Thank you, neighbors.
3) KEXP (see link to the left), early on a friday morning, streaming distortion-free through good Sennheiser headphones, and most of the Philly working world on summer rules regarding fridays - that is - NO WORK ALLOWED. And you know this, man!
*yes, this is naught but myth. Dammit - it's summer in Philly - I have neither time nor patience for "facts"
