Yep, Throwback Thursdays. For the first time in as long as I can remember I am going to be away from Philly. I’m heading up to Montreal for the Jazz Fest. So we had to do something special. Admit it, you’re probably not going to do anything today anyways. So here is Wildstyle, the 1983 movie for you to watch. Part 1 is above. Parts 2 - 10 after the jump.

New Superprince Mix / Hurrah Saturday

July 1st, 2009 by di1 · 1 Comment

superprincefront New Superprince Mix / Hurrah Saturday

Superprince is Shawn Ryan and Peter Dragontail and they have united for this summer time mix of awesome.

After hibernating through another cold Philadelphia winter, Superprince has awakened once again for a summer of block parties, drives to the Jersey shore & waking up in strange places. Good times lie ahead, but first we must take the proper precautions to make the summer of 09 legendary. You may need to get your bike tuned up. You may be on the market for a sexy new bathing suit. You may need another part-time job to support your iced coffe habit. You may just need an air conditioner. Superprince can’t help you with any of this. Superprince has however spent his winter distilling the perfect blend of upbeat summer songs for barbeques, beach trips, “fun”, etc. Follow the download link below to prepare yourself for impending summer joy.

Now how awesome is that?

Superprince - Superprince 2

Meanwhile fight aliens with Jay Yo and Shawn Ryan on Independence Day this Saturday at Hurrah.

Tangent: Credit Cards

July 1st, 2009 by di1 · No Comments


Tangent is a brand new web series dedicated to the conversational tangent.

All things, past, present, and future, are related and reciprocal. We’re going to show you how. Welcome to Tangent. Our pilot episode will explore the relationships between credit cards, Dwight Eisenhower, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Interstate Highway System, and a now-defunct publication called The Youth’s Companion.

Not the usual fare for 5151, but still interesting.
