Mayer Hawthorne (he's played in town a dozen times) and
DJ Jazzy Jeff (last spied spinning behind
MC Nutter at
Mitchell & Ness' opening) just looped-and swooped over Mayer's "No Strings" — the Roller Boogie Remix.
Get it here.
Lil' Steph — Philadelphia-based burlesque performer and producer — is doing a gig with
Miss Rose and calling it
Bravissimo Burlesque every last Saturday of the month, starting Nov. 27. "Instead of wasting money going to see
Burlesque, the movie, come see and give thanks to real, live, neo-burlesque performance," says Steph about her new deal with
Monday Night Club host
Needles Jones,
Anastascia Beaverhousen of
LiCK, and
Grace Gotham. At WineO, 447 Poplar.
Sculptress/cultural entrepreneur/craft mistress
Candy Depew has things to do: Lecturing as part of Rit Row's
Art Alliance series
The Commonwealth on Dec. 9 and having a big Black Friday (and Saturday) sale at her
CandyCoated Center in Old City (118 N. Third, fourth floor).
WHOWHATWHERE: Can't stop won't stop:
Jersey Shore-ex
Angelina Pivarnick was whack drunk at
Recess. She hit the Second Street spot after doing a promo spot at
Jack's in Sewell NJ.
Power 99 studios got a visit from
El DeBarge en route to this Friday's hosting gig at
The Chase Center in Wilmington DE (Nov. 26). Speaking of Delaware, that state's own
Ryan Phillippe hit
Art in the Age in Old City and bought t-shirts. Then again
Toby Keith bought shirts from the
Irish Pub in Atlantic City after his gig at
Boardwalk Hall. Comic
George Lopez hit
Zee Bar and
Union Trust during his run at the
Kimmel Center. OK, during the show; before and after, you know? Who don't like lunch in South Philly? One-time homeboy
Seth Green ate at
Fitzwater Cafe on S. Seventh and comedian
Dom Irrera hit the
Saloon (750 S. 7th) for a quick lunch yesterday. When
Ben Harper wasn't busy packing the
Baptist Temple Performing Arts Center with
Dhani Harrison (an amazing show, check out those photos) as
Fistful of Mercy, he was spied in-and-around the
Franklin Institute. Kanye West didn't make a promotional appearance at
Sigma Sound Studios in Chinatown as discussed with
Def Jam but the much-prettier
Nikki Minaj hit the storied SSS in anticipation of her debut CD
Black Friday. MC
Talib Kweli made an on-stage appearance during lovely Philly-relocated nu-soul mistress
Res' Sunday residency at
Silk City. Progressive jazz-bos
Anam Owili-Eger,
Tim Motzer and
Tom Spiker are in her band. Res welcomes other alternative female artists to the stage like
Lady. Everyone hits
North Bowl after Silk. Sweet. Not sweet — dog killing QB
Michael Vick and his human brood hit North Bowl last week. Ugh.
Corset presentations from
Psydde Delicious, an operatic recitation from
Katie Kat, some live gauzy goth-pop from
Ego Likeness to say nothing of Victorian-inspired prose and films? If I can wear a brooch I'll hit
Dorian's Parlor at the new
Steampunk Lodge — the
Doubletree Hotel — on Nov. 27.
The Clef Club has a big tribute to legendary Philly bassist
Charles Fambrough on Dec. 6 with
Stanley Clarke,
Lenny White,
John Blake and
Chappy Washington (definitely) and invited players
Ruth Naomi Flloyd,
Warren Oree and
Pat Martino. Dec 6 is a good night for jazz.
