Members of the Callowhill Neighborhood Association heard a pitch Monday night for a proposed residential development on the 1100 block of Ridge Avenue, between Spring Garden and Buttonwood streets. The proposal calls for four attached four-story apartment buildings on an existing surface parking lot zoned for industrial use.

On July 14th Hive76 will be hosting a class on piezo transducers! What’s so cool about peizo transducers? They let you turn anything into an electric instrument that you can amplify, record, and experiment with! These nifty little devices turn vibrations into usable electrical signals -and the nice thing is that they’re dirt cheap and easy to work with.

The songs are deep but not sorrowful and there is a sense of humor in some that can only come out when you are sleeping in a tent and considering the name ‘Frankenfish’ for the album title, but “Chesapeake” won out and Frankenfish became the name of my label. Midway through recording the album, we had a listening party bbq tonight where one person said to me that the songs sound like I’m in control of my own life now and I think she is right. “Chesapeake” has been made with a lot of love in the room (and tequila) and like the Franken fish that can swim and walk on land is surprising the hell outta me.

On Friday, July 12 2013, the Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art (PhilaMOCA) is paying homage to David Lynch and the “Eraserhood” part of town with their second annual Eraserhood Forever event.
The Eraserhood is the gritty area of North Central Philly, roughly bordered east-to-west by Eighth and Broad streets and north-to-south by Spring Garden and Vine streets, where the artist lived, studied and was inspired for his debut ’77 feature film, Eraserhead. “It’s the sickest, most corrupt, decaying, fear-ridden city imaginable. I was very poor and living in bad areas. I felt like I was constantly in danger. But it was so fantastic at the same time.”
Eraserhood Forever (And Ever) will celebrate David Lynch with a themed art show and entertainment. The excellent Silencio from Pittsburgh, PA, and Philadelphia locals Weird Hot will perform, interspersed by comedy and Lynchian burlesque acts courtesy of Miss Rose and friends, with Ben Velvet hosting for a second time. Last but certainly not least, the night will also include the world premiere screening of the PhilaMOCA-created short film, ERASERHOOD FOREVER, a portrait of the rapidly evolving neighborhood.
