Hope it doesn't snow anymore this season! "As Delaware digs out of about a foot and a half of snow, state officials realized Monday they don't have enough money budgeted to pay for the cleanup. The state has $3.2 million in its snow removal account. But it costs between $3.5 million and $4 million for every 8 inches of snow that falls, Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Carolann

I have few heroes. John Lydon is one of them.

This pretty much sums up Maui at his best.First he stares you down. When that doesn't work, he starts barking.And won't stop until he has your attention.

Here is Jawbox's reunion performance of "Savory" on Jimmy Fallon. I gotta say this is a really strong effort. They definitely picked the right song and their energy is awesome. Cool to see a punk rock band get some mainstream props without it being a cheesy cash-in or going-through-the-motions affair. They did this to promote the reissue of "For Your Own Special Sweetheart."These subsequent

Un-pretentious break down of Prince's guitar solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Written by Bill Janovitz of Buffalo Tom fame. Cover of the Week: While My Guitar Gently WeepsBTW, I LOVE Buffalo Tom's cover of "Butterflies" on the Mark Mulcahy tribute album.

When I was approached this summer by Scott Wasserman to see if The Stiffs would reform for a benefit show, I had a feeling it would turn out well.Once every few years I'd listen back to The Stiffs' demo tape, "Dance of the Dead," and imagine what it would be like if we got back together. It turns out that all it took to make that happen was for someone to ask!Everyone was keen on the idea and

From myfoxphilly.com: "A liquor store clerk shot and killed a suspected robber overnight in Wilmington, police said. Up to three men wearing masks entered the Favors Liquor Store on Walnut Street around 9:30 p.m. Guns were allegedly pointed at the clerk inside, and money was demanded.Police said the 55-year-old clerk soon pulled out his own gun and started shooting. One suspect was hit, dropped

This article originally appeared on phillyBurbs.com.Few drummers can truly make a drum kit come to life and play the instrument the way it was meant to be played; Jerry Fuchs was one of those drummers.Fuchs' style was reminiscent of the stripped down and driving beats of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham. Both drummers placed little value on flash, instead focusing on developing rock solid beats that

Punk rock on a major network's "indie channel." Oh cool.It's like 1993 all over again the major label grab at hipster credibility and attempt to monetize punk rock in the wake of Nirvana. Except this time on the Internet.
