The Market Report is a weekly column written by Ken Klein of Klein’s Supermarket in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood. He writes the column for the Art Museum Area News and kindly allows me to post it here. The report is a fascinating look at the forces that drive the quality and price of our […]
Mix of the week: pink elephants versus modest mice
14 Comments Published by Becky S April 29th, 2005 in artsI recently heard of talk that Good Grief should feature a new mix of the week but probably won’t because I “have a life now.” WTF? I’ve always had a life. Type it to my face, mister (you know who you are). To retaliate, I’ve created the ultimate annoying mix for […]
After reading the latest Wired Japanese schoolgirl watch, I am thankful not to be a Japanese schoolgirl. The pressure to have the latest Hello Kitty gadget! The endless quest for cuteness! The constant buzzing, ringing, and beeping of electronic devices! How do they do it?
Japanese schoolgirls are now wearing spooky black […]
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
6 Comments Published by Becky S April 27th, 2005 in arts, philadelphia Here is the obligatory weblog entry about last night’s Philadelphia premiere of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Obligatory because we got to see the movie free and before opening day, which allows me to say this: neener neener.
Seriously, I’m never on the list for anything, so I get excited about stuff like movie […]
Max Raabe and Palast Orchester are playing Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, November 30th. My plan is to rally the local Max Raabe fan club and charter a Chinatown bus.

Jim and Jennie & The Pinetops: they’re back!
2 Comments Published by Becky S April 25th, 2005 in arts
Jim and Jennie & The Pinetops haven’t been to Philadelphia in such a long time that I’d stopped checking the performance schedule on their website. But the ever-excellent Bloodshot Records announced today that Rivers Roll on By, the new Jim and Jennie CD, is now available!
Even better, the band is playing two Philly […]
April is the cruellest month
17 Comments Published by Becky S April 24th, 2005 in miscellaneous fluff, wtf?Good Grief has a strict no quiz policy. You know, because people who put quizzes on weblogs are mindless followers with nothing original to say. Who cares what 70s punk rock drummer or lipstick color I am? I don’t wear lipstick, and I don’t need a silly quiz to know that I’m […]
So which pyramid has the fluffernutter?
19 Comments Published by Becky S April 20th, 2005 in wtf?, foodJust when you figure out the one-size-fits-all food pyramid, Uncle Sam scraps the whole system and replaces it with twelve different pyramids, all of which have vertical stripes that are not only unfashionable but fuck up the entire pyramid metaphor. People, pyramids do not have vertical stripes!
Due to a bad case of pyramid paralysis, […]
Wow, that last post was cheesy. Is this still a Philadelphia weblog? Hell, yeah. Just to prove it, here’s a picture of the next door neighbor’s latest sign. He likes to make signs.

Opening day, Fairmount style
24 Comments Published by Becky S April 17th, 2005 in sports, philadelphiaAre Fairmount residents protesting the high price of gas? Nope. This procession can mean only one thing—opening day for the Fairmount Sports Association’s baseball and softball leagues. Every year, team members and coaches don their uniforms and march through Fairmount to the tune of bagpipes, ending up at Von Colln Field for […]
