beat box
Big ol’ white T-shirts and Fabolous-style baseball caps were in full effect for the infamous Greek weekend. And the ladies? They rocked T&A and Kangols for the most part. Ahh, but that was last week.
The Beat Box would like to welcome the Web's newest home for all Philly-ish : It's The 215 online store (www.the215.com/store). Log on to snatch up the best and brightest in Illadelph sound. Contact havok@ the215.com to get your stuff up for sale at the store. Go ahead, click, click, buy.
The second edition of the monthly poetry and soul showcase Food for Thought is back on the block. Knock, knock. Who is it? It's local unsigned talent: Ice Gritty and Cool Tone (of the 20th Street Morrocco's), He Speaks, Sugar Tongue Slim, Post Midnight, Uva, Okema and In the Company of Poets with live house band, Undaground Railroad.

And guess what fine, sexy crooner is coming to dinner this Wednesday night around 69th Street? Well he's not much of a hip-hopper, but he's surely in possession of more soul than you can shake a stick at and one bad-ass head of hair. Yep, it's Maxwell! Wed., July 24, the Tower Theater, 69th and Ludlow sts., www.electricfactory.com, 8 p.m., $48.50-$65. Ouch, Max puts a hurtin¹ on the pockets.
What¹s this? The new hot spot is where? OK, the cat pounced out of the bag. Want to see and be seen? Show off your trendy new whatchamacallit? Take a little trip to Soul Travelin’, a free Sunday night soiree at Alma de Cuba. And you will hear what? Rob Base's "It Takes Two" on the one and "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Stones on the two. 'Nuff said? Nah y'all, go check it out for yourself and leave the stank, playin' the wall, profilin' 'tudes at the crib or your mama's house. Sonic tour guides DJs Brendan and Joey Blanco keep the wax spinning with host Daniel "Gravy" Thomas and the women who make it happen: Jen Bragg, Narjah Perry and Elle.
