Ongoing: “Sixth Borough” neck-and-neck with Terrell Owens in vitriol race

Some people just can’t let things go. The infamous “Sixth Borough” article was — what? — over the summer? Sounds about right. (A quick internet search reveals “August 14” to be the date. Counting off months on my fingers reveals that to be almost four months ago.)

And yet, nobody can really let it go, which really makes Philly look stupider than anyone calling it “the sixth borough” ever could. Like, aren’t we second-rate and proving the inferiority complex if people keep getting angry about it?

Case in point: Dan DeLuca’s review of the Plain Parade Philly-covers-Philly comp Songs from the Sixth Borough. DeLuca fails to notice any note of humor or irony in the title — which I, obviously, think is pretty funny and pokes fun at the idea of the “sixth borough” without the anger and insecurity of most critics — and instead wags his finger:

Which brings me to why Songs From the Sixth Borough is at once so heartening - and irksome. It’s an impressive compilation of promising bands that shows off Philadelphia as a stronghold of winsome indie-pop at a time when the scene is producing acts that could make it here, or anywhere. And yet it insists on defining itself in relation to New York.

But, oh, we’re not done just yet! Witness Stu Bykofsky’s column in today’s Daily News, where — in writing about the City Hall-gingerbread house mashup — he, too, feels the need to vent:

“It’s different than it was yesterday,” noted her friend, Mike Pirolo, a New Yorker who added, “I’ve never seen anything like this.” (Someone please show this to the clueless wart who wrote in The New York Times that some Philadelphians consider us to be the “sixth borough” of Noo Yawk.)

Hmm. I think there’s only one response to all this anger. That’s right: a puppy. Aww!
