So, the past two weeks I have been filling in as morning News Anchor - which basically means that I get up at 3:30am and travel crosstown to the studios, where I bring listeners up to speed on what they missed while getting that good night's sleep that I never got.
Anyway - the thing I love about Philadelphia is that, unlike NYC, it DOES sleep at night. And this is proof ... enjoy!

I began spinning the new wave sounds when they were NEW wave sounds , working in various underground clubs in Philadelphia during the gritty era of 1981-1990. From off-radar spots like The Love Club to commanding nights at Philly's premier alternative hotspots The Kennel Club, Omni's and a few special nights at Danceteria in NYC, the Rock of the 80s became my passion.
Since 2003, I've helped shape Philly's nightlife scene by introducing the genre to a whole new generation of ears with my monthly Sex Dwarf party every first Friday at Fluid to hosting Land Of The Lost; a monthly 4-hour block of the Rock of the 80s on WXPN-FM in Philadelphia, to bringing authentic 80s bands back to the city for live concerts... it's all about the music!
Land of the Lost!

Dude! That's beautiful!!
I love the city at that hour. I used to deliberately go out walking when it was all quiet like that. I used to do it with Patsy Kline in my head rather than Phillip Glass, though...
LOVE it!
I loved seeing the PECO building (do they even still call it that?) with the scrolling message. It would be neat if somehow it could be digitally changed to *good night!* or *sweet dreams!*
