Once upon a time, a girl lived in Philadelphia. One day she turned on her old-fashioned, non-satellite radio. “This pop station’s too cheesy!” she cringed. “This rock station is all Howard-Stern-wannabes…” she groaned. But then she tuned in to Y-Rock on XPN and thought, “This is just right.” After Y100 was yanked off the air in 2005, a few dedicated station employees kept the station alive and now you can find it 88.5 on your radio dial every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night. Or you can listen online 24/7, which is awesome when you work a desk job and are bored with the tunes on your iPod. On Y-Rock, you won’t be assaulted by tasteless Creed ballads or other nauseating music that passes for rock on most mainstream stations. Instead you’ll find some of the best up-and-coming artists like Amy Winehouse as well as some trusty staples, like the Tragically Hip. Remember how thrilling it was to hear a new song for the first time and actually feel connected to it? As opposed to being told about it by some friends or a music magazine? Tune in to Y-Rock on XPN to bring those goosebumps back.
