Coming back from Philly yesterday, I stumbled on WXPN’s broadcast of the new Tom Waits<\/span> album, Orphans<\/span>. Since XPN<\/span><\/a> is a listener-supported radio (they don’t say “public” because it is not affiliated with NPR), there were limited interuptions. It made for an enjoyable ride back from the city of brotherly love. I got to hear half of the first disc, Brawlers<\/span>, most of the second disc, Bawlers<\/span>, and half of the third disc, Bastards<\/span>. The first disc is rock stuff, while second is ballads. The third one is just weird, even for Waits.<\/p>\n

Also, XPN has several frequencies, including Harrisburg and the Lehigh Valley, so its reach is all of SE Pennsylvania and a good chunk of Maryland. They also have a Worton\/Baltimore frequency, which prompted the questions, why and where is Worton? It turns out Worton is due east of Charm City on the other side of the Chesepeake, but I don’t know why a Philly station is trying to be a Baltimore station too. The signal lasted until about Fort Meade, though, so I have no complaints. It was also interesting to hear traffic reports from Central Jersey to Baltimore with 25% of Pennsylvania too.<\/p>\n

Lastly, XPN has programming called “Y-Rock” which is the remnants of Philly’s Y-100. About two years ago when I headed up to the Poconos I had a great time listening to Philly radio, which was far superior to D.C.’s airwaves. Of course, that is not saying much. Anyway, I enjoyed listening Y-100<\/span>, only to find out that the format changed a week later. I should have blogged about that back then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
