I’m honored to say this is me with my kitty Zuma’s head 😻 Can’t believe it’s still there, or that it exists in the first place! Thank you forever, Lugo!!
I usually stay around my own neighborhood, so when I venture down to south Philly I get the treat of seeing a different set of street art.

This one is by Sean Lugo, whose signature is animal heads on people’s bodies. His stuff is SO good. Love this cat.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social So awesome hearing Gail Ann Dorsey. She is so insanely talented. Really deserves to be huge. If you’ve never heard her sing the Freddy Mercury parts of Under Pressure live with David Bowie, go treat yourself. youtu.be/zg7lt9lg3gA?...

Gail Ann Dorsey told me she listens to me on @wxpnfm.bsky.social!!! Screaming and crying.

Happy early International Women’s Day from your Philly ladies y’all

Two of the people I loved the most in 1995 have absolutely crushed my heart. One of them is Gwen Stefani. One day I’ll feel safe enough to publicly name the other one. For now I’ll say … be careful what you wish for. And you probably don’t want to meet your heroes (I’ve never met her).

Gotta tell y’all, when @kallao.bsky.social came up with the idea for this year’s countdown, he said “Seven Nation Army” was the first song that came to his mind. He created this moment!! You rock dude #XPNcountdown

It is hilarious that HEY YA! landed between two of the most beautiful love songs written and recorded in the last 25 years 🤣 #XPNcountdown

Jason Isbell is the real deal. Love this guy. And “If We Were Vampires” absolutely deserves to be top 5.

“Maybe time running out is a gift
I’ll work hard ‘til the end of my shift”

Gutted. Every time I hear it. #XPNcountdown

There is something so powerful about knowing RADIO brings ppl together to listen to a song like The Joke in real time, so we can know that someone else is feeling the exact same feelings at the exact same time. God bless radio and God bless @wxpnfm.bsky.social #xpncountdown

This song was the ARRIVAL of an ARTIST. Still getting chills right now listening to those haunting backing vocals on “Take Me to Church!” #XPNcountdown

As we head toward the top 10, I wanna say, I’ve seen a remarkable number of you saying it’s been a hard year. Me too! But you, @wxpnfm.bsky.social members & #XPNcountdown enthusiasts? Your kindness, support, and humor have provided much needed levity for everyone in this lucky community. THANK YOU.
