Wishing you a Fantabulous 2013!

Johnny's got some partying to do and so he's shutting the offices for now. We have a tradition that the last song before midnight is the Rolling Stones playing the best ever version of 'Gimme Shelter'. We are very happy to be able to continue that tradition for another year.

Have fun tonight Jersey City, Hoboken, New York City and everyone else. Here's to a wonderful 2013!

Happy 1966!!

How about a tune for prevening?

Prevening. You know, as Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory explained, the time between 4:30 and 6:00pm. Pat Benatar is here to tell you a warning tale of something that comes with a lot of strong drink, bloodshot eyes.

"Your eyes look like a road map, I'm scared to smell your breath
You'd better shut your peepers, before you bleed to death..."

Keeping the afternoon hopping with the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Since New Year's Eve can be an expensive night out

Here are the Flying Lizards covering a song that gets right to the root of tonight, Money. Need some good grog to drink? Money. New dress or tux? Money. Tickets to a club or an event? Money. Cab fare? Money. Reading the Jersey City Desk? Yeah, that's free.

While nobody will be walking in L.A. on the streets on NYC tonight...

...It's still a great song. Dale Bozzio, lead singer of Missing Persons did quite a bit of work with Frank Zappa, including her famous turn on the song 'Crew Slut'. No Zappa here though, just Missing Persons with 'Walking in L.A.'

How about a retro rocker before lunch on New Year's Eve 2012?

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will now sing to you about the benefits of 'Crimson and Clover'

The PATH is running all night long tonight

Just a quick note in between the music, for the first time since Superstorm Sandy the PATH will be running all night long:

Today the PATH will run both ways between Newark and the World Trade Center, Journal Square and 33rd Street, and Hoboken and 33rd Street, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Starting at 10 p.m. tonight through 5 a.m. on New Year's Day, service will run approximately every 10 minutes between Hoboken and 33rd Street, Newark and 33rd Street and Journal Square to 33rd Street. There will be no service between Newark and the World Trade Center during that time.

It's New Year's Eve and around here we have a tradition...

All day and tonight, it's music music, music! We'll keep your day and early evening moving along leading up to tonight's big moment.

We'll kick off this year's festivities with New Jersey's own Bon Jovi from the New Year's 1984 edition!
