Right on time for the 5th year in a row

The best version of the best song ever to give 2013 a big sendoff and welcome 2014. Our New Year's Eve tradition continues for the 5th year in a row as the best slot just before midnight is held by the Rolling Stones and 'Gimme Shelter'

We'll see you on the other side.

You can never have too much music

Or too much lip syncing. But it's a great song by the Babys, 'Isn't it Time' here in the 11 o' clock hour.


We're only gonna play one more song after this before midnight. If you know what that's going to be raise your hands.

Getting excited yet? Here's some U2 to help

The board is set, the pieces are moving...

...for a huge New Year's Eve party! Some dinnertime rock with The Clash and 'I'm Not Down'

The Jersey City Desk New Year's Rockin' Eve rolls on with Green Day!

We interrupt your New Year's Eve Music Series to announce a snowstorm!

8-12" from Thursday morning through Friday morning.

The Jersey City Desk Action Weather Team is naming this storm #WinterStormOgie

Nick Lowe will get you through the lunch hour

And 'So it Goes'...

Know who sounds good on New Year's Eve? Little Richard

How about some Culture Club for your mid-morning muffin and coffee

Some Culture Club to keep the fun rolling. Culture Club (with Helen Terry who sang the backup vocal on Church of the Poison Mind) and 'Miss Me Blind'

Is it live or is it Memorex?

The Jersey City Desk New Year's Rockin' Eve is on the air

So here we are again friends and dear readers, New Year's Eve. For those who have been around here for a while you know we're about to commence with an all day assault on your musical senses in celebration of 2014 arriving and 2013 exiting, stage left.

We'll start this year with a musician we lost this year, Jersey City's Richie Havens. Havens as many of you know was the first performer to play Woodstock. He went on stage as rumor has it because so many other acts were late to the show. So Richie played, and played and played and in doing so became one of the iconic acts at Woodstock.

Richie Havens with 'Freedom' kicking things off this year...
