In this fine city of ours, 88.5 WXPN is an institution. While we've never been able to figure out exactly the relationship between the station and the University of Pennsylvania (beyond an apparent mandate to broadcast all home Quaker games) and we keep getting letters telling us to renew our membership even though we did a few months ago (and it wasn't twelve either), Phillyist definitely has a soft spot for the X. We mean, Y-Rock? Land of the Lost? Come on! But as in any affectionate relationship, there are things XPN does that annoy us. Like their tendency to play a few "hit" songs to absolute death. Like hiding Indie Rock Hit Parade. And like David Dye.
