Believe it or not, it's been almost a whole year since the alternative rock station we all knew and loved as Y100 disappeared off the airwaves, victim of a format change, and the variety of music on Philly radio got that much smaller. Luckily, Y100 didn't vanish completely. It just retreated to that same wonderful place that Phillyist calls home - the internet!

Yes, Y100 has been rocking away online for a full year (you can listen at Live365, or catch their podcasts at the iTunes Music Store), and they're celebrating their first birthday with a month-long series of weekend concerts, starting tonight. Some of the cooler shows (New Pornographers, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) are already sold out, but if you head over to their website you'll see there are still chances to win tickets to the sold out shows, and there are plenty of other perfectly good shows with tickets still available.

Awesome. You really can't stop the signal...
