Sunset in Philly last night. If you look closely, there's an arc of a flock of birds flying above the building in the middle. #Philadelphia
A photograph of sunset in Philadelphia on the evening of November 17, 2025, taken from the Market Street Bridge over the Schuylkill River. An arced line of a flock of birds is just about visible in the reddening sky.

Formed by producer #RonDeanMiller ft vocals from #VikkiLove, #NYC #Freestyle group #NUANCE’s 1984 track “Loveride” was a #1 USA Dance Chart hit. Critic #ChaseLopp called it “an infectious blast of rump-shaking merriment”- the Dub Mix was a Starck classic

Born in #Maryland, singer/producer #UltraNate has had nearly a dozen songs enter the USA Dance Chart Top10 & in 2016 Billboard Mag ranked her as the 12th most successful dance artist of all time- her 1989 debut single “It’s Over Now” was a beloved Starck fave

Old street art piece from Broome St in NYC that reminded me of the film Jacob's Ladder, don't know the artist and not able to decipher what looks like a signature top left. #StreetArt
Wheatpaste street art posted on a wall in Broome Street in New York City, depicting a shirtless barefoot man in black pants leaning to one side with elbows against his sides and lower arms splayed with palms upward.

Simple Minds | Love Song | 1981

@ no.3

Shoulda. Woulda. Coulda. Inexplicably failed to do the chart business. What did they have to do to get a hit? Pop-wise, this had everything going for it. Result - no. 40-f**king-7.
