Reflections of a Rock Lobster is a personal memoir blog I began in January 2006 - although I don't post as often as I did in the beginning, I still use the blog to share my thoughts, memories and stories of the past - as well as hopes for the future.

My Life In Thirty Seconds by Robert Drake
Everything old is good again.
I began spinning the new wave
sounds when they were NEW wave sounds , working in various underground clubs
in Philadelphia during the gritty era of 1981-1990. From off-radar spots
like The Love Club to commanding nights at Philly's premier alternative
hotspots The Kennel Club, Omni's and a few special nights at Danceteria in
NYC, the Rock of the 80s became Robert's passion.
Since 2003, I've has
shaped Philly's nightlife scene by introducing the genre to a whole new
generation of ears with his monthly Sex Dwarf party every first Friday at
Fluid to hosting Land Of The Lost; a monthly 4-hour block of the Rock of the
80s on WXPN-FM in Philadelphia, to bringing authentic 80s bands back to the
city for live concerts , it's all about the music!
And all that love and all that work have rewards: in fall 2006, I was named 'Best DJ in Philadelphia' and Sex Dwarf the 'Best Dance Party in Philly' by the readers of the Philadelphia City Paper in their 2006 Readers Choice Awards.
