Sneaking in 174 songs from albums and singles by Charles Berthoud, The Beths, Beware Fashionable Women, Bishop Briggs, EMELINE, Foxy Shazam, I Monster, Karmin, Johnny Lloyd & Clif Norrell, Lauren Mayberry, Mother Mother, The Nines, Saint Motel, Sun & The Saint, Thomas Walsh, and Xana.

Periodically I’ll find mislabeled tracks in my music library (this morning: Emmet Swimming’s “Broken Oar” entered as “Broken Car”) and my first reaction is still “Ooo… I need to update CDDB”

155 songs added from albums and EPs by Kate Rusby, Wet Leg, boygenius, Orla Gartland, HAIM, Wes Cunningham, Celeste, Doves, Little Violet, Earl, Beware Fashionable Women, The Humbugs, and The Cat Empire. Now playing hourly on toast.radio!

It’s finally that time of year!

If you’re in the US, UK, Canada, or Mexico and have a smart speaker, it might be just this easy to listen to Toast Radio!

Well, hell

Good news on the music licensing front — Toast Radio can now be streamed in Mexico without resorting to a VPN! The same ad-free and talk-free stream that can be picked up through Live365, TuneIn, Apple Music, and on the toast.radio site. ¡Larga vida a la música!

103 songs added from albums, EPs, and singles from Jonie Blinman, Charlotte Cardin, Claud, Diving at Dawn, Infinity Song, The Posies, Maggie Rogers, Saint Motel, Sugar Stems, and Whitetree. Now playing hourly on toast.radio!

I had a dream last night where I was at a merch table that had Old 97’s stickers (sized between a large bumper sticker and a small banner) They didn’t have an apostrophe, so they had a stack of smaller stickers with one to put on the end (which made it Old 97s’, but my dream logic didn’t flag that)

First Five Star Friday of the new year! Some really great songs streamed so far with many more to come

A favorite lyric off a favorite song from a favorite album that in no way can be 27 years old: You’re writing postcards to yourself And they read: “I’m sad and I wish that you were here.”

Sure… strip all the Mastodon code from the upcoming artists bot @upcoming.toast.radio. It never got much traction there anyway and the botsin.space host is shutting down. None of its code is used on the Bluesky side, just save and go to bed. No need to test! (12 hours later notice it’s broken 🙄)

New music added to the stream by Chime School, Diving at Dawn, Dressy Bessy, Fuvk, Hana Vu, Nora O’Connor, The Umbrellas and more (check the alt-text for the full list) 20 albums, singles, and EPs with 151 songs by 16 artists — five of which were a result of Bluesky, which is pretty cool 😁

We’ve made it to another Five Star Friday — favorite songs all day long! Listen in at toast.radio or if you have a smart speaker, try telling it to “play the radio station Toast Radio” and it just might work! (as long as you’re in the US, UK, or Canada 😁)
