My favorite tracks of 2025. Definitely an eclectic mix, but likely a little something for everyone. Best played on shuffle. Enjoy! (Spotify version linked in comments) tidal.com/playlist/2be...

21 Years ago today, Xmas in Frisko was the #1 channel on the old Shoutcast directory!

Thank you @somafm.com for making long drives more fun

I listen to SomaFM year round, but it's ESPECIALLY perfect at Christmas!

If you don't know about @somafm.com, this is the best week of the year to check it out somafm.com/xmasrocks/

I'm giving away 100 ebook copies of "The Perfect Specimen" which is the prequel to "Six." Register to win one here: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

slowly getting Christmassy, listening to @somafm.com's Department Store Christmas channel. The vibe is my dad putting a record (OK, a tape or a CD) on and just chilling out to broadcast orchestras playing xmas music like it's the 20th century.

I've been playing 🎧 Chris Russell - Voyager (2022) I've known Chris for what seems like forever. He's always written good #ambient music - always. This album is on Exosphere - a @s1gnsofl1fe.bsky.social / @dontyler47.bsky.social Synphaera imprint. exospheremusic.bandcamp.com/album/voyager

Thank you @somafm.com, it wouldn't be Christmas without you and Christmas Lounge.

It’s with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ken Downie on 20/12/25. Rest In Peace brother, you will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Our condolences to Sheena and his family.

This is cool. SomaFM supporter Dave says: I built my own internet radio a year ago so I could listen to stations like yours without having to boot my PC!

Keep your holiday season merry and bright with SomaFM's holiday channels! Tune in at somafm.com/holidays/ or in our apps!

Annual reminder: this is the best Christmas song ever recorded.

#SomaFM promo queue is an #ambient release from Nick May - Places: Ambient Works (Future generations may refer to this as PAW) Liking so far, only 3 tracks in. First was a bit dense, atmosphere and chaotic-ish. 2nd sublime minimal. 3rd piano & birds. nickmaymusic.bandcamp.com/album/places...

Better get into the Holiday spirit via @somafm.com Xmas In Frisko somafm.com/xmasinfrisko/ Music for people who don’t like & like Christmas music!

“These results support the notion that music plays a dual role in collective mood management, functioning as mood management and regulation, depending on the context and intensity of societal emotions.”

Is an example of some of the crap we have to go through to keep providing commercial, free, listener supported radio. How long is a time consuming, but it will cost us a lot of money in legal and accounting fees.

One of Drone Zone’s most popular artists is having a listening party for their new album tomorrow on bandcamp

my good friend @louigiverona.bsky.social is having a listening party on Bandcamp tomorrow! #ambient louigi.bandcamp.com/merch/journe...

If you don't want all that AI garbage at the top of your google search results, you can stick -ai at the end of your search term and you'll get just the list of links to websites like in the good old days. Yesterday I learned. #GoogleAI #Google #AI #Google AI

The AI spam keeps coming...

☑️ Christmas lights plugged in!

We live in a terrible time. Good things are compromised, decent things are suspect, fun things are dangerous, and free things almost never are...except for @somafm.com. SomaFM is a miraculously still-standing island of goodness in a world of shit and evil and bile.

It's December 1, which means it's time for the incomparable Christmas Lounge on the great @somafm.com.

I keep hearing about the HUGE demand for AI and how bazillions of data centers will have to be built to keep up with the demand. I never demanded any of this, especially not the stupid ass AI overviews on the top of my searches, such as this helpful info that the pride parade is today, Nov. 30.

(It's in June.)
