Not everyone happy: RT @ghostfinder: I am officially abandoning Indie Pop Rocks on @somafm. It went from amazing indie to bland nonsense.
yay! RT @indiequick: Big thanks to @somafm today. Indie Pop Rocks station to be exact. I find so much good music cause of you.
We’re having a “quiet” pledge drive this week. Please support SomaFM if you like what we’re doing. http://somafm.com/support
RT @SomaFmRusty: Great show by Seabear tonight at a full (but not overpacked) house @ the Independent. Did a new song during the encore too.
We are doing some upgrades to our studio gear and stream encoders on some channels today, you might hear a momentary glitch occasionally.
One of our favorite Icelandic bands, Seabear (heard on Digitalis), is playing at The Independent in San Francisco monday night.
Congrats to the SF Giants for winning the pennant! (and you should have heard the screams and honking in the city when it happened)
dZihan & Kamien have a new album http://www.dzihankamien.com/ Alas, it will also be their last album as a team. :-(
New Brian Eno album, “Small Craft on a Milk Sea” will have a super fancy, $150 vinyl collector’s edition release that includes 24 bit WAVs
yes @oskarjokull we launch our holiday channels the first week in November. Doomed will have special Halloween programming this year too.
RT @EliseIPR: Treasure Island Music Festival!!!!! If you’re on the island this weekend, say hi!
Woot! Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco this weekend. Say hi if you see Elise (Indie Pop Rocks)
Happy Birthday to Boot Liquor music director and long time SomaFM collaborator Roy Batchelor http://soma.fm/bootliquor/aboutyourdj.html
RT @SomaFmRusty: Here’s a video (not from tonight, alas) of one of the electro tracks Bloodgroup played tonight. http://vimeo.com/7314545
RT @dalelarson: loves how @SomaFM Groove Salad fades in each morning in the office now that I set an @Sonos alarm. Zero effort, great tunes.
Posted some updates from Iceland Airwaves tonight at http://airwaves.somafm.com/
:-) RT @joelgrus: @SomaFM Digitalis is way better than Pandora station seeded with its most-played songs. Humans 1, Computers 0.

We’ll do testing this year and then plan to do a full live ambiance of the Playa next year. Audio level control will be the challenge.
We’re discussing doing a live broadcast of just the ambient audio of Burningman w/ a stereo mic in the middle of the Playa. Interesting?
Virtual Burningman: Watch the video (on mute) on http://www.ustream.tv/burningman and listen to Black Rock FM http://somafm.com/brfm
RT @Shiggidy: @somafm You’re on reddit’s frontpage :-P http://bit.ly/9OlM0Q
New channel (for the next 2 weeks): Black Rock FM, from the Playa to the World. http://somafm.com/brfm/ #burningman
Thanks to @day9tv for the shoutouts.
Of course, on the Playa, we play deep ambient from about 3am to 8am pacific. Like Drone Zone. But the rest of the time, it’s special!
One other thing: Vote for this panel too! http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/7661 “Enhancing Online Music Through Audio Processing”
Please vote for Rusty’s SXSW panel proposal: How to start your own net radio station. http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/7660
Like minds! RT @sthuebner: If you like @somafm please donate! I don’t want to listen to *any* commercials!
Thanks! RT @Latz: @somafm I checked it out and it’s the best 80’s channel I found on the Net, ever.
If you haven’t checked out our new Underground 80s channel, give it a listen: http://somafm.com/u80s/
