Again to post about something other than the horrors I need everyone to know that @somafm.com has a "classic groove salad" channel so that you can EXACTLY RECREATE the experience of being a teenager on a bondi blue iMac listening to chill music in the middle of the night in 2002

I love @somafm.com. I send them $10 every month to help keep the lights on. I do most of my music buying through @bandcamp.com. Such a useful way to find new music and support artists.

@lemonodor.bsky.social You see this? "most aviation radio frequencies were hit by massive interference, forcing a precautionary shutdown of Greek airspace"

Some Greek flights resume after air traffic radio collapse
There was little clarity on what caused the disruption, which began early Sunday and quickly escalated, affecting travel plans of thousands on the last weekend of the holiday period.

I recently rediscovered @somafm.com after many years away (I think I started listening in ~2002) and so many of the channels make excellent soundtracks for writing. I'm so glad they're still out there after 25 years.

My favorite tracks of 2025. Definitely an eclectic mix, but likely a little something for everyone. Best played on shuffle. Enjoy!

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.
