I just love SOMA.FMs "Mission Control" in the background when I don't want any particular kind of music, just some nice sounds to keep the quiet away.


Love love love SomaFM! Pretty much always playing DefCon, Underground 80s, or Groove Salad while I work. The soundtracks of my adult life.

Thanks, SomaFM folks, and I encourage everyone to support them financially with a donation or merch purchase.


"..there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."


For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure, this is a quote from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.


Been around since forever!


If you like drone-ish type music to work to, there's a variety on SomaFM. Or eight flavors of EDM, or even Americana. I usually tune in when I'm looking for "atmosphere", rather than a particular music I'm going to pay a lot of attention to.


Unbelievable that SomaFM is still around. I was a very active listener from 2003-2009 or so.


Came here to say this! I found most of my favorite songs and bands in that time frame listening to Indie Pop Rocks


SomaFM is awesome. I’ve actually got DEF CON radio playing in the background right now!


Their Xmas in Frisko station is so great for this time of year.

I like getting festive but I don't like the majority of Christmas music. They have a quirky and sometimes offensive collection of holiday music for that station. It's great!


man, I haven't thought of SomaFM in so long. I used to listen to so much Groove Salad


Groove Salad used to be my life. It put me through university , late night studying, geeking out on the computer.

I know most people listen to the ambient and groove salad stations, but I absolutely love listening to the seven inch soul station while doing chores.


i love listening to, and proselytizing, their alternative Christmas stations this time of year.


Love SomaFM.


Holy crap! You can add SomaFM directly to Sonos and to Tesla via TuneIn! GAME CHANGER!
