November and December typically account for 20%+ of an indie bookshop’s annual sales.

Our support is needed to help them keep the lights on in the new year. Shop small this holiday season & beyond, so your indie can support your community in 2026 & beyond.

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.

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.

Normally we're not big fans of Black Friday and the frenzied consumerism that accompanies it, but many of you asked for it, so here it is:

20% off premium orders from our International/On-demand collection. Through Monday. Use the code "BUYNOTHINGDAY" (our little joke) at checkout to get 20% off:
International On Demand
Print On Demand items that are more economical to be shipped outside the USA.

Since we’re hitting the late-in-the-year holidays and we all *hate* listening to commercials, here’s an early present:

@somafm.com has brought back Department Store Christmas…basically Christmas elevator music.

Show SomaFM some love if you dig the channel.

Do me a favor, in memory of the great Jimmy Cliff (RIP). Next time you need your mood lifted—and who doesn't these days? —just listen to this song. Pure, unadulterated joy

@somafm.com Big shout to the people at SomaFM. Been a big fan of Groove Salad for quite a few years. Always great to listen to escape the news, here in London, UK. Keep up the good work

My album "Circularity" (and my other Failover releases) is now available on most online music retailers & streaming platforms (except Spotify, for reasons I explained earlier) for you to stream or (cough) purchase...links in the comments.
Thanks again as always for supporting independent music!
