there is always soma, delicious soma

When I work on Games of our Lives, I usually listen to Fred on 44 or Ethel on 47. I used to listen to Lucy on 54, but it's recently become totally unlistenable, thanks to the addition of Sheryl Crow (on the "alternative" station?), and the heavy rotation of Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers, making my satellite radio just as annoying as my regular radio. Way to go, XM.

Today, however, I'm listening to some fantastic radio from the internets that I thought I'd share with the five of you who don't know about it already: SomaFM, from San Francisco, specifically the Secret Agent station.

I used to listen to Soma quite often in the pre-Mac days, when I'd stream music over shoutcast on my Linux machine, but I usually listened to Groove Salad. I forgot about it until I found the Secret Agent station sort of by accident last night, and I've been listening to it pretty much nonstop since I got up this morning. So check it out, if you want to hear something you probably haven't heard before, or are in the mood for something totally different.

And while I'm off to work on next week's Games of our Lives, I encourage you to take a look at this week's installment, Bermuda Triangle, which has some cool (in my opinion, anyway) Easter Egg-ish obscure references for your "hey! I got that!" pleasure. While you're there, you may want to take a look at Guzzler, which I also think is pretty funny.
