Great record store find in Strasbourg, France: "L'Occase de l'Oncle Tom"
Surprised at how many people were buying CDs, but they were mostly priced new from 7-8 Euros and had a great curated selection. Vinyl on the second floor as well, new and used.

Sad to learn of the passing of Ray Lynch, whose early "genre-defying instrumental music" releases had a real impact on us. We'll be sprinkling some of his tracks around Deep Space One and Drone Zone.

Some lovely floaty ambient here, #bandcampfriday and his 82-release discography is on sale for €55.50 today (considering that is about 4 CDs in the old days, this is a lot of listening for the price).

Tomorrow is once again #BandcampFriday, when Bandcamp waives their revenue share from all music sales & passes the funds directly to independent artists such as myself. So a great time to pick up the new album or any of my releases available on Bandcamp. Thanks!! 🙂

A technical issue caused streams to be inaccessible for a little over an hour between 3am-4am Pacific time. The main issue is resolved but there may be some temporary/occasional issues in the meantime as we fix the root cause. Thanks for your patience.

In an age of AI and Algorithms, it's been nice to just go back to listening to a radio station of human curated music. @somafm.com has been doing an amazing job with putting together some quality stations. My favorites have been Metal Detector, Groove Salad, DEF CON Radio, and ThistleRadio.
