Music

What do you listen to?

Regular radio is so boring and unoriginal. They are always playing something that you don't really want to listen to. They have annoying commercials to try to sell you things that you don't want. It is nothing more than background noise and is worth exactly what you pay into it for.

The other music format to listen to is CD's or MP3 players. That is a little better than radio in many ways but you still only get out of it what you put into it. Also, changing CD's is a pain.

I would like to introduce you to an online site which has ten different stations for your listening pleasure. Something for everyone's taste. I came upon the site by accident one day and now it is just about all I listen to on my computer. I like that most of what I hear on Soma is new to me. The themes for the different stations make it enjoyable for listening as well.

My favorite is Secret Agent Radio. I turn it on and I am brought into a different world.....
a smokey bar where I am about to meet a contact. They have information which I need about a top secret file. The retrieval of the file is imperative to my mission's success. If I fail, the leader of my organization is in grave danger. There have been whisperings of an assasination attempt and the file holds the key to stop the attack......
Bond ordered a double vodka martini. He drank it half down. He felt wonderful. Suddenly the last four days, and particularly last night, were washed off the calendar......*

Whatever I imagine when I listen to Soma, it is something different that is not available in many other places. It is a valuable mood setter for me, especially when I am writing. If nothing else you will be exposed to something a little different than what you are used to listening to. Variety helps the imagination to expand which is something that we could all use considering the time we spend in front of the biggest imagination sucker ever invented (TV).
