Halloween programming and more

I sent this out to the SomaFM mailing list today:

It's almost Halloween! And our annual Halloween channel has turned into a full-time station from SomaFM called "Doomed" - but just because it's not a special channel, don't forget it's there this Halloween! It's the perfect soundtrack for your halloween party, or just to have playing in the house when the kids come trick or treat-ing.

Two more things:

1) It's music festival time. If you're in New York at the CMJ Music Marathon, keep an eye out for Elise Nordling host of Indie Pop Rocks. Or if your in Iceland for the Airwaves music festival, keep an eye out for Rusty (me!) who will be there as well (hint: come to Ione on Saturday night, I brought a bunch of T-shirts to give away to SomaFM fans).

2) We've revamped the website a bit so that when you launch the station, it now brings up a page showing what's played and gives you a chance to buy downloads from iTunes and CDs from Amazon.com - we make a 5% commission on these sales so whatever you buy helps us out!

AND FINALLY REMEMBER:

SomaFM is listener supported and commercial free! We do this by relying entirely on your for our financial support. Thanks to everyone who has supported SomaFM in the last year and if you haven't supported SomaFM lately, we'd love to have your financial support. We even have automatic monthly subscription programs now, or you can contribute in a lump sum.

If you listen all the time, please support us at the $7.99 a month level minimum. If you only tune in once or twice a week, the $2.99 level. And if you're too poor to support us, even $1 a month will help us. Think of it. You spend more than that on coffee or sodas.

We're a tiny operation and we do this because we love it. But love doesn't pay the bills. (And it costs a lot to run a radio station).

Thanks for being part of the SomaFM family!
