SomaFM is now on Nokia Internet Radio. That means if you have a Nokia N96, N95, N93i, N91, N82, N81, N78, N77, N76, N73, E71, E66, or 6110, you can access SomaFM over Nokia Internet Radio now.

We've added a 32kb MP3 stream for Tag's Trip, and upped the 64kb aacPlus stream to 96kb. Hopefully you can hear the difference? Leave a comment here if you notice any improvement from the 64kb aacPlus to the 96kb.

In the past, you might remember that we had different content on the aacPlus streams and the MP3 streams. That's all fixed now; all streams/formats play the same content at the same time.

Did you know that Tag played 3929 different tracks in July? And only 80 of them got played more than once? That's the kind of musical diversity you don't see ever from "commercial" radio stations.

We've been talking to lots of different artists lately, including some that make music outside the genres that we currently play. It's all part of the never-ending search to find more good music.

SomaFM: Interviews: Parlor Mob: "
We caught up with the Parlor Mob backstage at Download Festival. The initial comparisons to Led Zeppelin ring true even when these guys aren't on stage; they recline on those tacky red couches with an ease you would expect from a group of classic rock legends. We get to chatting about their first national tour, New Jersey and a run in with Suge Knight."

We did a ton of live interviews and met a bunch of cool people at Download 08.  Here's the first, an interview with Louis XIV.
