Marshall Tucker Band - Canāt you seeā¦
How can three chords over and over sound so good?

That song is the epitome of the sunny 70s American vibe. Yacht Rock. Left Coast 70s on SomaFM.

SomaFmā¦! Right on. Iāve not ever come across another listener. Left Coast 70s is a great vibe, but it seems like one of the few stations that has a smaller playlist, I hear the same songs regularly, but maybe thereās just not a huge amount of Yacht Rock out thereā¦ Groove Salad has been my background soundtrack for probably 10 years, and Iāve got a running playlist made up from it. For doing jigsaw puzzles I like to put on Mission Control. For weekend mornings in the house with the family my go to is Boot Liquor. Also trying to introduce my 10 year old to an alternative to Taylor Swift through Lush
And for afternoon naps - Drone Zone
Sorry for all the links, but SomaFm is quite probably the best free listener supported radio there isā¦

Iāve known you were a SomaFM listener from years ago ;) I mightāve mentioned in passing back on reddit. Been listening on and off since 2006. Mainly the OGs - Secret Agent and Groove Salad. I think youāre the only one Iāve encountered other than the internet friend that got me onto it initially.
Nowadays I mostly listen to Drone Zone to help me sleep. Left Coast 70s does recycle the same tunes unfortunately, as do some of the ālesserā stations; I imagine licensing costs a bomb. But it is a great vibe for about 45 minutes esp when on a long drive. I was into Indie Pop Rocks and PopTron for a while in the early to mid 2010s, and HEAVILY into Folk Forward and Irish tunes on Thistle Radio exactly between 2013-2015. Got into Beat Blender + Fluid in the late 2010s. (Those two are so good for emotional bus rides at night in the rain)
When Iām working I might tune into Deep Space One for calm concentration, or The Trip for hectic rapid fire action to block out the world.
I havenāt listened to that much SomaFM in the last year or two tbh. Been mostly tuning into PBS FM, but when I really want all music and no talk, SomaFM is the best. Coincidentally enough, though, i did blast several hours of Secret Agent through my headphones last night just like the old days. They even played this nostalgic track that, as one YT commenter put it, āmakes me fall in love with life againā every time I hear it, no matter how much it sounds like a cheesy Nintendo BGM.
I canāt say female vocals are my thing but I should give Space Station Soma a crack! Youāre damn right though that itās one of the most dedicated and longstanding listener-supported radio stations ever. A nice corner of the internet that still feels like the old days; may it never change.
