Cypher discovers SomaFM (where have I been?)

Discovered SomaFM online (http://www.somafm.com); best new music I've heard in years; amazing tracks on their "indie pop rocks" station... One I just gave a listen to was Shabop Shalom, by the group or writer, Devendra Banhart......fab mix of 50s bebop, elvis and I don't know what else...teases with licks containing old-fashioned innocent charm, but one coated in the ironies of an Isaac B. Singer-esque text and subtext ...a truly fine post-modern musical rollick.  Give this station a try!
