It’s finally that time of year!

If you’re in the US, UK, Canada, or Mexico and have a smart speaker, it might be just this easy to listen to Toast Radio!

David Thomas, anarchic Pere Ubu bandleader, dies aged 71 The US musician was a major influence on post-punk and alt-rock scenes thanks to his spirited, chaotic style

Well, hell

Good news on the music licensing front — Toast Radio can now be streamed in Mexico without resorting to a VPN!

The same ad-free and talk-free stream that can be picked up through Live365, TuneIn, Apple Music, and on the toast.radio site.

¡Larga vida a la música!

“It’s a brand new record, for nineteen-ninety!” cuts deeper every year

Albeit Zuzu’s Petals being fucking awesome and far from 3rd tier or quasi-alternative

I had a dream last night where I was at a merch table that had Old 97’s stickers (sized between a large bumper sticker and a small banner)

They didn’t have an apostrophe, so they had a stack of smaller stickers with one to put on the end (which made it Old 97s’, but my dream logic didn’t flag that)

Long rows of CDs on the floor, filling the width of a small room

I’ll grab the dolly

…which I just did with your full discography on Apple Music. Really fantastic, thanks for reaching out!

Funny side coincidence too; after years of effort we just got our home solar online two days ago 😁

With new artists I’ll listen to some songs and if they’re a fit, I’ll add them to a list that I’ll purchase (typically through iTMS) and feature every few months (replacing the previous set, which goes into the regular rotation).

Hi there! Toast is very much a microbroadcast — literally a one-man show. There’s typically four or fewer listeners at a time with a monthly ATH of 1,000 or less.

It is *very* Freeform 😁

D’oh! Sorry about that… music licensing rules are restrictive and complex!

Sadly, connections are only allowed from the US, UK, and Canada, based on the IP address of the listener

First Five Star Friday of the new year!

Some really great songs streamed so far with many more to come

I was just reading that on the Winding Way site! I’ll be sure to check it out. Toast is very literally a one-man operation (and microbroadcast) but when I find music that’s a fit I’ll buy it to add to the mix.

Very cool! That album’s been in the rotation for 22(!) years. New Hit Song’s a long-time fave!

Is this where the line forms?

Robot 8, take a break, you’ve been on these streets too long

I. WOULD. WALK…

(running back from the internet) I was about to say I *do* have two albums by Winterpills

Not! But I’m getting the feeling that’s another path I need to go down 😁

I miss when Costco would sell $100 iTunes Gift Cards for $80, but those offers went away before iTunes Gift Cards did

I do love that album! I keep meaning to go back earlier in their discography

A favorite lyric off a favorite song from a favorite album that in no way can be 27 years old:

You’re writing postcards to yourself
And they read:
“I’m sad and I wish that you were here.”

Sure… strip all the Mastodon code from the upcoming artists bot @upcoming.toast.radio. It never got much traction there anyway and the botsin.space host is shutting down.

None of its code is used on the Bluesky side, just save and go to bed. No need to test!

(12 hours later notice it’s broken 🙄)
