Hello,

I listen quite often to Indie Pop Rocks off of SomaFm.com. If I didn’t have this great way of learning about good new music, I am positive my monthly CD purchases would decrease. I can point to at least thirty CDs that I purchased solely because I first heard their music on Indie Pop Rocks. If I only listened to ClearChannel-type homogenized terrestrial radio, I would absolutely never have heard of–let alone purchased the recording of–bands such as the Aislers Set, Loquat, Victory at Sea, Say Hi To Your Mom, Rainer Maria, Duke Spirit, Midnight Movies, The Wrens, Stars, Islands and The Unicorns.

I appreciate what you are doing to help Internet radio survive. For my part, I have already written my congressional representatives using the links from your site and signed an Internet petition that currently has over 14,000 signatures. I hope that I have helped and that your efforts will not be in vain.

I am a big fan of Indie Pop Rocks on SomaFM. It gets me through every single day at my office. The best part is that the name of the song and band scroll across my iTunes window. Anytime I hear something I like, I write it down. Music that I have bought because I heard it on this Internet radio station makes up about 80% of the new music I have bought in the last year. The remaining 20% is music that I have bought after watching the band live. Indie Pop Rocks is the ONLY station I can listen to at work. Perfect mix of everything at the right pace to keep me going without distracting me. And there are no commercials which is ideal!
