SomaFM Indie Pop Rocks! (128k AAC)

The directory lists three streams in the United States under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number one hundred and twenty-eight. Nothing here is taken from the other two.

Out of 1,481 entries in the United States, this one ranks 27. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The directory counts 51 opens against this stream. That is well above the United States' median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Indie covers 7 of the United States' entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

36 of the United States' entries are served from ice2.somafm.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
