Somnolescent Radio: Winter 2020

Posted on January 23, 2020 by bulb

We listen to a lot of music at Somnolescent, and we’ve been gradually sharing more and more of it with one another. It’s entertainment, inspiration, and something to pour over fansites and music sites hunting down. Indie rock, dad rock, things that aren’t rock, the lot.

A Year Under the Bulb: 2019 in Review

Posted on December 25, 2019 by bulb

9/9 – Blueberry Milk

Posted on September 9, 2019 by bulb

Two new sites, bios and refs, stories, a little raccoon out on a giant adventure, and I’ve started playing Cookie Clicker again. This one’s gonna be so massive, I’ve had to split it into sections, so get cozy in the nearest armchair. It’s time for a recap. Continue reading →
