HackerSoundScapes

TODO

• Split the tracks into coherent "CDs". E.g. make a "joke CD" with the funny stuff, not suitable for playing at a "regular" party
• Find more sources for playing songs online
• Make Find PWN PWND a torrent :p

Streams

• SomaFM: Listener-supported, commercial-free, underground radio broadcasting station from San Francisco featuring several channels, including progressive house & trance, downtempo electronica, cliqhop and Goa & desi-influenced asian world beats.
• Hirschmilch Radio: (from the "About" page) Since its launch at the end of 2008 hirschmilch.de brings you free electronic music 24/7. Channels: Chillout / Electronic / Prog-House / Progressive / Psytrance. A good soundtrack for keeping a stable and stimulating mood during work/hacking sessions.
