First music I ever "streamed" and still excellent. Thank you, Rusty!

Really impressive that they've stayed online nearly 20 years. I used to listen to this and MonkeyRadio all the time. They've added a lot of new channels though.

hah! was just wondering what happened to monkeyradio... iirc it was one of the winamp developers who did the selecting...

SomaFM is one of the sites I like to donate to when I can. I also use their Amazon affiliate link as an Amazon bookmark. Drone Zone has been my main background music when working for a couple of years now!

Listening to this since musciforhackers.com went down. Donated a bitcoin back when they were still cheap. Rusty also DJ's at Defcon.

Definitely one of the gems of what we now call the indie-web.

I envy Rusty his attention span.

Love it! Been a fan for many years. Would still love to find the archive of music/sounds from musicforhackers.com from years ago. That was an epic channel.
