Music For Hackers
==

To a hacker, there's something distracting about booting up a GUI to listen to your tunes. You live your life in the terminal, you treat the mouse like a high voltage tap.

So give these commands a run in the terminal, and toss on your headphones.

    sudo apt-get install mplayer
    echo "alias defcon-start='nohup mplayer http://sfstream1.somafm.com:6200 > /dev/null 1>&2 &'" >> ~/.bashrc
    echo "alias defcon-stop='killall -9 mplayer'" >> ~/.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc
    
Now you can start and stop DefCon Radio with `defcon-start` and `defcon-stop`.

DefCon Radio is brought to you by [SomaFM](http://somafm.com/). If you like what you hear, [please donate](http://somafm.com/support/).

If you'd like to switch up the station, SomaFM has a wide range of different genres, all underground! Just swap the stream URL into the second echo command above.
