Hype Machine Unleashes Hype Radio!

One of our favorite sites (and probably yours too), MP3-aggregator, The Hype Machine, has just unveiled their latest project - Hype Radio. The station's mission is pretty simple - to play tracks uploaded from music blogs around the world on an entirely random rotation. In the past hour alone, CSNY was played alongside Blonde Redhead, followed by Kelly Clarkson. Oh. Yes. There's even a feature to sample the station via your iTunes. Long live The Hype Machine.
