Stuff I Like: Electro blogs.
I'm a fan of electro, I'll admit- I found house music to be bland (something about fifteen-second samples), but this blog covers much more than that- spanning music releases like Dada Life's GF#13 and a go-to list of events to hit up.

Low-Content: The Qemists
Deviating from the recent trend of "articles", here's a simple artist recommendation:
Check out the DnB (bordering on Dubstep) group, [ The Qemists ].
Something like alternative meets moody electro, I think. Their songs aren't necessarily the "repeated listen" sort of tracks, but they're a fresh step out of my recent rock binge.
That hosting article is on its way, I promise!

Stuff I like: DRT's Rising Sun and DJ Okawari
For reference, I like DRT's 16-bit Rising Sun, available here.
Having discovered DJ Okawari from a post by a friend of mine, I was immediately smitten with the style.
A quick search on youtube yielded this freely available playlist, composed of mellow piano music and laid-back hip-hop beats. Turn on RainyMood in the background, and you've got a recipe for deliciously relaxing background music.
It's not quite the same as, say, Ride of the Valkyries, which is also fantastic music that makes everything you do seem incredibly important.

Important: Bonus Features and Soundcloud
An important read for anyone who is even remotely involved in application development: [ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2006/11/01/922449.aspx ]
I am not fond of any application that does anything that I don't explicitly tell it to do, or software that causes unnecessary clutter. I do enough of that on my own, actually- and I routinely clean up my desktop as a result.
Just because I clean my desktop regularly does not mean I am okay with unnecessary features. I detest the installation of items in my taskbar or browser unless I specifically request them and install them myself- all of the installers that have the "We recommend _____ toolbar..." and have the option to install it automatically checked is deceiving and borderline malicious, in my opinion.
Enough ranting.
I'm no professional discjockey, but I put together some bass-heavy dubstep to listen to.
