Grep and Hypemachine

Technical writing ahead:

You'll notice that the track listings for each mix are now linked to The Hype Machine. This allows you to search an artist's catalog in-depth, and also to find songs on mixes that have been taken down.

Typing each link out by hand would have taken too long, so I turned to Grep, a pattern-matching utility for searching text.
