What songs/artists really get you pumped up for programming? What genres are generally the best? Thanks!

Fishbone and anything else similarly eclectic... Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs... stuff like that.

Do a google search though, this topic comes up very regularly.

Haha, it seems like a post like this comes up every two weeks, but I enjoy seeing the responses every time.

Hah, yah I asked this Q last week and somebody told me it had been asked just a few days earlier...

Nevertheless, I was pointed towards Magnet whose album I have since purchased and now recommend to you.

I like the YC community because you don't get flamed for "noob-ish" activities, but you do get informed of them.

Here you go [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=132026]. I agree, I enjoy the responses every time and I actually have the above mentioned link as one of my tabs on FF for a week or so now. I have been meaning to collect some names and head down to the public library and grab a few CDs...

In any case, hope the link helps.

Devin the Dude, and/or a Pandora channel seeded similarly.

I just purchased "TRANCE" on itunes ... pretty good so far.

I swear that if I see this question posted one more time, I'm going to add a library-request-via-hacker-news feature to Reble.
