[Pdr] Music on PDR

Yes this is a great idea.

When Nikhil visited I did fantasise about having something like an PDR
account on Mixcloud, Soundcloud, or suchlike. I like the idea of
complementing the website with related PD curatorial activity on
Twitter, Facebook, Flickr (photo pool), and other accounts. Having
some more 'social' audio curation would be a really nice way to build
our reputation amongst audiophiles etc.
