Howto build your own last.fm radio with vnc controlling unit

I can't live without music. I listen to a lot of music! I am bored by my own music, because I have heard every track a thousand times.
Buy new music! ... but which music?

I don't really like listening to the radio, because, no matter which radio station you are listening to, they are playing a few good songs and a lot of shit and commercials are really annoying.
A few days ago I began to use last.fm. That's cool. You enter a band you like and it generates a personal radio stream with bands that are similar to that for you!

Ok next problem: You just can listen to it using your pc.
So I took an old pc and installed Ubuntu 6.06. Then I installed all the codecs and the other importent stuff. Just use Automatix for that.
At least I installed a last.fm tool called LastExit. I entered my free last.fm account and just a few seconds later I was listening to cool music. I placed the pc on top of my wardrobe and pluged in the 5.1 surround system. To make it easier to controll it I am using vnc.
So I am sitting in my bed with my laptop starting vnc -> starting lastexit on the other pc via vnc and control everything from where I am. The music itself, the volume and I can even tell last.fm if i like this song or not! Wlan is very usefull to keep yourself mobil.
