Blast the sweet tunes of San Andreas with this vintage Pi Radio. Via The Mag Pi:
Raphaël’s love of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’s in-game radio stations inspired him: “It’s always a pleasure to steal luxury cars and drive way too fast while listening to good music! The hilarious talk-shows and skits make it even more real.” When the complete set of station recordings was released by Rockstar, some new ideas for a project started to form.
