New Internet Radio Offerings from AOL

You may have noticed that AOL's indie blog has been re-branded as Spinner.com. Seems like they're trying to bring all of their various music offerings to one centralized location. Makes sense, though I'm not sure it makes sense to use the Spinner brand, which AOL bought 7 years ago and never had much success with. Anyway, among numerous other offerings, Spinner has several radio stations of note, including:

Spinner Radio, which offers a "random mix" of indie-type music.

Indie 500, which offers indie old and new.

Misfits Overdose, which is all Danzig-era Misfits, all the time. Kick ass.

And, my favorite, the Yacht Rock-inspired Sailing Away, which will play all the hits from Christopher Cross, REO Speedwagon and The Doobie Brothers. This is not a joke.

For more information about Spinner and its various radio offerings, go here.

Truth be told, except for a little Misfits and Doobies here and there, I'll stick with WOXY.
