Slacker.com has created a streaming net radio show of punk songs to go along with Spin magazine’s October issue, “1977: The Year Punk Exploded!”
The Spin Punk station consists of handpicked songs representing the most influential punk music spanning three decades and is the musical counterpart to Spin’s punk coverage. The issue includes an article chronicling the rise of punk, explosive interviews with the Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten and the Clash’s Mick Jones, a definitive timeline of punk in 1977, and much more.
The Slacker music player is a little odd. When I skipped a song, a message told me that I had “5 skips left.” After that, I guess I can’t skip again. Ridiculous.
