So it looks like online radio station, WOXY , will be no more. They were based out of Cincy, but they recently relocated down to Austin. Now it appears, according to a message on their home page that they will be suspending their live broadcasts today. This comes only a few days after SXSW wrapped up in their new home town. They site financial problems. Perhaps they were stringing it along as long as they could and decided to wait until SXSW finished. Via WOXY (the [...]
HANK ALTOGETHER: One of the best places in the web for independent music, WOXY.com has died, again . It's been a tough year for deaths in general. Let's hope this one doesn't take. For a firsthand account of WOXY's death, and musings on its community, visit our friend Flux-Rad .
Link: http://content.usatoday.com/co mmunities/popcandy/post/2010/0 3/shocking-shutdown-woxy-goes- off-the-air/1 Link: http://woxy.com/ I just heard of WOXY for the first time today, but apparently it was an indie radio station based on the internet. It had a 'loyal fan base', and people can probably make the argument that it was an important tastemaker in the pre-blog era. Honestly don't know what to write about it because I am unfamiliar with the content + business model, but it honestly seems like it was 'doomed to fail' like most technological ventures [...]
Just heard the news that, as of today, we have lost yet another independent voice in music. The recently relocated WOXY (from Cincinnati, OH to Austin, TX) announced they are ceasing operations until further notice. After leaving its terrestrial FM roots in 2004 WOXY reemerged as the preeminent leader in online independent radio. The combination [...]
We were just listening to the WOXY stream in our office when it went to dead air and a notice of closure appeared on their website . Then program director Matt Shiv sent out this message to friends and colleagues: It is absolutely mindboggling to me that I have to sit down and write these words: WOXY.com is being shut down today by our owners at Future Sounds. Mike, Joe, Brian, and I uprooted our lives to Austin under the belief that we were finally under ownership that would take things [...]
At 10AM today the streams at WOXY went silent for a third time in the radio station's career. Future Sounds , the company that bought WOXY from Lala.com, has run out of cash. Find all the details over at WOXY . Please, someone with money buy WOXY . Shiv and Joe and others moved their families from Cincinnati to Austin and things were just starting to get going - just look at this past week of amazing SXSW coverage. Goddamn it. Someone better buy that company or at the [...]

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings stopped at WOXY during SXSW and recorded a video of "She Ain't A Child No More," one of the band's new songs.
Hopefully this early AM hazy mist will burn off and we'll have another scorcher like yesterday, but you should start your day off with us at Shangri-La for Day 3 of 4 of THE RUMBLE @ SXSW . Today's line up is about diversity, ranging from Seattle's HEY MARSEILLES to a 12 piece soul band from Milawaukee ( KINGS GO FORTH ) to the piano driven CHASING KINGS to the perfect party band, CASXIO . LA's THE TENDER BOX and PEPPER RABBIT round things out. Free. [...]

Mumford & Sons have been a round for a couple of years now, playing gigs in and around London along with buddies of the same scene like Johnny Flynn and Noah And The Whale, but they've only just (October 2009) released their debut album "Sigh No More". Polarising critics (some saying their music is awful, some (most) saying it's excellent) they've made an album that's passionate and catchy, melodious and stomping, but most of all enjoyable. I think I'm on an Indie-Folk kick lately as most of the bands I'm featuring seem to be in that kind of [...]
