Just freshly launched last week, iHeard is a new Internet Radio search engine. And the scary part is that it makes finding and listening to any Internet Radio station very very (very) easy.

Too easy.

Seattle-based Fusa Capital Corp. unleashed iHeard last Tuesday, allowing users to find free Internet radio stations from around the globe - and hear them - within a single destination website.

Organized by genre, country and language, the iHeard engine even indexes online simulcasts offered by AM/FM radio stations, and plays the streams right inside the original window. Unlike Radio-Locator, you're not just shunted off to another website - it all plays seamlessly within your browser. A choice of streaming formats depending on the station you're listening to is provided, including RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Winamp and iTunes.

Iheard is the latest addition to Fusa Capital's network of search sites: which includes podanza.com (Podcasts), newstowatch.com (News Aggregator) and searchforvideo.com (self-explanatory).

The question is, can you access it from your smartphone and then listen in your car? (The answer is yes, I just did it.)

Slacker and Spin Magazine have partnered up to bring together a free Slacker Spotlight Station called "Spin Punk."

The "Spin Punk" Slacker Spotlight Station coincides with what Spin called its "ultimate punk issue." Entitled "1977: The Year Punk Exploded!" the October edition of Spin (on newstands right now) includes an article chronicling the rise of punk, 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 Spotlight Station features the most influential punk music spanning over 30 years handpicked by editors at Spin. It also lets listeners view cover art and read profiles of each artist and album to further enhance the punk music experience.

"Spin has always been about giving our readers a new perspective on music," said Malcolm Campbell, publisher of Spin. "By partnering with Slacker, our '30 Years of Punk' issue provides a new take on the evolution of Punk. Readers can now simply click and listen to the music that has left an indelible mark on our culture."

Since Slacker has an embeddable widget, I've embedded the Spin Punk station into Orbitcast... check it out after the jump, or follow the link below to check it out on Slacker.com.
