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.

Has Slacker signed a deal with XM to reuse their exclusive programming? The reason I'm asking is because when I was listening to the Slacker "Comedy (Explicit)" station today, one of the tracks that came up was what they called "30-Minute Interview" by Mitch Fatel....and it's 30 minutes of Sonny Fox interviewing Mitch Fatel in the XM Comedy show "Stand Up Sit Down"!

Does XM know that Slacker is doing this? Somehow I have to think they don't.
