At Phenomblue, we love independent radio.  Headquartered in Omaha, NE, the home of Saddle Creek Records, we have a  special place in heart for Indie Rock in general.  Most of us grew up with the Saddle Creek bands like Bright Eyes, The Faint, Cursive, and The Good Life.  In fact, some of our team members have played in Saddle Creek bands and others currently play with touring acts outside of Saddle Creek.  The bottom line is, we love music.

We also listen to WOXY all the time.  It’s actually streamed throughout our office over the PA all day!  WOXY is an independent Internet radio station based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The station features the latest and best Indie rock.  The station has listeners from across the globe, and features acts live in their studio lounge “Lounge Acts” frequently.  They also run a play list allowing you to go back and see which song was playing at a given time and then purchase the music from Lala.

While they have a pretty cool pop up web widget for the play list, we thought it needed an overhaul.  This morning, we created a small Adobe Air application that features a play list, buy links, and the ability to temporarily hide the widget.

Anyway, we thought is was cool, so we are sharing it.  You can download it here.
