Easy as it is to rag on AOL-Time Warner and the rest of the biggies for their planet-eating takeover bids and flouting of anti-trust laws, I gotta say that sometimes the largesse of a major label is niiiiiice. Take the recent spate of "listening parties" available on Spinner, AOL's digital music portal. You get full streaming versions of new releases by Spoon, Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, Bad Religion, Justice, Against Me!, Nick Drake...the list is nigh-endless, and if your dripping saliva hasn't already short-circuited your keyboard, follow the jump for direct links to 'em all. Thanks, AOL-Time Warner! And Dr. Pepper, for your generous corporate sponsorship.
