WOXY Vintage airing 20th annual Modern Rock 500 this week

WOXY Vintage

Beloved Web-based radio outlet WOXY this morning kicked off the 20th installment of its Modern Rock 500, a countdown of the last 25 years’ worth of indie and alternative music.

This year, the countdown is being aired on WOXY Vintage in four 125-song installments through Friday. “We wanted to run this year’s 500 at a time when most people would be able to hear it: during the day, during the week,” the station’s managers write on their Web site.

Even better, after each segment’s over, WOXY Vintage will immediately repeat it. Plus, the whole thing will be archived for on-demand listening.

To get a taste of what’s in store, here’s last year’s countdown.

Schedule for WOXY’s Modern Rock 500 (all times Eastern):

9 a.m. Tuesday: #500-#376
9 a.m. Wednesday: #375-#251
9 a.m. Thursday: #250–#126
9 a.m. Friday: #125-#1
