Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #8 (Christmas Spectacular!)


(THIS POST ORIGINALLY APPEARS ON THE TWIN CITIES BLOG NEWEST INDUSTRY)

If God came down on Christmas day, I know exactly what he'd say...


Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio – Episode #8 (Christmas Spectacular!)

For those who are new to the podcast, here's the story. TCDroogsma is one of our regular contributors. Specifically, he can be found being unnecessarily harsh in our Songs Of The Week column. So, each week we ask him to play us some songs that he actually likes.

This week TCDroogsma brings us a round of Christmas cheer! In between playing Christmas songs he debates the serving size of egg nog, tries to justify playing Zooey Deschanel & Tom Waits, lets us Americans in on a Boxing Day secret, invites listeners to debate nature of the fabric of his pants, and gives a big thanks to all our readers!

If you somehow want even more TCDroogsma he can be found on Twitter (@TCDroogsma). He can also be found rambling over on his personal blog Flatbasset. No truth to the rumor that he spends his free time casing Whoville.


Newest Industry has a home on Twitter as well (@NewestIndustry1). Give us a follow to stay up on the work being done by our contributors. As TCDroogsma mentions in the podcast, we have a Facebook page here. Trivial as it seems, stopping by and giving us a “like” goes a long way to supporting the blog. It's all we want for Christmas.
