Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #9 (Best Of 2012 Countdown!)


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

(ALSO, I FIXED THE LINKS.  YOU CAN ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE PODCAST NOW.) 

Threat Level: Orange Juice...


Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Episode #9 of our weekly Flatbasset Podcast!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the podcast, here's the story. Each week TCDroogsma participates in our Songs Of The Week column. Since he's typically kind of a jerk in that column we asked him if he'd like to put together a weekly podcast to prove that he actually does like music and, on occasion, has interesting things to say about it. Foolishly, we also asked him to wish our readers a Happy New Year. So now this exists:


Since this is the first week of the New Year we asked TCDroogsma to put together a Top 10 list of his favorite 2012 albums. Not only did he do that, but he also scolds children, explains a theory about British discographies, explains why Chris Martin put Coldplay on hiatus, actually says, “Nobody does Bloc Party quite like Bloc Party,” (which is arguably the dumbest sentence this blog has been affiliated with), and wishes everybody a happy new year!



Click the player above to listen to the podcast. Click the title below to download it for your very own.  Here's how the show breaks down:



10. Why? - Thirteen On High (from the album Mumps, Etc.)





09. Illogic & Blockhead – Heartless (from the album Preparing For Capture 2)




08. The Vaccines - Teenage Icon (from the album The Vaccines Come Of Age)




07. Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music (from the album R.A.P. Music)




06. Bloc Party - Real Talk (from the album Four)




05. P.O.S. - All Of It (from the album We Don't Even Live Here)




04. Aesop Rock – Leisureforce (from the album Skelethon)




03. The Cribs - Jaded Youth (from the album In The Belly Of The Brazen Bell) 





02. El-P - The Full Retard (from the album Cancer 4 Cure) 




01. Blur - Under The Westway (from the single Under The Westway)









So there you have it, everybody. That's the last 2012 list we'll be publishing here on Newest Industry. Bye by, 2012. Thanks for everything.
