Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #14


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

I roll with clever broads with goals like Federov...


Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio – Episode #14!

For those of you who don't know quite what you're looking at, here's the story. Each week TCDroogsma participates in our Songs Of The Week column reviewing the tracks given away via The Current. Since he tends to be overly negative in those reviews we've asked him to put together a weekly podcast for the blog to prove to us that he does actually enjoy music and has valid thoughts about contemporary artists.

Once he does that we pass his hour-long free podcast on to you in the hopes that you'll listen to it and enjoy Droogsy's jams and commentary on said jams.

On this week's episode TCDroogsma compares the new Atoms For Peace album to Thom Yorke's solo work, revisits a pop-punk classic, plays a song he knows nothing about, claims Iggy Pop is “Mick Jagger with peanut butter,” gets a little too excited about his new favorite Minneapolis band, embraces a “fuck you” attitude toward pretty much everything, shines a light on his second-favorite Canadian rapper, and finds solace in the outlook of the British. It was a strange week.
