Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #31!
For those of you who are unaware of the Flatbasset Radio format, here's what you're looking at: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you've probably noticed in his Songs Of The Week column, he's not always the most positive music fan. In an effort to prove that he is, in fact, a fan of music, we give him an hour each week to play the songs he's digging and talk a little bit about them. Once he's recorded his podcast we put it right here on the website for free to stream and/or download!
In this week's episode TCDroogsma is flying solo from Planet New Basset. He spends the week celebrating the anniversaries of several of his favorite albums, uses one of his theories on life to justify playing U2, tells Beyonce to "put it away for a while," concedes to being years late to one of the 2000's great bands, does his best not to get sued, gets "super pumped" for the new Hold Steady album (while firing shots at their tour itinerary), discusses the roots of Kanye's controversy-filled career, misreads song titles, can't figure out how old he was 20 years ago, discusses three albums that shaped "music kids" in 1994, explains just how he spent ten years in a "punk rock wormhole," and plays the song that sent him on the path to music nerd-dom!
