Flatbasset Radio: Episode #52 (Best Of 2014 - The Current Song Of The Day)


I've grown tired of trying to change for you...


Well hello again, podcast fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #52!

It's the first show of 2015 and, as you have likely gathered from the unnecessarily long title of this episode, it's time to countdown some shit from 2014!

To be completely honest, this countdown is pretty much my favorite episode of the year.  As you know, I'm a die-hard follower of The Current's SOTD podcast and a die-hard fan of ranking things. Honestly, the only way I could have had more fun doing this episode is if I could have convinced MinneSarah to co-host (her anti-MPR strain runs deeper than mine, which is staggering).


Anyway, I'm flying solo on this one and you're just going to have to deal with that.  In addition to counting down my 10 favorite Current SOTD tracks I mispronounce a bunch of names, attempt a British accent, admit that I have no concept of what's going on in the Twin Cities music scene, reveal which singer could wrap me around her finger with minimal effort, compare a Wilco side-project to one of history's great pop bands, make my peace with Canada's favorite synth-pop band, and name the #1 best Current Song Of The Day track of 2014!

As always, this episode is available to download or stream.  Just click the episode title below for a download link or click on the Mixcloud player below to stream.
