Something told me it'll work out...
Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #103!
As you can probably tell from the title of this week's show and the flag-draped banner at the top of the post, Flatbasset Radio: Episode #103 is an extra special edition of the show. That's right, folks, it's our annual Canada Day Special!
Making this year's show even more important: July 1st, 2017 marks Canada's Sesquicentennial! That's right, folks, it's been 150 years since Canada officially told England, "We're sorry, but we'd like to be our own country now, if that's OK. Sorry." Good on ya, Canada.
To mark the occasion, I've got 12 jams lined up to celebrate some of the great music that's come from our brothers & sisters to the north. From Abbotsford to Halifax and back again. I've got a little hip-hop, our mid-show electronic break, a few anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, the Flatbasset Flatclassic, and more power-pop than any show before this. Seriously, it think, after maple syrup, left-hand shot defensemen, and sweet, sweet crude oil, power-pop is probably Canada's most valuable resource.
As always, Flatbasset Radio is completely free. I've finally set up a decent downloading site, so if you'd like to download Flatbasset Radio: Episode #103 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.
